The threat of the novel virus has not dampened the spirit of our farmers to tend to their crops and to provide the much needed food essentials to every Filipino household in Mindanao. NIA Region 10 is also resilient in our delivery of services with a total of 41,007 hectares of irrigated lands for this cropping season. This has benefitted 39,080 farmers and  ensured continued agricultural productivity.
