On August 23, 2025, the Department of Agriculture-Bicol, in partnership with the Provincial Government of CamSur, held the Distribution of Agricultural Interventions and Ugnayan sa mga Magsasaka, an open forum between DA Secretary Tiu and the farmer-beneficiaries at Fuerte CamSur Sports Complex.

Under the Rice Farmers Financial Assistance (RFFA) program, 751 farmers received cash aid amounting to ₱7,000 each to help reduce production costs and increase farmers' agricultural yields. Additionally, various Farmers Cooperative and Associations (FCAs) received farm machinery as part of DA's agricultural intervention programs for Corn, PhilMech, and Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA).

During the Ugnayan sa Magsasaka, DA Secretary personally addressed issues and concerns raised by the farmer-beneficiaries. Prior to this, Secretary Tiu, along with Governor Lray Villafuerte, visited the ongoing construction of a ₱500-million Mega Cold Storage Facility in San Jose, Pili, which aims to enhance food security, preserve farmers' harvests, and boost productivity.
