Antonino-Custodio with City Agriculturist Merlinda Donasco and Committee Chairperson on Food & Agriculture Eduardo D. Leyson IV, HarBest Agritech Services and the Department of Agriculture, farmers who wish to continue to learn in improving their family income by cultivating high yielding vegetables were receiving technical and educational assistance nationwide.

During the Harvest Festival at Barangay Ligaya, sponsors were invited to witness the success of the farmer-trainees and in return the sponsors again encouraged the farmers to band themselves so that they can sell their products to SM Supermarket.
