“Most of the plants affected were banana trees,” Cabrera said.
But the damage is less compared to the 2005 typhoon, he added.
The affected farmers are now starting to produce new crops, he said.
“The farmers are aware of the bad conditions brought by the rainy season — they know what to do.”
There is no information available yet on how the government will address the issue of damaged crops, and local farmers are still providing produce to Public School System vendors.
According to Cabrera, the farmers are “coping with what they have.”
He hopes there will be no more storms in the succeeding months.
