SAFA proudly presented their high-quality agricultural products, including 100% pure Citronella Essential Oil and Mana Cinnamon Quill, which are harvested from their cinnamon plants. With the support of tourism officers from the Boljoon Local Government Unit, SAFA expressed gratitude for the opportunity to exhibit their diverse agri-products and to promote their association to the wider Cebuano community.
Through events like R’Cebu, SAFA continues to strengthen its presence in the province, helping boost the livelihood of its members and the local economy.
