DISCUSSION OF ESTABLISHING AN AGRI-MICROFINANCE FACILITY IN ISABELA CITY

LEDIPO Chief Jamie Juanito Rivera, Agricultural Technologist Jonathan Pedillon, and CIO and concurrent GAD Focal Mendry-Ann Lim met with Mayor Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman on March 10 to discuss the establishment of an Agri-Microfinance Facility, a joint initiative between the LGU and social impact investors, Sulo Barakah Ventures.
The project aims to provide zero-interest Islamic microfinance loans to farmers, support contract farming, and ensure a stable vegetable supply through credit and consignment arrangements. Discussions also covered findings from the city’s agriculture market survey, highlighting production gaps, investment opportunities, and strategies to strengthen local food security.
