NFA-Davao del Norte Branch Office receives DAR Recognition for Outstanding PAHP Project Support

June 19, 2025 – With pride and honor, the NFA-Davao del Norte Branch Office received the Plaque of Recognition from the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), a considerable achievement that reflects our dedication and effectiveness in supporting the Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (PAHP) Project. This recognition specifically highlights our initiatives in procuring palay from local Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organizations. A significant contributor to this success is the Dujali Free Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative, a Farmer Cooperative here in Davao del Norte. This Branch Office proudly secured the second-highest purchase among all National Food Authority Branch Offices for January to December 2024. 

The Plaque of Recognition was personally accepted by Acting Branch Manager Andre Bonn M. Sumalpong during a formal ceremony that took place on June 19, 2025, at the Department of Agrarian Reform Central Office. The awarding ceremony was honored by the presence of DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III. This ceremony celebrated not only the achievements of our branch but also the collaborative efforts and invaluable support of DAR’s PAHP institutional partners and numerous stakeholders dedicated to alleviating hunger and poverty.

This recognition serves as a testament to our branch's steadfast commitment to serving our local farmers, which aligns with the overarching goals of the PAHP Program. Through our continued efforts, we aim to fulfill the Agency’s mandate and contribute to the greater mission of the PAHP Program.

To God be the glory!
