The 2019 DA-CPU Regional Organic Agrifair Seminar and Exhibits is slated on the 3rd week of November this year.
The President, His Excellency Rodrigo Roa Duterte in his 2018 souvenir program message to Central Philippine University said, “The development of the agriculture sector remains one of the administration’s priority.” This statement is one of the reasons why the Department of Agriculture Region 6 and Central Philippine University are partnering again for the 2019 DA-CPU Regional Organic Agrifair Seminar and Exhibits slated on the 3rd week of November this year.
The further strengthening of public-private partnership for nine years has yielded positive outputs pursuant to food production and agricultural development to local farmers, “Agripreneurs” and consumers.
The essence of organic agriculture in the annual Regional DA-CPU Agrifair started in 2010 at Central Philippine University and has included lecture seminars, exhibits, and cultural presentations.
This year Agrifair 2019 Chairman Joel Somosierra stated that “Local Government Units and NGOs will again participate in the program and exhibits at Central Philippine University as they have done during the previous years.”
