“The provision of support services are coursed through the ARBOs, or the groups of farmers created and supported by the DAR. They are groups united in achieving their goals to enrich their farms and livelihood and are aware of their priorities, concerns, and needs,” Ines said.

Ines encouraged farmers to make their lands productive and to continue supporting their organization since all support services coming from the DAR will be coursed through the ARBOs.

The farmer-members expressed their gratitude to the DAR for providing them with various facilities for their farms.

The facilities were provided under the Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support Project (CRFPS) of the DAR and are geared towards building the resiliency of agrarian reform communities nationwide to enhance and sustain the agricultural productivity of farmers’ organizations. This is done by providing farm machinery and livelihood activities to uplift the lives of its members.
