Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) Country Director Kim Eunsub and his colleagues visited the newly established Rice Processing Complex (RPC) in Pototan, Iloilo for facility inspection. They discussed operational plans with the Department of Agriculture (DA) Region and the Provincial Agriculture Office.
The RPC, a donation from KOICA, is set to play a crucial role in the local hybrid rice program.
Designed to mill up to 50 tons of palay per day and featuring a storage capacity of 1,100 tons, the complex aims to enhance rice processing efficiency and support local farmers’ livelihoods.
The RPC is expected to become an integral part of the province’s agricultural framework, paving the way for increased productivity and economic growth for Pototan’s farming cooperatives.
