𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝟏𝟑𝟔,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐇𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐎𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃

𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐀 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘, 𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐍 (𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟐𝟔, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔) — The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has irrigated more than 136,000 hectares of farmland across the Ilocos region, strengthening agricultural production as the government pushes to improve food security and rice self-sufficiency.

Data from NIA Region 1 showed that 136,341 hectares are currently covered by irrigation systems in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union and Pangasinan. Pangasinan posted the largest irrigated area at 78,564.58 hectares, followed by Ilocos Norte with 28,236.10 hectares, Ilocos Sur with 18,226.10 hectares and La Union with 11,314 hectares.

NIA Regional Manager Engr. Geffrey Catulin said the accomplishment represents 53.44 percent of the region’s total irrigation potential of 255,127.82 hectares. He noted that while significant progress has been made, the agency continues to work toward expanding irrigation services to thousands of additional hectares of agricultural land across the region.

The official said sustained government investments in irrigation infrastructure, including the rehabilitation, upgrading and modernization of existing facilities, have improved water delivery and expanded coverage to farming communities. The irrigated areas are served by national and communal irrigation systems that support rice production and other agricultural activities.

Catulin emphasized that reliable irrigation has become increasingly important as farmers face climate-related risks, including prolonged dry spells and erratic rainfall. He said expanding irrigation coverage remains a key strategy in increasing farm productivity, boosting rural incomes and ensuring a stable food supply in one of Northern Luzon’s major agricultural regions.
