Hon. Darlene Magnolia Antonino-Custodio, Mayor of General Santos City and Regional Development Council chairperson, graced the event and participated in the workshop session for Region XII. She actively shared inputs on the draft plan of the DA RFU XII that will further modernize agriculture in Southern Mindanao.
During the regional workshops, Regional Executive Directors presented their respective regional draft AFMPs to stakeholders for comments and suggestions.
Recommendations focused on the following DA interventions: Infrastructure Support, Research, Development and Extension, Regulation, Policy and Planning, and Transitory Functions. Each RFU documented the generated comments and suggestions which will be used to refine their respective plans.
The series of AFMP public consultations sought to generate comments, reactions and recommendations on the draft regional AFMPs for 2011-2017. Inputs gathered from various stakeholders will be considered in revising the draft regional plans before the same will be finalized and consolidated into the national AFMP.
The draft national AFMP is scheduled to be presented to the NAF Council for comments, suggestions and recommendations in April 2012.
The area-wide public consultations in Cavite, Pampanga, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao were conducted through the partnership of the DA-Planning Service and the National Agricultural and Fishery Council in line with the Department’s aim of enabling informed and effective stakeholder participation.
