Governor Alexander T. Pimentel, DOT Caraga Regional Director Ivonnie B. Dumadag, 1st District Congressional Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr., and other key provincial and municipal officials led the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

All 19 local government units (LGUs) across the province proudly participated, showcasing value-added local products such as processed agricultural goods, indigenous delicacies, artisanal crafts, and eco-tourism experiences, intentionally moving away from raw produce to spotlight innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.

The Agri-Tourism Expo reflected Surigao del Sur’s strong commitment to empowering rural communities, promoting homegrown industries, and driving inclusive local economic development. (NGPB, PIA Surigao del Sur)
