A training institute in Surigao del Norte has received an-almost half-a-million-peso development grant for the upgrading of its facilities.
The development grant amounting to P497,850 was provided by MASHAV, Israel’s agency for international development cooperation, to the Sogbohan Agri-Training Institute on Dinagat Islands.
MASHAV’s main objective is to help MASHAV course graduates to develop their existing ideas to a level of sustainability and maturity on an economic basis.
In SATI, the only agriculture training center in the islands, in particular, the MASHAV development grant will be used to construct a greenhouse, and will be used to upgrade SATI’s facilities and training capacity.
SATI is envisioned to be the training and production center of high-value vegetables and other agricultural products, as well as fresh water fish such as tilapia.
