The Department of Agriculture will pour more investments to agriculture as part of the national government’s support to local farmers and fishermen.
During a visit to the Sentrong Pamilihan ng mga Produktong Agrikultural in Sariaya, Quezon, Agriculture Secretary Francisco “Kiko” Tiu Laurel Jr. stressed the importance of extending support to farmers from production to marketing and enhancing the capabilities of the country’s trading posts.
The agri chief said farming will be more sustainable if there are enough facilities that allow farmers to directly market their produce.
The Sentrong Pamilihan, established in 2007, has served as the main trading area for vegetables and other agricultural products, not only in Sariaya but nearby production sites as well.
