2022 Outstanding Corn Farmer
MEET: GRAVELA O. RELE
2022 #UgmadAwardee
Outstanding Corn Farmer
from Ormoc City, Leyte
She is awarded for her deep interest in hybrid corn production as a source of animal feed and for human consumption.
Her three-hectare farm planted with hybrid corn afforded her to earn a better income. The scarcity of yellow corn supply in the market as the main ingredient for animal feed consumption is what prompted her to try this new venture which she found very lucrative. Additionally, she is able to sustain the supply of yellow corn to feed her broiler chickens. Yellow corn is also found nutritious for humans, and her farm is also able to supply this need.
As part of her innovativeness, Mrs. Rele markets her harvest without problems. She even said that marketing yellow corn is no big deal as she is good in this endeavor.
