TWG Municipal Agriculturist Gemma Cania is grateful towards Barangay Lunocan and the farmers' organization Lunocan Agrarian Reform  Beneficiaries Primary Multipurpose Cooperative or LARBPMC. According to Cania, the FMR project was proposed to access farm produce from the abovementioned places easily.

The PRDP-DA will fund millions for the said project. 80% of the fund will come from the World Bank, 10% from the DA, and the other 10% will be the counterpart of the LGU Manolo Fortich.
