Retiring Government Employee Plans to Farm
Since the last quarter of 2004, he and his wife, Vilma, have been planning to farm when they retire from being provincial government employees. And so they bought a 2.9950-hectare sugar land in Banate, Iloilo that year.
When Noli’s friend, Fred Rivero who is a fruit farmer based in Davao City, learned of the couple’s plan, he advised Noli to go into fruit farming and offered his help. To start with, he advised Noli to start acquiring and planting fruit trees such as King Mandarin oranges, pummelo, and mango so that when he retires, these fruit trees are already bearing fruits.
