Risk management information was provided in the form of 7 record keepings, 2 marketing workshops, one-on-one assistance and 3 resource fairs. Workshops covered record keeping, business planning and marketing and reached 81 participants. Three (3)resource fairs were held with a combined attendance of 286 participants. Participants of both workshops and resource fairs were introduced to agriculture agencies and organizations, which offered opportunities to diversify or improve their operations. After the completion of the workshops, 34 participants have improved risk management activities, which they use to make sound business decisions and 2 participants have developed a business plan.
