Six youth-led agribusiness projects each received ₱50,000 in startup grants during the business pitch competition that capped the three-day Youth Entrepreneurship Program – Be Your Own Boss (YEP-BYOB) on September 3 at the Cagayan Provincial Farm School and Agri-Tourism Center in Amulung, Cagayan.

The training equipped young farmers and leaders with practical entrepreneurial skills through sessions on business idea generation, market research, digital marketing, and financial planning, helping them turn agricultural ideas into viable enterprises.

The proposals were evaluated based on innovation, financial feasibility, sustainability, and community impact by Ma. Belen Lim, CPA, MBA, General Manager and Owner of Golden Press; Dr. Archimedes A. Articulo, Executive Assistant of the Governor and Cagayan Vision Team Member; and Atty. Robin James Gunnacao, President and CEO of the Cooperative Bank of Cagayan.

The six winning 4-H Clubs in the business pitch competition were the Iguig 4-H Club for “Vegie Burger”, Sta. Ana 4-H Club for “Vegie Sea Crackers”, Sambayanan 4-H Club for “Banana, Kamote, Taro Chips Processing”, Solana 4-H Club for “Integrated Farming”, Tuao 4-H Club for “Native Chicken and Egg Production”, and Sto. Niño 4-H Club for “Free Range Chicken” production.

Complementing the awards, the other six participating 4-H Clubs received ₱10,000 each in seed support, highlighting the Provincial Government’s inclusive support for youth entrepreneurship. On behalf of DTI R2 Cagayan Provincial Director Mary Ann Dy, Business Development Division Chief Cynthia C. Talattad commended the participants for their creativity and perseverance, reaffirming the shared commitment of DTI and PGC to support their transition from training to actual business ventures.

Dr. Articulo, meanwhile, conveyed the gratitude of Governor Edgar B. Aglipay and the Provincial Government of Cagayan to the participants, municipal coordinators, and organizers. He emphasized that the grants represent an investment in the youth, empowering them to build confidence, pursue sustainable enterprises, and contribute to the growth of their local communities.

The YEP-BYOB culmination thus marked not only the completion of the training, but also the beginning of their journey from aspiring entrepreneurs to emerging agribusiness owners.
