There were 20 FOs/MSMEs participated in the Araw ng Lanao on july 4, 2025, the generating sales amounting to 4,805. | 20 | Many farmers, especially those in rural and remote areas, struggle to access larger markets, both locally and nationally. This is partly due to a lack of distribution networks, inadequate transportation infrastructure, and the dominance of middlemen who take a significant share of the profits. | Successful rural development initiatives, including agro-enterprises, require active collaboration between various stakeholders—government, NGOs, local communities, and the private sector. In past events, lack of coordination has led to missed opportunities for farmers to network and form lasting business relationships. | Organize a series of planning meetings with local government units (LGUs), NGOs, cooperatives, and other partners to solidify roles and responsibilities. | July 1-4, 2025 Araw ng Lanao | DCF 7 - Trade Promotions | COMPONENT 4: INNOVATIVE FINANCING | |||||||||||||||||

Furthermore, the exercise showed that members become more engaged when they clearly understand the purpose and benefits of the diagnostic process. | The EDT process has fostered several good practices among farmer cooperatives, such as the institutionalization of regular record-keeping and financial reporting, which improves transparency and accountability within the organization. Active participation of members during diagnostic sessions has emerged as a key practice, ensuring that insights and decisions reflect the collective voice of the cooperative. Cooperatives have also adopted participatory action planning, where leaders and members jointly craft development roadmaps to strengthen ownership and commitment to implementation. Moreover, linking the diagnostic results to targeted capacity-building programs has proven effective in addressing gaps in governance, financial management, and enterprise operations.
