QUEZON CITY, Manila — The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) has reaffirmed its status as one of the top-performing bureaus under the Department of Agriculture (DA) after securing top rankings in the Calendar Year 2025 Banner Program Performance Evaluation held on March 2, 2026.
The recognition was earned through the Institute’s strong physical and financial performance across major commodity programs.
Based on the official performance audit, ATI ranked Top 1 in three banner programs, namely the National Organic Agriculture Program (NOAP), Rice Program, and High Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP), while securing 2nd Place in the Corn Program and 3rd in the National Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Program (NUPAP).
The results underscore ATI’s effective implementation of programs across priority commodities and its ability to meet physical targets while ensuring financial accountability.
These achievements likewise highlight the collective efforts of ATI’s 15 Regional Training Centers (RTCs) in delivering responsive and innovative extension programs that strengthened stakeholder engagement nationwide.
Moving forward, the Institute remains committed to advancing productivity, resilience, and inclusive growth in the agriculture and fisheries sector.
