CALBAYOG CITY – A farm-to-market road (FMR) has been constructed from Barangays Majacob to Sugod in the Municipality of Tarangnan, Samar in convergence with the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) having a contract amount of P35.47 million.

The barangays' products and nearby areas are mostly root crops and copra which is their main source of income, thus such road is built to address the problem of farmers in the transportation of goods.

The road spans 820 meters of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) road with a width of 6.10 meters. A stone masonry and embankment is also incorporated with a length of 752.90 meters.

This FMR will further help farmers in transporting their goods to the marketplace faster and more convenient allowing them to gain better prices and wider reach for their products.
