ANTIQUE – The Department of Agriculture (DA) recently facilitated the groundbreaking for the rehabilitation of the San Jose Feeder Port in San Jose de Buenavista town.
With the project cost amounting to P290,673,000, the project is seen to ease the mobility of commodities in the province of Antique.
The municipalities of Anini-y, Tobias Fornier, Hamtic, San Jose, Sibalom, San Remegio, Belison, Patnongon, and Valderrama will primarily benefit from the port rehabilitation.
The DA emphasized that the facility will also be a hub for ocean vessels to deliver products from Antique to the neighboring provinces, skipping highway traffic for faster transportation of agri-fishery products.
“This milestone is bringing us closer to bringing food security to the country,” Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Logistics Daniel Alfonso Atayde said.
This undertaking is the largest Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) in Antique, according to DA. (PIA Antique)
