The Department of Agriculture (DA) has crafted a financial literacy program for farmers and fisherfolks to ensure an efficient budgetary management for the industry. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol has instructed the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) to develop a module that will prepare farmers and fishers in the efficient management of their finances. The financial literacy program aims to educate farmers, fishers, livestock raisers, vegetable growers and other agricultural stakeholders in organizing budgetary operations to allow them to wisely spend for their projects and earn higher income.
