SCIENCE CITY OF MUÑOZ – The Dairy Box of the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) will soon sell agri-fishery products under the Kadiwa ng Pangulo program.
PCC National Carabao-based Enterprise Development Coordinator Ma. Theresa Sawit said that this integration not only empowers dairy farmers but also uplifts producers across various agricultural sectors by connecting them to national supply and demand channels.
“The inclusion of Kadiwa ng Pangulo in the Dairy Box outlets expands market access for farmers while promoting locally sourced, nutritious products,” Sawit added.
About 48 Dairy Box outlets nationwide will be involved in the initiative.
The Dairy Box provides strategic physical spaces to PCC-assisted farmer-cooperatives and associations, serving as processing and marketing stores for their carabao-based products.
The Kadiwa ng Pangulo program, on the other hand, is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ‘s food security agenda that aims to directly connect local farmers and consumers, eliminating middlemen from the supply chain to ensure more inclusive growth in the agricultural sector.
