Farmers who finished training would receive tools and equipment for starting farming such as vegetable seeds, fertilizers, fencing nets, tools or mushroom spawn for mushroom cultivation for food.
Animals like chicken, duckling, fish, etc., were given by COERR to the qualified farmers in order to start integrated farming. Beansprout making were held, in which the products were distributed to the vulnerable who were in need of food, i.e., elderly, handicapped.
