CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD) of the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) recently acquired a brand new Wingvan for the use of its enhanced Kadiwa ni Ani at Kita operations.
Funded under the Bayanihan Act I, the P2 million worth wingvan has a 2,500-kilogram capacity with a semi-floating type cab suspension.
Its availability will enable Kadiwa exhibitors to transport their agri-fishery products from production areas to the markets with great ease and efficiency.
Kadiwa refers to Katuwang sa Diwa at Gawa para sa Masaganang Ani at Mataas na Kita, is a marketing strategy that directly links farmer-producers to its patrons; thereby, reducing cost in the selling of their harvest and other by-products.
Gracing the blessing of the wingvan are DA Assistant Secretary for Agribusiness Marketing, Kristine Y. Evangelista; Carlene C. Collado, regional executive director; Carlota S. Madriaga, regional technical director for operations; Chedy V. Ansale, AMAD chief; and Joel S. Rudinas, consultant of DA-10. # # # (JCGamboa/DA-RFO X, RAFIS)
