In a parallel move to strengthen local dairy production, Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel and Ma. Theresa Sawit, National Carabao-based Enterprise Development Coordinator, signed an agreement integrating 48 Dairy Box outlets into the KADIWA network. Dairy Box is a PCC initiative supporting smallholder dairy farmers and entrepreneurs.
“The inclusion of Dairy Box outlets in KADIWA expands market access for dairy producers while promoting locally sourced, nutritious products,” Sawit said. “This partnership strengthens the link between our farmers and Filipino consumers.”
She added 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. ### (Photos by Alan Jay Jacalan, DA-AFID)
