Korea Program on International Agriculture (KOPIA) is one of the partners of the Philippines in achieving rice self-sufficiency. The program aims to explore opportunities to enhance farm productivity and household income in rural farming communities. The success of the project will give quality and positive outputs and accomplishments which, in the end, will benefit not just the institution, but most especially the farmers. Limited supply of high quality seeds is one of the problems encountered by farmers. Mallig FST Cooperative situated in Mallig, Isabela was selected as beneficiary of the project patterned in the Saemallindog (New Community Movement) of korea following the 3 basic Saemaul spirits: Diligence, Self-help and Cooperation.
