The ATI-RTC XII participated in the Site Working Group Meeting for the Agro-Enterprise Clustering Approach (AECA) at Agua Frio Garden Resort, Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Koronadal City last February 18, 2025.
Attended by ATI-RTC XII OIC - Assistant Center Director Hannadi S. Guiamad-Pompong and Media Production Specialist II, Marnil B. Del Monte, the meeting focused on the implementation of the AECA to the chosen FCA in Midsayap, as well as roles and responsibilities of the partner agencies and institutions through a discussion of the Memorandum of Understanding.
Led by the DA-RFO XII F2C2 Program, AECA is a sequence of steps that a lead or support institution uses as a guide as farmers go through group learning and action farming as a business and in collective marketing. It also seeks to guide cooperative associations in the country in the clustering and collective marketing of their agri-fishery products.
