                    [Title] => 5-M ha set aside for upland farming
                    [Summary] => President Arroyo approved recently a proposal to release five million hectares for upland farming by upland dwellers and other interested investors. These include denuded public lands of the forest domain and watersheds for tree planting. 


A possible crop for upland farming is cashew which is a multibillion dollar export crop. Australia alone imports $400 million worth of cashew a year. Mango and mangosteen are also both export winners that could easily grow in the uplands even by absentee farmers.

Coffee is now also short of supply in the domestic market.
