TARLAC CITY, Tarlac — Patuloy na lumalakas ang industrial development sa Tarlac City matapos iulat na karamihan sa mga lote ng 32-hectare Cresendo Industrial Park ay leased na sa mga kumpanyang nasa manufacturing, logistics at distribution sectors.
A total of 100 singkamas farmers from Moncada and Pura participated in Philippine Good Agricultural Practices training conducted by the Department of Agriculture Central Luzon to improve farming standards, food safety and market opportunities.
BCDA and the Provincial Government of Tarlac brought together government leaders, businesses, academe, civil society and other stakeholders to discuss the proposed Clark Advanced Manufacturing Park in New Clark City, including jobs, investment, land use, environmental safeguards and community concerns.
The proposed 1,620 hectare Pax Silica development in New Clark City could bring major technology investment and thousands of high quality jobs to Tarlac. But questions remain over its potential impact on farmers, Indigenous communities, water, energy and the environment. DA is still assessing agricultural impacts, while DENR says no project specific environmental impact assessment has yet been processed.
