DA-RFO 02 | 2022 | Farmers at San Mateo, Isabela Raise Mungo - the Black Gold in the Cagayan Valley

A popular ingredient in the Filipino diet is the Mungo, a drought-tolerant crop is presented in this episode of Byaheng-Agri. The root system of this leguminous crop also restores the natural fertility of the soil as it is filled with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This crop is also adaptable to various growing conditions and is easy to grow and maintain. It is best grown shortly before the onset of the summer season, when the soil still holds substantial moisture. Thus, it is the perfect candidate to plant in San Mateo’s rice fields after the rice harvest in March, when the rice lands are left idle to dry in the scorching months of summer. By planting munggo during these dry months, the rice farmers could earn additional income as well as produce additional food for their families.
