Some 18 representatives of four Farmer Cooperatives and Associations (FCAs) were granted coffee seedlings, cacao seedlings, and plastic drums during the Ceremonial Distribution of Coffee Seedlings, Cacao Seedlings and Plastic Drums at DA-PREC Sta. Barbara on January 24, 2025.

This activity was led by the High Value Crops Development Program. Mr. David Rondal, focal person of the Community-Based Coffee and Cacao Enterprise Development Project (C3EDP), also instructed farmers about the best practices in taking care of said seedlings.

This is first of many distributions to come for farmer associations and cooperatives as the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office – One is committed in helping farmers reach their full potential.
