On 28 Feb. 2018, the Dept. of Agriculture held at its Manila
Office of the Bureau of Plant Industry a 3-day Forum on
Standardization of Produce across the country. This is an
off-shoot of the ASEAN Meetings where the countries in
this region want to eventually standardize produce to
facilitate trade. It was a serious gathering of farmers
from the different parts of the country to try to improve
production, marketing and distribution. At the Forum, STC
was seated beside the Administrator of the BPI. He expounded
on how coops can help farmers in production and
distribution and the need for a clear certifying body
for organics. He participated on the first afternoon of the
Forum.
