Seven tobacco-based-cooperatives and farmers associations in La Union each received from NTA La Union one unit of Massey Ferguson 40-HP farm tractor under the Tobacco Farm Mechanization Project of the National Tobacco Administration. The ceremonial distribution spearheaded by Branch Manager Dr. Giovanni B. Palabay was held on February 18 at the NTA La Union Office in Bauang, La Union.
Last year, NTA La Union distributed five units of Kubota 36-HP farm tractors to La Union farmers under the same project, as part of the effort of the agency to speed up the farm activities of the local tobacco growers and to reduce their production costs.
