The Department of Agriculture – Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Service (DA-AMAS), in collaboration with the Food Development Center (FDC), successfully conducted the 3rd Leg of the Business Development Training Course for Agriculture: From Product Development to Product Registration on September 7–11, 2026, in Tagaytay City.
The training brought together 32 start-up MSMEs and Farmers’ Cooperatives and Associations (FCAs) engaged in vegetable-based products, providing them with valuable knowledge and practical guidance on:
🏷️ Basic food labeling requirements
🏭 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
📋 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) product registration requirements and processes
📈 Product development and market readiness
Beyond learning the technical requirements, the training served as an avenue to equip and empower emerging agricultural enterprises to improve the quality, safety, and marketability of their products.
Through initiatives like this, DA-AMAS and FDC continue to support MSMEs and FCAs in transforming promising agricultural products into competitive, market-ready enterprises capable of reaching both local and international markets. 🌏
