The Agricultural Training Institute invites the private sector and state universities and colleges to submit a proposal for the Young Filipino Farm Leaders Training Program in Japan (YFFLTPJ) Tracer Study. 

The YFFLTPJ aims to develop deserving young Filipino farmers to become farmer leaders and agricultural entrepreneurs. Specifically, it seeks to a) provide technical knowledge and skills in agricultural and cooperative management, b) provide modern Japanese farming techniques and marketing strategies, c) offer opportunities for an exchange of agricultural information of mutual interest among participants, and d) provide opportunity for Filipino farmers to imbibe Japanese culture and work values. 

ATI, being the implementer of the Program, wants to keep track of the status and performance of YFFLTPJ graduates as well as to determine whether or not the program has a significant effect in the individual, in the institution, or in the country. The study will cover the 592 YFFLTPJ graduates nationwide from 1986 to 2019 and must be implemented over a seven-month timeframe. Sampling method is expected.

This call for proposals is intended for market study purposes to determine the appropriate mode of procurement according to Republic Act 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act.
