The Department of Agriculture’s plan to expand the Kadiwa Stores through possible franchising has earned the nod of a lawmaker in the House of Representatives.
“We are optimistic that if the Department of Agriculture opens the initiative to cooperatives or even small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs, we can expand livelihood opportunities and even create jobs across the country,” he said. “With the administration’s direction of improving food production in the country, this approach can provide an end-to-end initiative that can improve food production and sustainability and market access for goods of Filipino farmers while offering an effective mechanism to mitigate inflation,” he added.
Tiangco said the Kadiwa Program can become another pillar of the administration’s poverty alleviation program if its franchise program can be opened to small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs.
