We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the young and passionate food technicians from Philippine Rice Research Institute for visiting Apo Ridge View and for continuously guiding us as your partner-grower in the development of the new Adlai variety, Coix 2503.
Your monitoring, technical support, and shared knowledge mean so much to us and to our farmers. We are truly encouraged by the performance of Coix 2503. Compared to older varieties, we observed that it has a shorter plant height, good grain production, and strong resilience even under challenging conditions. 🌱☀️
More than the field visit, we were inspired by our meaningful discussions on strengthening the marketing and information drive about the many health benefits of Adlai, as well as creating more value-added products that can help address hunger and provide additional livelihood opportunities for communities.
Thank you for your dedication, humility, and commitment to helping Filipino farmers and promoting healthier food alternatives for the nation. Together, we continue planting not only crops, but also hope for food security and sustainable agriculture. 🤝🌾
