Isa itong malaking hakbang para gawing agri-industrial food hub ang CamSur. 🥬🍅🌽 From there, we joined the 1st Bicol Cacao Congress 🍫 — bringing together farmers, private sector, LGUs, and the academe to strengthen the cacao industry in Bicol. We then capped the day with a farmers’ consultation and dialogue kasama si DA Sec. Kiko Tiu Laurel. Dito, malayang nakapagtanong at nakapagbigay ng hinaing ang ating mga magsasaka — at direkta naming sinagot.
