THE PANGASINAN State University signed a memorandum of agreement with seven organic farmers’ associations to promote moringa or “malunggay” production in the province.

Under the agreement signed on April 22, 2021, the beneficiaries will receive P4 million for the “Massive Malunggay Seedling Production Program.”

The fund was provided by the Department of Agriculture- Regional Field Office 1 and the Moringaling Philippines Foundation, Inc.

“Prior to the MOA signing, the PSU Research, Extension and Innovation team journeyed around the province, climbing hilly terrains and crossing rushing rivers in search of areas suited for Moringa production,” PSU said on Facebook.

“The beneficiaries were selected based on their capacity to implement the program,” it added.
