CALBAYOG CITY – Samar First District Engineering Office will implement two Farm-to-Market Roads (FMRs) in convergence with the Department of Agriculture with a total contract amount of P22.56 million.

One of the FMR project is the concreting of Brgy. San Jose to Barangay Langoyon in Calbayog City. This will span 0.4 km of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) with a 6.1-meter width. It has a contract amount of P12.75 million.

On the other hand, another concreting will be constructed with a length of 0.165 km and width of 6.1 meters of PCCP in Barangay Quezon to Barangay San Isidro. This has a contract amount of P9.81 million.

Farmers from said barangays can gain better prices and broader reach for their products once these projects are completed. The constructed roads will also allow farmers to travel their products such as “copra” and rootcrops to be delivered with ease to the nearest market.
