2022 Outstanding Jackfruit Farmer
MEET: ALICIA C. BAGUION
2022 #UgmadAwardee
Outstanding Jackfruit Farmer
from Ormoc City, Leyte
She is recognized for her untiring effort in sustaining her 3-hectare Jackfruit farm. Recently, her farm was heavily flooded because of tropical storm Agaton, but this did not discourage her. Instead, she found solutions to revive her farm and make it vibrant again.
She is a hands-on lady farmer and is innovative in disease management. She sprays different organic concoctions on her jackfruit trees to make them resistant to diseases. Moreover, she does not use synthetic fertilizer but instead makes use of organic fertilizers such as vermicast and fruit juices.
Also, she markets her own produce either in bulk or by the kilo, de-pulped or chopped into desired sizes by her customers.
Her sheer hard work paved the way for her to earn more and improve her family’s house and send all her children to school.
