FLEA MARKET. Farmers in a hinterland barangay in Negros Oriental sell their produce at a flea market in this undated photo. To ease the plight of farmers in conflict-affected areas, an e-commerce platform will be piloted in the Dobdob, Valencia- Talalak, Sta. Catalina area in December, a trade official said Friday, September 29, 2023.
This is an initiative of the Poverty Reduction, Livelihood and Employment Cluster of the provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict , with an initial funding of PHP500,000 from the provincial government, Bato said in a meeting with cluster members. Part of the e-platform will be specific for Negros Oriental where these buyers and sellers get to meet online and engage directly with each other, she added.
Bato said they are in the process of resource mapping in Barangay Dobdob to identify the vegetables, crops, and other farm produce and the volume that would be available once the e-commerce platform is up and running.
