        AGRICULTURE

            As an Agricultural Province, it is my goal to establish permanent programs which will enhance the output in food production of our farmers and fisher
        folks. Thus far, we continue to complement various programs of the Department of Agriculture that would provide a greater source of revenue for one of
        the most essential sectors in our society.
            December 2016: The Provincial Government of Sorsogon received from the Philippine Rice Institute (Department of Agriculture) the 1st Prize in the
        Search for Most RICEponsible LGU 2016 in the Philippines, for promoting the BE RICEponsible campaign, thereby highly contributing to the improvement
        of consumers’ health, increased income of farmers and achievement of rice self-sufficiency in the country.
