Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Irrigation Administration turned over solar-powered irrigation systems in Ballesteros and Aparri, and completed another installation in Buguey, Cagayan, to address risks from El Niño. The system in Ballesteros, located in Barangay Palloc, is designed to irrigate 15 hectares for 10 farmers, while a system in Aparri West serves 15 farmers over 15 hectares. These projects aim to sustain irrigation during dry conditions.
