The Paramount Human Resource Multi-Purpose Cooperative (PHRMPC) continues to strengthen its commitment to community development through Growing Together: Cacao and High-Value Crop Farming, a meaningful initiative focused on knowledge-sharing and sustainable agriculture.

A successful cacao farming session was recently conducted at San Buena Farm in Barotac Viejo, Iloilo, where participants gained valuable insights into proper cacao planting, farm preparation, and sustainable farming practices. The activity served as a platform for learning, collaboration, and capacity-building among farmers and community members who are eager to improve their agricultural practices and productivity.

The session emphasized the importance of adopting efficient and sustainable methods in cultivating high-value crops, ensuring long-term benefits for both farmers and the environment. Through initiatives like this, PHRMPC aims to equip communities with the knowledge and tools needed to create stable and resilient sources of livelihood.

More than a learning site, San Buena Farm stands as a symbol of purpose-driven agriculture. It is home to the hardworking Ati people of Iloilo, whose dedication and commitment bring fresh, quality produce to local markets and nearby supermarkets. Their efforts reflect not only skill and perseverance, but also a deep connection to the land and their community.

Beyond providing livelihood opportunities, San Buena Farm supports its farmers through various initiatives, including scholarships, benefits, and continuous assistance. These efforts empower indigenous families, helping create pathways toward a more secure and sustainable future.

Growing Together highlights a shared vision of progress, one where knowledge is planted, opportunities are nurtured, and growth is experienced collectively. It is a testament to how agriculture, when guided by collaboration and compassion, can uplift communities and inspire lasting change

Through this initiative, PHRMPC remains committed to its mission of building stronger communities, supporting farmers, and promoting sustainable practices, proving that when people grow together, every harvest becomes a story of hope, resilience, and shared success.
