Furthering its community engagement and support, the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture discussed with the Local Government Unit of Pili the potentials of a Farmers Bayanihan & Trading Center, on February 15, 2024, at the CBSUA Agriville and Learning Hub.
Dr. Alberto Naperi, the President of the University, and the Dr. Ramona Isabel Ramirez, VP for Research and Innovations, welcomed Hon. Thomas Bongalonta, Mayor of the Municipality of Pili, and the members of the LGU, in the site.
This undertaking is projected to facilitate farmers of the LGU in the marketing of their produces through a centralized hub. Housing this center is the CBSUA Agriville and Learning Hub, as overseen by the Director of the Technology Commercialization and Production Division, Dr. Jayson Danas.
Beyond facilitating marketing activities, the center will also offer capacity-building opportunities, equipping farmers with advanced knowledge and practices to advance their farming knowledge and practices.
Moreover, CBSUA and LGU Pili have identified opportunities to explore to improve the university’s academic tourism area. |𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯
