We believe in the potential of Adlai as a superior grain alternative for Filipinos’ diets as well as its potential of being a more profitable crop that can be planted alongside rice and corn to promote the long-term sustainability of partner farms as well as reduce reliance on expensive inorganic fertilizers and pesticides.
Adlai or Job’s tears, contains twice the protein found in rice and possess beneficial health benefits that help mitigate the risks to develop diabetes and allergies. It is also a highly resilient crop which makes it a great alternative given the extreme conditions that the agriculture sector faces due to climate change.
Our guest speaker, Mr. Dante de Lima, has shared his knowledge on best practices from seed selection, field preparation, cash flow management, planting of crops as well as the right timing for supplementary fertilizers.
This move will enable our farmers to achieve higher profitability per area as this superfood is highly coveted by the health-conscious population.
