Regional Trainings

LSFM is set to hold the 3rd Regional Training Workshop of the Linking Small Farmers to Market project towards end of June 2009 in Cagayan de Oro City, a city in the northern part of Mindanao island, the Philippines.

This workshop will emphasize the importance of small farmers organized into commodity groups so that issues of competitiveness, economy of scale, food safety and product quality as well as regular delivery of product supply are easily addressed. Presentors from the Taiwan, Korean and the Philippines will share their experiences about their engagements with markets as a commodity-based association of farmers.

Participants will also visit the farm site of Normin Veggies, a vegetable producers association in Northern Mindanao.
