Agriculture Assistant Secretary and spokesman Arnel de Mesa said the department is inching closer to securing its single largest foreign-assisted project from the World Bank valued at $1 billion.
De Mesa said the multilateral lender would conduct a pre-appraisal mission for the loan that would bankroll the DA's Philippine Sustainable Agriculture Transformation Project.
The loan agreement for the project is expected to be signed by the middle of next year.
It will be under the World Bank's program-for-results financing tool, which links the disbursement of funds to the achievement of certain goals and specific results.
