CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Barangays in this capital city will be benefitted by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources when its “Seafood Kadiwa Ni Ani at Kita on Wheels” comes visiting this week.
Agriculture Secretary William Dar crafted the strategy to market agri-fishery products from the provinces to Metro Manila residents.
“But due to the enhanced community quarantine, we were advised to explore other options like Kadiwa on Wheels and Kadiwa online,” BFAR regional director Wilfredo Cruz said. “The objective is to bring agri-fishery products to communities deprived of movement due to ECQ.”
“We initially initiated the sale of bangus and tilapia but eventually the fish-farmers and fisherfolk will sell their products as long as they are compliant to ECQ guidelines and with proper coordination with local officials. And since the product are produced by our fisher-farmers, these are definitely cheaper,” Cruz explained.
The Kadiwa on Wheels and Kadiwa online made a stop on Monday in Barangays Malino and Panipuan. On Tuesday, it will be in Barangay Pulung Bulo from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and the PNP Housing-Maimpis from 1 p.m to 4 p.m.
Other barangays that will be visited include Sto. Nino and Del Carmen on April 15, and Saguin and Malpitic on April 16.
