FILIPINO farmers typically struggle with low income and limited market access, but things may hopefully turn for the better soon with the Kadiwa ng Pangulo (KNP) program, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA).
Launched to support local farmers and foster sustainable agricultural practices, the goal of the KNP program is to, hopefully, bridge the gap between producers and consumers and revolutionize the agricultural supply chain.
During the 6th Highland Agriculture Industry Week program in La Trinidad, Benguet on July 10, 2024, Department of Agriculture (DA) Assistant Secretary for Consumer Affairs Genevieve Velicaria-Guevarra says the DA aims to have more Kadiwa stores in all provinces of the country in the coming months.
