MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) reported on Wednesday that 1,800 farmers have benefited from its Accelerating Livelihood and Assets Buildup (ALAB) Karbawan project.

The ALAB Karbawan project is the umbrella name for its two other programs; the Carabao-based Business Improvement Network (CBIN) and Coconut-Carabao Development Project (CCDN), which were launched and funded by the Office of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform.
