Ilagan City, which produces some of the best corn yields in the Philippines, stands out as the Corn Capital of the country in the verdant plains of Isabela Province.
This designation is more than just a label; it reflects a rich history, cutting-edge agricultural practices, and a dedication to promoting regional and national food security. Ilagan City, which is also well-known for its expansive fields, supplies a significant amount of the maize used in the Philippines, which boosts the local economy and the agricultural industry overall.
Perfect for corn farming
Ilagan City is the finest place to grow corn because of its ideal soil and climatic conditions. The city's climate is ideal for growing corn since it has plenty of sunshine and just enough rainfall.
Furthermore, the large, fertile plains facilitate widespread cropping and simple irrigation, allowing local farmers to produce many cycles of maize annually. Ilagan is now a national leader in grain production thanks to this confluence of natural assets.
Thousands of farmers and other agricultural workers are employed by it, and the money made from the production of maize helps to fund a number of regional businesses. Both white and yellow corn, which are necessary for various industries, are produced in Ilagan.
Expanding corn influence
Ilagan City wants to increase its influence by investigating new domestic and foreign markets as the demand for corn keeps rising.
The city government has launched a number of initiatives to help farmers with infrastructure, finance, and technology to increase the productivity and profitability of corn cultivation.
Ilagan is striving to become a hub for agriculture for various crops and food items by forming alliances with both public and commercial sectors.
