Dolefil coop receives recognition from DAR

By Clarissa Delos Reyes

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) recognized the Dolefil Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Cooperative (DARBC) in Polomolok, Cotabato, as the most outstanding agrarian reform beneficiaries organization (ARBO) in the entire region of Soccsksargen.

DARBC Chairman Vincent Palma said their commitment to expand their services has more than doubled now that they have formally inked an alliance of mutual support with the Polomolok government.

Palma said through its pineapple production and other agricultural business operations, DARBC significantly improved and boosted the socioeconomic welfare of ARBs, small farm employees, and cooperative members.

“The award and acknowledgment was not the primary goal of the organization. Its main objective is to create a cooperative that would provide the most outstanding benefits to its members and the community,” he said.

“Through the years, the cooperative has become the DAR’s partner in helping the ARBs and making their lives become more progressive,” DAR-Soccsksargen Assistant Regional Director H. Roldan Ali added.

Ali stated that being recognized as the best ARBO in the region is one of the most valuable milestones for a cooperative and encouraged them to strive to become the best ARBO in the Philippines in the future.

The plaque of recognition was formally awarded to the cooperative at Club Kalsangi, Brgy. Cannery, Polomolok, South Cotabato. – gb
