The event, organized by the Central Visayas Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (CVAARRDEC), showcased research-based technologies, innovations, and products in the Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources (AANR) sector.

value-adding and recycling

• Explored opportunities for partnerships and market linkage

Notably, the Federation generated total sales of ₱17,560 during the three-day exhibit. A significant outcome of the activity was the establishment of a market linkage with a buyer from Panglao Island for Palayamanan products, particularly turmeric and ginger powder variants, opening new opportunities for expanded market access.

The participation of the Palayamanan farmers highlighted their strong commitment to promoting integrated, diversified, and science-based farming systems for sustainable agricultural development in Bohol.
