The Umingan Post Harvest Development Plan for the years 2009-2018 was turned over to the Local Government Unit of Umingan last August 25, 2009. The said development plan was a collaborative project of the Local Government Unit of Umingan through the Municipal Agriculturist Office and the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension. The project was spearheaded by Dr. Rodolfo P. Estigoy (Project Leader), a resident of Umingan, together with Maria Criselda A. Ganabo (Project Staff) and Erwin S. Embuscado (Technical writer) with close coordination with the Office of the Municipal Agriculturist headed by Francisco Collado (Municipal Agriculture Officer), Engr. Edwin Calderon (Municipal Agriculturist) and the Office of the Municipal Mayor. The concept was actually hatched by Mayor Eldred P. Tumbocon, Dr. Rodolfo P. Estigoy and Mr. Diosdado M. Andaya during one of the visits of Dr. Estigoy to his hometown Umingan. The said Postharvest Development Plan will provide direction for the development of the agricultural sector within the municipality for the next ten years in order to accelerate the agricultural development for the municipality. It likewise contains formulation of measures to help ensure the delivery of basic services and provisions of adequate facilities relative to agricultural services. All in all it will provide a road map that will lead to a better Umingan.
