THE Department of Agriculture (DA) will host another agritrade fair in Angeles City from June 22 to 24.

The DA KADIWA ni Ani at Kita three-day Trade Fair will be at Marquee Mall and will feature small and medium enterprises and farmers from the provinces of Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales.

Farmers are expected to showcase their champion commodities, delicacies, and services proudly locally made at their most affordable prices.

“In this leg, we have tied up with the Overseas Welfare Workers Administration for the conduct of the Investment Forum whereby our OFWs are the main audience of agribusiness opportunities to be discussed by experts,” the DA said in a statement.

The program is a market system which sells major agricultural goods at reasonably low prices to help poor Filipino households. Kadiwa is loosely translated as “one idea, one thought” which is in consonance with Agriculture Secretary William Dar’s “New Thinking” for Agriculture paradigm.

The KADIWA ni Ani at Kita program aims to ensure that food commodities are made available and accessible in high consumer demand areas, particularly among the low-income families, by harnessing private sector participation, capacity enhancement of farmer cooperatives and associations, and engaging community organizations’ participation in food supply distribution system.
