The Kadiwa project started as the “Kadiwa ng Pasko” during the Christmas season but was expanded tofresh and affordable agricultural and fishery products.
Twenty sellers or partners joined the Kadiwa outlet in Camarines Sur. There are also three farmers’ cooperatives, four micro, small medium enterprises and three individual young farmers also selling their products, Malacañang said. Apart from helping Filipinos cope with the effects of high prices of goods, the project will also help local farmers, fishermen and small enterprises, which were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcos said.
The Kadiwa program allows the public to buy goods at cheaper rates by creating a direct and efficient farm-to-consumer food supply chain, eliminating intermediaries.
