BALER, Aurora — Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap heralded this province, often struck by calamities, as the country’s next "rice granary" with the inauguration of a $2.6-million modern and integrated rice processing complex that would reduce post-harvest losses and increase farmers’ income and productivity.


Yap told The STAR it is possible that Aurora could emerge as the country’s top rice producer not on gross volume basis but on per capita production based on a combination of good seeds technology and lower post-harvest losses.
