COTABATO CITY - The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform Committee continue to deliberate on the proposed measure that would establish the Bangsamoro Agriculture and Fisheries Training Institute.
Under BTA Bill No.
39, the Bangsamoro Agriculture and Fisheries Training Institute (BAFTI) will
lead the formulation of the regional agriculture and fisheries extension agenda
and budget.
It will prioritize
research on modern agriculture and fisheries trends.
CAFAR Chair Matarul
Estino said that representatives from important stakeholders will be invited to
further discuss the proposed legislation in order to prevent duplication and
save government funds.
Meanwhile, the
Department of Agriculture will be consulted to discuss the possibility of
Al-Amanah Islamic Bank serving as a partner lending conduit for the
Agricultural Credit Policy Council to make interest-free loans available to
BARMM cooperatives and social enterprises. (LTAIS-Public Information,
