October might just turn out to be an auspicious month for the agriculture industry.
To begin with, October is the month when the industry’s trade show AGRILINK is held annually, and it happens this weekend starting Thursday, Oct. 5 up to Saturday, Oct. 7.
Someone asked what I thought of the possible candidates for the DA. My answer is what I used as todays’ column title. If the future DA secretary is doing it for all the right reasons, maybe! The WHY, as they say, determines the how and the outcomes. If the candidate thinks he can solve the problems of Philippine agriculture, he is doomed.
Many businessmen and corporations that earned billions of pesos in profit did not start out as experts. They simply saw a need, saw potential, saw untapped assets and put together teams, hired specialists and gave them goals and bottom lines. The key word is TAP into the resource, set bottom lines and kick out the “naysayers.”
The incoming DA secretary can also challenge or require agencies and offices of the DA to “stand and deliver” and establish themselves as “centers of excellence” in their area of specialization or expertise. Require these offices to set up and demonstrate and share their concepts and technology at the applied level and on the ground in barangays, towns or provinces.
We hear about it, we read about it, but the painful reality of public health in the Philippines is so horrible I now understand why many poor people end up staying home to die.
