SM CITY STA. ROSA HOLDS 2ND
KABALIKAT SA KABUHAYAN GRADUATION
VEGETABLE AND FRUIT GROWERS OF BRGY. MACABLING celebrated the ending of the Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan Farmers Training Program, a three-month training program given by SM Foundation and Harbest Agribusiness, via a graduation ceremony held at the Event Center of SM City Sta. Rosa on June 23, 2010.
More than 50 local farmers were given certificates of completion by SM Foundation’s Assistant Vice President Christie Angeles and Harbest Agribusiness President Arsenio Barcelona. Also present during the event was Ronnie Rangasa, Store Manager of SM Supermarket in SM Sta. Rosa who pledged his support by providing the farmers a space inside the supermarket where they can sell their crops. The farmers, on the other hand, gave their assurance that they will be providing SM with fruits and vegetables of the best quality.
The Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan Farmers Training Program, is a project of SM Foundation whose main aim is to help local farmers produce high-quality, off-season fruits and vegetables year-round, using simple and do-able technology taught by Harbest. Part of the program trained farmers on how to grow seedlings using F1-hybrid seeds from Known-You in seedling trays with the growing medium Growell. Aside from this, farmers also learned the proper technique on how to do land preparation with basal fertilization, pruning, irrigation and fertilization; pest and diseases identification and control; proper harvesting and general farm management. The program was started late 2007 and has since supported hundreds of local farmers in areas where there is an SM Supermall.
Sta. Rosa City Head Agriculturist Engr. Eusebio Cajucom, supervising agriculturist Joselito Batitis, SM Sta. Rosa Mall Manager Dominador Caringal Jr. and SM Marketing Brand Manager Armind Cajala were likewise present during the event. Some of the vegetables which were sold and displayed during the event inlcuded the Jade Dragon hybrid amplaya, Amargozo Jade Dragon, Fond Long talong, Green Arrow yardlong sitaw, the Phoenix solo kalabasa, honey dew, siling haba, and watermelon.

The Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan Farmers Training Program ran for approximately 90 days and included seminars and actual planting and harvesting. The Program is a project of the SM Foundation Inc., in partnership with Harbest Agribusiness Corporation, the Department of Agrarian Reform, the Department of Agriculture and TechGen with support from the Local Government of Sta. Rosa.
