Butuan City –Director Leandro H. Gazmin of the DA’s Agribusiness, Marketing and Assistance Services (AMAS) in his recent visit to Butuan City urges producers to access the different services of the department particularly on agribusiness and marketing to be more competitive.
In his meeting with Mr. Mat Noos, a producer of coco sugar in Mahogany , Butuan City the young AMAS Director said he is currently eyeing products from the regions to be included in its package to strengthen the marketing thrusts of the Department of Agriculture as directed by DA Secretary Proseso J. Alcala.
In Caraga, Gasmin visited coco sugar venture in Silad, Mahogany, Butuan City and a proposed coco sugar manufacturing center in Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte as well as corn coffee manufacturing in Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur.
Both ventures are proposing for a financial support from DA-AMAS through its project support under Municipal and City Food Terminals to expand their operation and eventually emerged as one of Caragas’ pride.
“Dito sa Caraga meron kayong products about coconut na pwede nating i-enhance para magkaroon ng export quality “ (Here in Caraga you have products out from coconut that could be enhanced as export quality products), he said.
With this, he encouraged every stakeholder to keep in touch with the region’s Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD) for possible tie-ups and market linkage. Gazmin hopes that through DA-AMAD , such products could have better marketing edge and could be marketed not only within the region but outside Caraga and hopefully become an export commodity of the country.
