THE government is still looking to set up 'permanent' Kadiwa stores in every city and municipality in the country and wants these to be managed by farmers cooperatives, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said Tuesday.

Speaking at a post-State of the Nation Address briefing on Tuesday, Laurel said that they were planning to turn Kadiwa into 'brick-and-mortar' stores with 1,500 to be built over the next three years.
