Farm roads seen unlocking agricultural potential of underused parts of Mindanao

2025/12/11 21:06

THE Department of Agriculture (DA) said it is pushing for an “aggressive” farm-to-market road (FMR) buildout in Mindanao to unlock the economic potential of isolated farmland.

Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel, Jr. said the DA is preparing to build roads through promising, but underutilized areas in Mindanao, including sites in Sultan Kudarat and the Liguasan Marsh.

The DA is set to take over FMR construction from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) starting next year.

“We want to put P2 billion into a single road in Sultan Kudarat that will open up 32,000 to 35,000 hectares of new farmland. These areas aren’t being used now because there’s simply no road,” he said in a statement.

He added that connectivity in the Liguasan Marsh could lead to the recovery of up to 300,000 hectares of land.

The DA said it also plans to reinforce these corridors with post-harvest facilities under the World Bank-funded Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP).

According to the DA, the PRDP will roll out cold storage units, dryers, silos and links to ports and emerging agri-ports, which are essential for lowering production costs and raising farmer incomes. — Vonn Andrei E. Villamiel

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
