The Chinese embassy has donated a P2 million worth of greenhouse facility in Guiuan town, Eastern Samar, which was formally opened on Saturday, November 4.
Zheny Junlyn, representing the Chinese embassy, said that they hope that the greenhouse project donated by their government could help the local vegetable farmers increase their income, aside from learning new technology.
“We hope that our humble donation will contribute to the growth of low-land vegetables and other economic crops and contribute to the income and economic condition of the people here,” she said in her message during the inauguration of the facility located at the town’s eco-waste management center and park in Barangay Santo Niño of the town. It was learned that the construction of the greenhouse project in Guiuan was made possible through the help of 4Ps party-list congressman Marcelino Libanan, a former congressman of the province.
The three units of the greenhouse use a solar hydroponic system wherein vegetables grow even without the use of soil but with the help of the solar supply. The structures, measuring 42 square meters each, are also equipped with automated drip and microsprinkler irrigation systems.
