The orientation was a significant step toward strengthening the relationship between PCIC and MAVENCO, both of whom are committed to improving the resilience of Cebu’s agriculture and livestock sectors. The program provided MAVENCO professionals with crucial knowledge about insurance coverage, ensuring they are better prepared to assist local farmers and animal producers in safeguarding their interests.
This collaboration is especially important at a time when the agricultural sector faces an increasing number of challenges, including unpredictable weather patterns and rising disease threats.
