BUTUAN CITY — The City Government of Butuan is set to celebrate the abundance of its land and waters with the return of the Agrikultura Ka'amo Isda-anan event on August 2, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 NN at the City Hall Grounds. As a highlight of the 76th Adlaw hong Butuan, this half-day fair promises a vibrant mix of exciting competitions, fresh local produce, and free essential services for the community, showcasing the city's deep gratitude for its farmers and fisherfolk.
Excitement and Pride in Local Produce
One of the main attractions of the Agrikultura Ka'amo Isda-anan is the series of agricultural contests that celebrate the biggest and best harvests from local farmers. Attendees can witness the friendly competition for the "Pinaka Dakwa nga Kalabasa" (Biggest Squash), the "Pinaka Taas nga Talong" (Longest Eggplant), the "Pinaka Dakwa nga Bulig sa Saging" (Biggest Banana Bunch), and the "Pinaka Bug-at nga Bangus" (Heaviest Milkfish). These contests are not just about crowning a winner but are a proud showcase of the agricultural prowess and dedication of the city's farming and fishing communities.
A Marketplace of Fresh and Value-Added Products
Beyond the competitions, the event serves as a vital marketplace where residents can shop for fresh harvests and delicious value-added agricultural products. This initiative directly supports the city's hardworking farmers and fisherfolk by providing them a platform to sell their goods straight to the public. It fosters a stronger connection between the producers and the community, ensuring that the fruits of their labor are appreciated and sustained.
Free Services for the Whole Community
In a strong display of community care, the event will also offer several FREE services aimed at promoting health and sustainability. These include anti-rabies vaccination for pets, veterinary consultations, and the distribution of free vegetable seeds and seedlings. These services not only provide immediate benefits to families but also encourage self-sufficiency and responsible pet ownership, reinforcing the city's commitment to the overall well-being of its residents.
