00:00The target of the Department of Agriculture, under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,
00:06is to build 77 cold storage facilities this year.
00:10This will serve to store fruits, vegetables, and other high-value supplies
00:16so that they won't rot and be used in times of need.
00:20In this way, farm losses will be reduced,
00:23while the supply of food will be strengthened and the price of food won't be cut.
00:30Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chularel Jr. assures that this will be sustainable
00:36and that it won't cost a lot to build.
00:40Solar and wind energy will be used to run the cold storage facilities.
00:45Cold storage facilities are worth P3 billion.
00:50Construction will begin in 2025.
