Story (from MAO-Loon Source):
The Cargill RISE COCO Project, in collaboration with the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO), successfully conducted a Vegetable Production and Management, and Concoction Fertilizer Demonstration Training for local farmers:
* March 10, 2025 – Cantaongon Farmers’ Association
* March 11, 2025 – Candaigan Farmers’ Association
Facilitated by HVCDP Program Coordinator Cathyryn Lugo, Organic Agriculture Focal Person Marilyn Piamonte, and MAO staff John Philip Carnice, the training equipped farmers with essential knowledge on vegetable production and the preparation of Concoction Fertilizer, an organic and cost-effective alternative to improve soil fertility and crop yield.
This initiative provided farmers with an additional source of income beyond coconut farming, promoting sustainability and livelihood diversification.
