City Councilor Arturo P. Gado, Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries, Agro-Forestry, and Animal Welfare, joined agricultural stakeholders, leaders of Farmer Cooperatives and Associations (FCAs), and development partners at the Rural-Based Organizations (RBO) Convention 2026 on October 29 at the Office of the City Mayor (OCM) Conference Room, City Hall.

The convention gathered representatives from the agriculture sector to discuss the role of rural-based organizations in supporting farmers, strengthening their organizations, and advancing agricultural development.

Also present were Engr. Pierre Anthony Joven, Department Head of the City Agriculture and Veterinary Department (CAVD), Mr. Christopher Lindo, Chairperson of the Department of Agriculture–Regional Agricultural and Fisheries Council (DA-RAFC), Engr. Antonio Cabrera, Chairperson of the Highly Urbanized and City Agricultural and Fishery Council (HUCAFC), and Mr. Edwin Alwag, President of P4MP.

Representing City Mayor Atty. Lawrence Lemuel H. Fortun, Councilor Gado delivered a message emphasizing the role of agriculture in sustaining livelihoods and creating opportunities for rural communities. He also stressed the need to strengthen partnerships and empower farmer organizations to support the growth and development of the agricultural sector.

Among the key presentations during the convention was the introduction of the Agri Coop App Enterprise Resource Planner, a digital tool designed to help FCAs manage financial transactions, monitor resources, and promote transparency in their operations. The gathering also presented the results of soil characterization and crop suitability analysis, providing farmers with information on which crops are best suited to their land.

Farmer Cooperatives and Associations were likewise recognized for their leadership, organizational management, and contributions to local agricultural development.

The convention served as a platform for farmer organizations, government agencies, and development partners to exchange ideas, discuss common concerns, and strengthen coordination in addressing the needs of the agricultural sector. It also emphasized the role of organized farmer groups in giving farmers a stronger voice, improving access to support and opportunities, and encouraging collective efforts toward sustainable rural development.
