The Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) is now in the preparation for the Ubi Festival to be conducted on the 3^rd week of January next year.

However, during the meeting, the Ubi growers reported that we could expect the low supply of Ubi tubers this coming Ubi Festival because some planted Ubi in other municipalities in Bohol have badly affected with disease.

Romulo Campoamor, Ubi grower from Villafuerte, Carmen, Bohol reported that his planted Ubikinampay was affected by the disease that would lost him thousands of pesos.

The ubi growers from Cortes, Dauis, Pilar, Maribojoc, Baclayon, Sikatuna, Dimiao, Antequera, Panglao, Carmen and San Isidro who attended the meeting assured to display their Ubi products in the Ubi Festival.

They asked the leadership of the (PGBh) under the administration of Gov. Art Yap that the venue of the festival would still be at the Bohol Agricultural Promotion Center (BAPC) Ground which is a good place for their buyers.

The Ubi festival has been institutionalized in the province of Bohol through a provincial ordinance which aims to award and recognize the Ubi farmers who have sustained the Ubi industry in the province. By AtoyCosap
