Learning is said to be the key to almost everything, and this seems to be true also in farming.
Farmers who joined the Technical Cooperation Project 4 (TCP4) in Mindanao attest this. With the new farm technologies they learned in this technology transfer project, they were able to increase the productivity and profitability of their small farms.
One notable farmer who participated in this project of ARMM, PhilRice, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries-ARMM, and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is Kalim Lamug of Brar, Maguindanao.
