ATI-RTC XII, under the leadership of National Director Engr. Remelyn R. Recoter, joined forces with ATI-RTC X, XI, and XIII to demonstrate their dedication to sustainable agriculture and rural development. This effort was showcased during the 2nd Agri-Finance Market Fair hosted by the GIZ Cacao+ Project, held at Dusit Thani in Davao City. The GIZ Cacao+ Project, a collaboration between Kennemer Foods International and the German government through GIZ GmbH, has significantly empowered smallholder farmers by enhancing their access to financial resources and capacity-building opportunities.

Representing ATI-RTC XII, OIC-Center Director Shirley L. Beldia joined ATI Center Directors from across Mindanao to celebrate the event’s theme of collaborative success. The fair featured various cacao products, agri-finance innovations, and valuable industry information, spotlighting the importance of partnerships in the agricultural sector.

This event provided a platform for ATI-RTC centers to connect with stakeholders, fostering essential partnerships to drive sustainable agriculture and support rural communities. The collaboration underscores ATI's ongoing commitment to empowering farmers and advancing agricultural resilience through innovative, community-centered approaches.
