Road to boost Apalit rice yields

APALIT, Pampanga – The production and distribution of rice in Pampanga’s rice granary in Apalit was boosted following the completion an eight-kilometer road in two villages here that have been isolated for many years.

Balucuc Barangay Captain Gabby Mutuc said at least 70 percent of their some 10,000 residents depend on planting rice. He added that nearby Calantipe, which has some 4,000 people, also depends in rice production.

Mutuc said the problem was they sell their agricultural yield in Pulilan, Bulacan because it was nearer in terms of travel time.
The nearly completed road allows them to reach Apalit town proper in about 30 minutes of land travel. They used to pass by Pulilan and spent at least one hour and 30 minutes before reaching Apalit’s major business center.

Calantipe, Balucuc and two other nearby villages – Cansinala and Tabuyuc – are parts of the so-called rice granary of Pampanga, said Mutuc.
Mutuc said that the four villages produce at least 628,560 cavans of palay yearly. He added that the four Apalit villages have a combined 2,619 hectares of rice land.

“But that is just two harvests a year. We sometimes plant palay three times a year,” said Mutuc in the dialect. He added that Balucuc is the top producer of rice among the four villages, producing some 300,000 cavans of palay per year.

Apalit Mayor Oscar “Jun” Tetangco said the farmers of the four villages will be able to sell their harvests in their town, benefitting the local market.
Tetangco said they will also be able to buy their farming inputs and personal needs in Apalit. He added that the people in the two villages will save time and money in terms of transportation and travel cost.

He accompanied Gov. Lilia Pineda and Board Member Olga Frances David-Dizon on Monday as they inspected the newly constructed road.
Pineda spoke with farmers of Calantipe and Balucuc and they spoke about improving their yield.

Pineda said she will assist the farmers by providing them equipment and fertilizers.
“We will also teach them new technology on planting rice and other agriculture products,” said Pineda in the dialect. ● Joey Pavia
