THE DEPARTMENT of Agrarian Reform and Mindoro State University have strengthened their collaboration to boost rural development and agriculture-related businesses with the launch of the Innovative Business Incubator for Biosystems Solutions, or i-BIBES.

The event was recently held at MinSU under the theme: “Bridging Ideas, Driving Advancement: Empowering Innovation through Collaboration, Mentorship, and Sustainable Solutions.”

This project aims to pave the way for more vibrant and sustainable development in the province.

Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Rogelio D. Madarcos expressed full support for i-BIBES.

He described it as an innovative initiative that will help farmers and Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries move beyond traditional farming methods.

“Ang i-BIBES ay sumasalamin sa aming pangarap para sa mas maliwanag na kinabukasan kung saan nagtatagpo ang teknolohiya at inobasyon — na nagtutulak ng paglago ng ekonomiya, positibong epekto sa lipunan, at pangangalaga sa kalikasan,” Madarcos said.
