Development Office gave inputs on Project Management.

Management: 1) Plan; 2) Process; 3) People; and 4) Power, the importance of
Vision, Mission and Goals of an organization, understanding the Project
Management Cycle, the Initiation, Planning, Execution and Closure Phase, and
the Entrepreneurial Leadership.
Maglunsod encouraged BAMPCO to
develop a Business Plan as their guide to work on their targets and goals.
The City Agriculture Office
already made a commitment to the group to provide technical assistance and
inputs like organic fertilizers and seeds to the identified organic farmer
champions.
These champions will also enter a
contract with the OTP to ensure consistent display of organic products.
BAMPCO staff and other OTP
beneficiaries were very thankful for the inputs, realizing that they still have
things to implement to sustain the project and later consider it as their
business. This will also help improve their income to support the family's
requirements.
OTP is a project of the Department
of Agriculture managed by BAMPCO. Currently, it is selling naturally grown
animal meat, fruits, vegetables, and other value-adding products like;
fermented fruit juice, fertilizers, and pesticides.
It buys the farmers’ produce from
this city and other neighboring areas at a better price.
