It was a far cry from Samarahan before the 1990s, where roads in villages as well as roads connecting villages were of earth roads, grass roads, plank roads or concrete slab roads. At that time, its people relied heavily on water transportation along its rivers via ferry, express boats or privately owned boats to travel, to deliver agricultural produce or to fish as part of their economic activities.

While agriculture has been part and parcel of the Samarahan’s economy, the Government intends to add value to the sector by expanding it beyond the production stage into processing and marketing, be it agriculture produce or agro-based products.
