Farmers urged to become ‘agripreneurs’

The Department of Agriculture-Region 6 is encouraging farmers to become “agripreneurs” through integrated farming and organic agricultural practices to surpass the P1 million per hectare mark in annual production.

In a three-day Agripreneurship On-farm Seminar in Negros Occidental, farmers and educators from the provinces of Iloilo and Guimaras were trained to maximize farm productivity by cutting the cost of farming inputs and venturing into organic farming.
