Eight Proponent Groups (PGs) from the Mindanao Cluster are proudly showcasing their locally produced goods at the DA-PRDP Bazaar, an exhibit highlighting the milestones and achievements of the Department of Agricultureโs Philippine Rural Development Project (DA-PRDP).
The exhibit, which runs from December 2 to December 6 at the DA Central Office in Quezon City is part of the 18th World Bank Implementation Support Mission (WB-ISM) for PRDP and the 3rd WB-ISM for the PRDP Scale-Up. It provides an opportunity for stakeholders to witness the transformative impact of the PRDP and celebrate its contributions to rural development.
World Bank Task Team Leader Mio Takada, European Union Delegation Program Manager Alix Wurdak, and DA-PRDP National Project Director Asec. U-Nichols A. Manalo visited the Mindanao Cluster booth, where they shared a cup of premium Mindanao coffee and sampled rich tablea and chocolate products.
The Mindanao Cluster PGs are presenting various high-quality products, including coffee and cacao, which reflect the regionโs agricultural potential. The bazaar allows visitors to experience the distinct flavors and exceptional quality of Mindanaoโs produce while offering a platform for the PGs to market their products and build networks.
