The DAR facilitated the signing of the Trust Agreement and the certificate of turnover for the official receipt of equipment to the San Jose Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Association (SARA), the San Pascual Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organization (SPARBO), and the Brgy. Maisog Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organization (BMARBO).

The service vehicles were provided under the Sustainable Livelihood Support for Disaster Affected Areas and the Expanded Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty programs.

“This hauler will help us in transporting our products to the market, where we can sell them at a reasonable price. That is one of the many things we are grateful for. This would be a big help for agrarian reform beneficiaries like us,” said Marilyn Francisco, BMARBO officer.

BMARBO, a coconut producing organization, is also one of the organizations provided with a project under the Sustainable Livelihood Support for Disaster-Affected Areas for year 2023.

Francisco added they will also receive a startup kit that would allow them to establish a broiler production project providing additional income for their families.

3 agrarian cooperative sa CamNorte tumanggap ng motorsiklong panghakot

DAET, Camarines Norte —Tatlong agrarian reform beneficiary organizations (ARBOs) ang tumanggap ng tig-isang motorsiklong panghakot mula sa Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) dito.

Ang mga mga delivery service vehicle na nagkakahalaga ng P170,000.00 bawat isa ay gagamitin para sa paghahatid ng mga ani at produkto ng mga magsasaka sa mga pribadong mamimili at sa mga pamilihang bayan.

Sinabi ni Meralyn Bongais, Agrarian Reform Program Officer I, na sa pamamagitan ng mga service vehicle, mapapalawak ng tatlong kooperatiba ang kanilang operasyon at mapatataas ang kita ng mga miyembrong magsasaka gayundin ng organisasyon.

Isinagawa ng DAR ang paglagda sa Trust Agreement at ang certificate of turnover para sa opisyal na pagtanggap ng mga motorsiklong panghakot sa San Jose Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Association (SARA), San Pascual Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organization (SPARBO), at sa Brgy. Maisog Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organization (BMARBO).

Ang mga sasakyan ay ipinagkaloob sa ilalim ng Sustainable Livelihood Support for Disaster Affected Areas at ang Expanded Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty programs.

"Ang pagkakaroon namin ng panghakot ay malaking tulong dahil hindi na kami mahihirapan sa pagdadala ng aming mga produkto sa merkado, kung saan maaari naming ibenta ang mga ito sa makatwirang presyo. Iyan ang isa sa maraming bagay na ipinagpapasalamat namin. Napakalaking tulong nito para sa mga agrarian reform beneficiaries na katulad namin," ani Marilyn Francisco, opisyal ng BMARBO.

Ang BMARBO, isang organisasyon na ang produkto ay niyog, ay isa rin sa organisasyong pinagkalooban ng proyekto sa ilalim ng Sustainable Livelihood Support for Disaster-Affected Areas para sa taong 2023.

Idinagdag ni Francisco na makatatanggap din sila ng isang startup kit na magpapahintulot sa kanila na magtatag ng isang broiler production project na magbibigay ng karagdagang kita para sa kanilang mga pamilya.

Sinabi ni Alicia Almacin, DAR chief for support services, na ang negosyong rice trading ng SPARBO ay patuloy na pinakikinabangan ng mga magsasaka, habang ang SARA ay ganap namang kumikita sa kanilang negosyong egg production.
