To entice and encourage more young Filipino farmers into agriculture, the Agricultural Training Institute in partnership between Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office of the Philippines (TECO) launched the Filipino Young Farmers Internship Program in Taiwan.

The program is an 11-month subsidized internship program in Taiwan for qualified young Filipino farmers which consists of acquisition of skills and knowledge through exchange of modern agricultural and fisheries techniques, marketing strategies and mechanisms, cooperative management and enhancement of competencies, discipline and values.

As to MiMaRoPa region, there will be three (3) slots allotted for young farmers in the region who are interested to apply and meet the basic qualifications.
