Apart from helping Filipinos cope with the effects of high prices of commodities, the Kadiwa project also aimed to help local farmers, fishermen, and small enterprises, Marcos said.
The Kadiwa program allows the public to buy goods at cheaper rates by creating a direct and efficient farm-to-consumer food supply chain, eliminating intermediaries. To date, Marcos said, more than 500 Kadiwa stores were already launched nationwide. He then revealed that the Department of Labor and Employment is also eyeing a “Kadiwa para sa Manggagawa .”
“Ito na ang aming sagot doon sa nagiging krisis dito sa ating pagkain sa ating pagtaas ng presyo,” he said. According to Malacañang, at least 50 exhibitors are participating in the two-day Kadiwa caravan in Cebu City where consumers can buy rice for as low as P25 per kilo and onion at P190 per kilo.
