In a remarkable fusion of agriculture and mining, the Umahan sa Minahan project of Taganito Mining Corporation (TMC) showcases a surprising truth: watermelons grown in highly mineralized areas are not only viable but exceptionally sweet.
This phenomenon highlights the resilience of nature, proving that even in mined-out landscapes, delicious fruits can flourish.
As the only Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) Accredited Learning Site for Agriculture within a mining context in the municipality, this initiative stands as a testament to innovative farming practices.
The sweetness of these watermelons is a celebration of the land's potential, challenging perceptions about agriculture in mining regions.
