The Department of Agriculture-Central Visayas (DA7) recently held the harvest festival for the RegionalRice Derby in Batuan, Bohol.

The rice derby features the entries of top six hybrid rice suppliers and demonstration of the mechanized harvest with the Combine Harvester.

It was noted during the harvest that a tremendous increase in crop yield is possible using the hybrid rice seeds.

As compared to the inbred rice seeds, these hybrid rice varieties have high yield when paired with the right inputs and technology," said DA7 Regional Executive Director Atty. Salvador Diputado.

Diputado added tha the results prompted the farmers to embrace hybrid rice as their seed of choice.

Director Diputado personally witnessed the harvest festival with other local officials of Bohol.

Bohol Governor Arthur Yap, Congressman Edgar Chatto and Congressman Kristine Alexie Tutor, sent their respective representatives during the program.
