00:00The Department of Agriculture's target is to build a mega food hub in the next three years.

00:05Not only will it be able to meet the high or low supply and price of agricultural products.

00:12This is Belle Custodio in the center of the news.

00:16President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. helped Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Lorel Jr.

00:23to discuss some projects for the next three years.

00:27His first target is to build mega food hubs.

00:31There are a lot of volumes from vegetables to meat, everything agricultural produce that is traded every day.

00:40And then around this, there are cold storages and all support infrastructures.

00:47This will help to meet the high or low supply and price of agricultural products

00:53and to avoid incidents such as thrown tomatoes.

00:57The president initially agreed on these concepts.

01:01One will be placed in Clark, another one will be placed in Quezon province.

01:09Clark will serve North Luzon and then Quezon will serve Southern Tagalog plus Bicol.

01:17And then there will be also some sort of similar projects in Luzon, in Visayas and Mindanao.

01:23The DA based its concept on their visit to Thailand last month.

01:28They allocated P3.75 billion in the budget for this, which is also possible to start in the next year.

01:34Aside from this, the DA also allocated the next projects.

01:38There will be a pipe irrigation network system, P25 billion.

01:42There will be waterways, just like what is being done in Vietnam.

01:47There will be a white revolution for the construction of greenhouses

01:52so that we can also use our fertigation and drip irrigation

01:58and then the massive replanting for coconut, among others.

02:02These projects are in line with the president's vision for food security.

02:06Ven Custodio, for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
