Tandag City, Surigao del Sur  - The Provincial  Government of Surigao del Sur through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAG) in partnership with the Department of Agriculture-Caraga expanded its drive to promote vegetable production from Peoples Organization to Army and the Police camps through the "Gulayan sa Kampo" program.

Some 24 policemen and women from Philippine National Police of Surigao del Sur Provincial Office underwent a whole-day training on vegetable production conducted by OPAG-High Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP)  personnel.
