CARRASCAL, Surigao del Sur – Marajaw Agro Farm has been formally accredited as a Learning Site for Agriculture (LSA) after receiving its LSA I Certificate on September 9, 2025. The farm is owned by CTP Construction and Mining Corp. (CTPCMC) in Barangay Adlay.

The ceremony was attended by CTPCMC CEO and President Atty. Ross Joseph J. Romanillos, MEPEO Manager Ms. Yones Rae A. Lumba, and Municipal Agriculturist Japhet C. Sugian, who expressed strong support for the initiative. Representing ATI Caraga, Mr. Matt Janfour B. Cabahug presented the certificate and emphasized the objectives of establishing Learning Sites for Agriculture across the region.

Learning Sites for Agriculture are private farms accredited to provide hands-on training for farmers, students, and community members. They aim to promote climate-smart and sustainable farming technologies, encourage agripreneurship, and strengthen collaboration among ATI, local government units, and farmer organizations. In this capacity, Marajaw Agro Farm will demonstrate best practices in crop and livestock production, farm diversification, and resource management.

The farm features advanced technologies such as composting and nursery establishment. As a diversified farm, it actively supports the High-Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP) and livestock production, providing a practical and replicable model for sustainable agriculture that local farmers can adopt.
