« on: May 29, 2020, 01:43:27 AM »
BACOLOD CITY -- Thirty agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs), who are members of the Mulawin Lanatan Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Barangay Poblacion in Sagay City, Negros Occidental, have completed the Farm Business School (FBS) program.

They received their certificates of completion in rites held at the said barangay on Tuesday.

The FBS is an initiative of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in collaboration with the City of Sagay in northern Negros.

FBS, which aims at enhancing the entrepreneurial and marketing skills of farmers which will enable them to run a profitable agribusiness, is an on-site entrepreneurial training and education that aims to capacitate farmers on farm technology and agribusiness.

Recipient-ARBs went through 25 sessions which started on June 19 this year.

During these sessions, the group cultivated crops like eggplant, pepper and squash which are up for harvest this month.

“Through applied ‘learning by doing’ approach, these farmer-beneficiaries persevered and finally reaped the fruits of their labor," the DAR said.

On November 23, 106 ARBs in southern portion of Negros Occidental also graduated from the FBS program.

The farmer-recipients, who are members of three ARB organizations in Hinigaran, Pontevedra and Sipalay City, also completed 25 sessions.

Those who graduated include 31 ARBs under the General Malvar Agrarian Reform Cooperative and Kauswagan Agrarian Reform Cooperative in Barangay General Malvar, Pontevedra; 35 ARBs from Bagong Silang Farmers Association in Barangay Tuguis, Hinigaran; and 40 ARBs from Manlucahoc Agrarian Reform Cooperative in Barangay Manlucahoc, Sipalay City.

Through the four-month program, agrarian farmers were trained on market survey, accounting, farm budget planning, benchmarking, and market forum and matching. (PNA) NOVEMBER 2017
