The Rural-Urban Market Link (RUML) team organized an orientation on farm production and planning for suppliers to Buklod Agrarian Reform Community Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BBARC-MPC) at Buenavista, Quezon Province, on 25 January 2024. BBARC-MPC is a 2,200-member cooperative under NATCCO and is engaged in planting lowland vegetables. The insightful gathering was attended by 18 participants, 13 women and five men, who explored important topics regarding planting and harvesting season, farmgate prices, and buying price preferences with existing buyers. The discussion served as a valuable platform of crucial information to create mechanisms to benefit farmers further with their produce.
RUML and BBARC-MPC are committed to advancing the partnership with plans of collaboration and follow-up meetings soon. Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards empowering our farming communities.
