𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄: Ceremonial Launch and Unveiling of the 17 Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Investment Portfolios (RAFIP) in Clark, Pampanga.

07/10/2026

| To promote priority investments in agriculture and fisheries and connect them with potential investors and development partners, the Department of Agriculture (DA) will gather local government officials, agriculture stakeholders, and development partners on October 7–10, 2026, for the launch of the Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Investment Portfolio (RAFIP) at Quest Hotel, Clark, Pampanga.

Dubbed “RAFIP Launch 2026: Catalyzing Priority Investments in Agriculture and Fisheries,” the four-day activity will feature the completed RAFIPs, regional investment priorities, and strategies to promote and support their implementation.

The DA has completed 17 RAFIPs to date, consolidating priority commodities, value chain constraints, and packaged investment opportunities across the regions. The portfolios identify areas where investments and interventions are needed to address gaps and strengthen agricultural value chains.

As the RAFIPs move toward implementation, the launch will give local government units, potential investors, development partners, and other stakeholders an opportunity to learn about the identified investment priorities and explore possible areas of support.

Participants include representatives from the League of Municipal Agricultural Officers and Agriculturists of the Philippines (LeMMCAP), DA operating units, bureaus, and attached agencies, IPLAN Component Heads, local government units, academe, and other stakeholders.

Sessions will focus on regional priority commodities, value chain constraints, and packaged investments. Participants will also develop communication approaches for presenting RAFIP opportunities to specific audiences and reaching potential partners.

The activity will also focus on developing a strategic communication framework and action plan for RAFIP promotion at the local and regional levels. Stakeholders will discuss possible areas of collaboration and commitments toward implementation, including a Memorandum of Agreement signing.

RAFIP advocacy will also be linked with existing institutional platforms and agriculture events, including Agrilink and agriculture summits. These platforms can help reach local government officials, potential investors, academic institutions, grantees, scholars, and other stakeholders.

A separate session will engage youth and students in discussions on the agri-food system and the role of agriculture and fisheries in sustainable development and economic growth.

The activity will conclude with a guided visit to the Agrilink exhibition, where participants can explore agricultural enterprises, technologies, products, and potential investment opportunities.

Through RAFIP, the DA presents regional investment priorities to stakeholders who can provide resources, partnerships, and support for their implementation. # # # (Julie Ace Brandon R. Barao/InfoACE NPCO)

Before a proposed enterprise can move toward implementation, its plans must not only be technically sound but also meet the requirements set for investment.

The review followed the Joint Technical Review conducted in July, where the proposed enterprise’s Business Plan was assessed for readiness and completeness, with technical recommendations provided to strengthen its production, operations, financial planning, market arrangements, and institutional preparations.

The latest review checked whether the requirements and recommendations identified during the earlier technical evaluation had been addressed, including the necessary revisions and supporting documents, as the proposal moves toward finalization.

The proposed enterprise brings together two key areas of the tilapia value chain: fingerling production and the consolidation and marketing of marketable-size tilapia. By linking production with organized marketing, the initiative seeks to strengthen the local value chain and create better opportunities for fish producers in South Cotabato.

Beyond completing technical requirements, the review also provided an opportunity to examine whether the proposal is supported by workable production systems, clear operational arrangements, viable financial plans, and realistic market opportunities.

The Compliance Review forms part of the continuing process of refining the proposal before it can proceed to the succeeding stages under the DA-PRDP.

For South Cotabato’s fish producers, the work behind the proposed enterprise goes beyond completing a Business Plan. It is part of building a more organized system for producing, consolidating, and bringing tilapia to market, with the potential to strengthen opportunities across the local value chain.

☕ The best brews begin with hardworking hands in the fields.

Before coffee reaches our cups, farmers and producers nurture the trees, harvest the cherries, and carefully process the beans. Every sip is made possible by their hard work.

This International Coffee Day, PRDP Mindanao celebrates the people behind our coffee and is proud to be part of their journey—supporting rural roads and enterprises that help them reach markets, add value to their harvests, and build better livelihoods. 🌱

What Mindanao-grown coffee do you enjoy, and where does it come from?

In Bagumbayan, Sultan Kudarat, residents are taking part in a process that gives them a more active role in monitoring a government infrastructure project in their community.

Through the Citizen’s Monitoring Team (CMT), community members help observe developments in the Sitio Kipuso–Sitio Janiuay Farm-to-Market Road (FMR), document activities on the ground, and communicate concerns that may arise during implementation.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 23 𝘁𝗼 25, 2026, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲–𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 (𝗗𝗔-𝗣𝗥𝗗𝗣) 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗥𝗣𝗖𝗢) 𝗫𝗜𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗖𝗠𝗧 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁.

The training provided participants with guidance on their responsibilities as community monitors, including project monitoring, documentation, reporting, and the communication of concerns and observations to the appropriate project personnel.

It also provided an opportunity for participants to better understand their role in project meetings and discussions and the importance of maintaining regular communication throughout the implementation of the FMR.

CMTs are organized under DA-PRDP to give residents a direct role in monitoring infrastructure projects in their communities. Their involvement allows local observations and concerns from project sites to be documented and communicated to those responsible for implementation.

The training is intended to strengthen the capacity of community members to carry out their monitoring responsibilities and support meaningful community participation in DA-PRDP infrastructure projects across the region.

For communities along the Sitio Kipuso–Sitio Janiuay FMR, the CMT provides a way for residents to take part in the project beyond being its eventual beneficiaries, giving them a role in observing how the infrastructure intended to serve their community is implemented
