BLMC receives their P2-M check for emerging as the champion of DA and ATI’s CCMEA.

 

EL SALVADOR CITY, MISAMIS ORIENTAL – The Bliss Lingion Multipurpose Cooperative (BLMC) is seen to escalate their operations and augment farmers’ income, as they have received a P2-million in check on January 11, for emerging as the champion in the Agricultural Training Institute and the Department of Agriculture’s 2023 Cassava Cluster Management Excellence Award.

As the 29-year old organization based in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon continues to primarily engage in cassava production with sealed marketing agreements with established feed millers and other market outlets, Bliss targets to procure a hauling truck using the monetary prize to reduce postharvest losses and transportation costs as well as hasten their deliveries and enable them to meet any required volume in time.

BLMC has garnered the top prize for said award, as they have contributed to the furtherance of the cassava industry in the country, with emphasis on being involved and supportive of DA’s implementation of various programs, projects and interventions that overall help uplift the lives of its coop members.# (JLO)
