“This certification is a testament to our collective efforts to champion Zero Hunger and agricultural and rural development,” Dr. Salunson said. “By becoming a hub for certified inbred rice seeds production, we are not only enhancing food production but also providing farmers with reliable, high-yielding varieties that can empower farming communities.”
