Strawberries in Davao City? Sure! Why not!


Growing strawberries in Davao City? Is it possible? I love strawberries since my childhood. I missed them many times during my expatriate life here in Davao City. 

Growing strawberries in Davao City, is it really possible? We all know that strawberries in the Philippines come from its summer capital Baguio City. But , since connected with the DOST I learned, that with the Department of Science and Technology's assistance, it is now possible to grow strawberries in Davao City.

The DOST XI brought two experts on strawberry production technologies from La Trinidad, Benguet to New Calinan, Baganihan, Marilog  District, Davao City. The experts, namely, Mr. Sergio Gayao and Mr. Peter Bulangen, conducted a short lecture on strawberry production technologies, which includes different varieties and different characterics of the crop. The experts and the farmer members of Baganihan Agri-Eco Ventures Cooperative had a three-day encounter discussing the major requirements for a successful production of strawberries. 

The farmer-members of the Baganihan Agri-Eco Ventures Cooperative were grateful of the knowledge and skill they have gained during the said training. The members vowed to start and ensure the success of the project.

Of course, very important, there were also inputs on pest and disease control, which is the number one problem of the farmers. With the said training, they already understood the seasonality of strawberry production, the peak and low season.

So, the next time, we'll be visiting our supermarket, we should be proud to see that strawberries on the shelves are actually home-grown from Marilog, Davao City.
