Ideal Location! Sorghum Shows Consistency In Alamada, Cotabato Midlands

The Sorghum Development Program of our small company, Southseas Agri-Aqua Ventures, Inc., has found a perfect location in the plains, including some selected midland areas, of Alamada, Cotabato.
Yesterday, I made a quick trip to Alamada from Kidapawan City to check on the progress of our White Sorghum in a 2-hectare area in Pigcawaran, Alamada, very near the 3,300-sqm. Demo Farm where we harvested 2.6-metric tons on Nov. 6.
The area, owned by Pigcawaran Barangay Chairman Max Arat, is the second and bigger trial field for the White Sorghum which was introduced to me by Filipino Agricultural Company, Green and Grows Teknologies.
Our company, SAAVI which former Senator Ping Lacson and I, along with several friends formed last year, introduced Sorghum as an option for farmers who are looking for a more drought resistant crop with an added benefit offered after harvest, Sorghum Silage.
Yesterday, after seeing the huge heads of Sorghum which would be ready for harvest in another two weeks, I was convinced that we have found an ideal place to grow this crop which traces its origins from Africa.
Judging by the enormous and long heads of grains, I believe we would equal or even surpass the extrapolated 7.8-metric tons per hectare production based on our first harvest.
With this discovery on the yield potentials of the White Sorghum, SAAVI will now be using two varieties in our Sorghum Program, the U.S. Bicolor from Scott Seeds of Texas and the White Sorghum of the Green and Grow Tekologies.
The continuing trials on the adaptability of Sorghum in Central Mindanao will continue with the establishment of other farms in the lowlands of Mlang, Matalam, Tulunan and Pigcawayan and the midlands of Banisilan, Kidapawan and Arakan Valley.
