Intomaโs venture, Farm Fresh Eggs from Davao Occidental, soared above fierce competition, securing him an additional โฑ150,000 grant and a coveted spot in the upcoming national finals. Organized by the Department of Agriculture and its Regional Program Management Team XI, YFC celebrates dynamic youth who meld innovation and passion into agribusiness success stories. Venedictโs steady ascentโfrom his earlier triumph as a Provincial Awardee, where he earned an โฑ80,000 grant, to his recent regional winโreflects the DAโs vision of cultivating a new generation of agricultural trailblazers.
The Young Farmers Challenge, lauded for empowering youth in agripreneurship through its multi-tiered grants program, continues to uncover luminaries like Intoma, whose business model impressed an esteemed panel of judges for its clarity, sustainability, and market readiness. โOur young agripreneurs are the architects of a more vibrant, self-reliant Philippine agriculture,โ emphasized DA officials. As Venedict advances to the national competition, he not only carries the aspirations of the Davao Region but also inspires countless young dreamers to reimagine farming as a path of prosperity and purpose. His journey, “rooted in grit, nurtured by community, and now poised for national recognition,” embodies the very spirit of the Young Farmers Challenge: sowing seeds of innovation for a flourishing tomorrow.
