PAGADIAN
CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (February 12, 2017) -- A Farmer's Market was launched on
Sunday to provide farmers the venue to offer their products for sale.
The
Farmer's Market is a joint project of the city and provincial governments in
coordination with the Women Empowerment Movement-Rural Improvement Club
(WEM-RIC).
City
Press Bureau Officer Leah Agonoy on Sunday told the Philippines News Agency
that the Farmer's Market, which is located at the City Plaza, will be opened
every Sunday from 5 a.m. to 12 noon.
Agonoy
said the Farmer's Market will showcase organic agricultural products not only
of farmers from this city but to include those of the nearby municipalities of
this province.
Agonoy
urged residents of the province to patronize the products of the farmers, which
are also sold at cheaper prices.
She
said the launching of the Farmer's Market was conceptualized by Therence
Pulmones, local WEM-RIC president, and Dumalinao municipal Mayor Sweet
Cerilles, WEM-RIC provincial federation president, aimed to promote organic
farming. (PNA)
