01:16particularly tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana due to the ratification of the Free Trade Agreement.

01:22President Marcos thanked the South Korean government for their continued support.

01:27We are also thankful to the Republic of Korea for the overwhelming support of your National Assembly

01:35for the ratification of our FTA which came much earlier than we had expected.

01:41You have reinforced our call for a brighter and more sustainable future for all.

01:46According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr.,

01:50the so-called project is in line with the needs of the agricultural sector.

01:54It also plays a major role in the success of the project despite the threat of climate change.

02:00This greenhouse represents more than just infrastructure.

02:04It symbolizes innovation, hope, and power of collaboration

02:08as we work together to uplift the lives of our farming communities.

02:13It reflects our collective vision of sustainable farming that embraces modern solutions

02:18and adapts to the ever-evolving needs of the sector.

02:57and he thanked the farmers.

02:59Although we can say that the industry of agriculture in Lukban is prosperous,

03:05we also need to follow the changing times.

03:10To make this year even more prosperous,

03:12our farmers should have more knowledge and technology

03:19so that the rice and rice fields will have a higher income.
