SORSOGON – after the series of trainings related to the Agrarian Production Credit Program (APCP) under the Capacity Development Program of DAR-LBP, the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries’ Organizations (ARBOs) have had a Learning Expedition. Although the activity was made only within the province of Sorsogon, the ARBOs appreciated it because they were able to see the different products and services of other ARBOs.

The ARBOs they visited were the Salvacion Farmers’ Development Cooperative (SAFADECO) in Sorsogon City which has a Consumer’s Store, Copra Trading, and microfinance services; the Capuy-Basud Multi-purpose Cooperative (CABAMUCO); and the Sorsogon Agro-Aquatic Development Cooperative (SAADECO) located also in Sorsogon City and both are devoted to rice milling and rice trading; the Castilla Development Cooperative (CADECO)  is a producer of Geonet, Geotextiles, and ropes. Lastly, they went to Bigkis can mga Paraoma sa Bulan, the first successful recipient of APCP. Their business is palay production and rental of Common Service Facilities from the ARCCESS program. ###
