The Philippine Rubber Research Institute (PRRI) proudly served as a resource speaker for a comprehensive training program focused on Nursery Establishment and Management from September 24-27, 2024, in Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur. This initiative aimed to empower local rubber farmers with essential skills and knowledge to enhance their agricultural practices. The training was facilitated by Dr. Girlie Slaudo, along with Engr. Evangeline Garcia, Mr. Nerio Alap-ap, and Mr. Mark Sozem D. Suello.
Participants from Barangay Depore engaged actively in the training, which covered various aspects of nursery management, including best practices for seedling production, care, and maintenance. Upon successfully completing the two-day program, 29 participants received Certificates of Participation for the “Capacity Development Program for Rubber Farmers’ Associations and Cooperatives.”
This training, conducted in collaboration with Sidlak Demo Farm Inc., marks a significant step in building the capacity of rubber farmers in the region. By equipping them with practical skills, PRRI aims to improve productivity and sustainability in rubber farming.
