Regional Echo of Agribusiness Mentorship Series (ABMS) 

The RAISE Program in Caraga, through Project 2: Establishment of the Regional Agri-Business Hub (ABH), successfully kicked off Day 1 of the Regional Echo of the Agribusiness Mentorship Series (ABMS) via Zoom on April 7, 2025.

The virtual session was actively participated in by our Consortium Member Institutions (CMIs): Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology (ASSCAT), North Eastern Mindanao State University(NEMSU), Caraga State University – Main Campus(CSU), and Caraga State University – Cabadbaran Campus (CSUCC).

This hybrid activity aims to equip CMIs with the essential knowledge, tools, and mentorship to develop market-ready pre-commercialization reports. It focuses on strengthening their skills in enterprise planning, market assessment, feasibility analysis, and commercialization strategies—laying the groundwork for transforming emerging technologies into successful agribusiness ventures.

The series will continue with a face-to-face session on April 21–23, 2025, at Caraga State University – Main Campus, where participants will further engage in hands-on learning and deeper mentorship.

A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, speakers, and facilitators for your enthusiasm and commitment in making this activity a success. We look forward to the next leg of this meaningful journey!
