As part of our efforts to promote the consumption of local
produce, fish and livestock; to support
the production of value-added products; and to create a sustainable export
industry, the University of Guam Pacific Center for Economic Initiatives “One
Village, One Product” and the UOG - Guam Small Business Development Center, in collaboration with USDA Rural Development,
NRCS, USDA Farm Services Agency, the UOG Cooperative Extension Program, and
Guam Department of Agriculture, invites all local producers to attend “From
Farm to Marketplace” Community Outreach sessions.
The outreach sessions have been re-scheduled for Monday,
March 24th, 4:00pm-7:00pm at the Dededo Senior Citizens Center; and
Monday, March 31st, 3:00pm-6:00pm at the Talofofo Youth Center.
Current and prospective producers in the agriculture and
aquaculture industries are invited to learn more about current grant, loan, and
technical assistance programs available to assist the creation and/or expansion
of agri-businesses.
