The Taiwan Technical Mission is setting up a demonstration farm in Tarlac to accelerate the clustering and integration of local agricultural industries based on Taiwanese agriculture best practices.
It strengthens the target clusters' resource integration, disaster-risk reduction and resilience systems, while increasing the efficiency of public-sector agricultural promotion and the participation of young farmers.
Through the diversified guidance of farmers' groups, this project will help Filipino farmers to integrate supporting industrial resources (such as facilities, equipment and seedlings), strengthen financial analysis and organization management, and sell their products to nearby urban markets through the existing mechanism.
Given the mature cultivation technology and variety of high-value crops in Taiwan, the project is intended to focus on seasonal vegetables and fruits, pragmatically guiding the robust development of agricultural clusters and increasing the income of beneficiary farmers in each target cluster by the end of the project.
