The Department of Agriculture plans to expand collaboration in agricultural and trade cooperation with the Korean government to open more market access to Filipino farmers.
The DA welcomed newly-appointed director of the Korea Program on International Agriculture (KOPIA) Center in the Philippines Kyu Seong Lee in a courtesy meeting on May 5, 2022.
Agriculture Secretary William Dar said the Philippines looks forward for more collaborative projects that will help increase Philippine agricultural output and raise the living standards of workers in rural communities.
“The Department of Agriculture, especially the Bureau of Plant Industry–Los Baños, would like to extend our sincerest thanks and appreciation to the KOPIA Center–Philippines for your strong partnership and commitment in the implementation of various Technical Cooperation Projects toward food security and increased productivity and income of Filipino farmers,” he said.
