Kabalikat Sa Kabuhayan Farmers’ Market Day at SM City Sta. Rosa
Limited market information and market access are two major obstacles to increased smallholder farmers’ income. According to studies, farmers in grassroot communities often lack access to profitable, value-added markets. In the absence of critical supporting functions, such as infrastructure and service provision — farmers struggle to transform their traditional subsistence farms into a feasible commercially oriented production.
From training KSK participants in practicing sustainable farming technologies via technology transfer and product development, SMFI, together with various SM business units, used the power of collaboration to create farm-market linkage — which intends to create a powerful driver of rural poverty reduction.The Good Guys Market is a weekend market set up in SMDC properties to connect small-scale farmers directly with consumers — condo residents.
Millions of smallholder farmers are seeking ways to improve the productivity of their farms and to improve their market performance. Modern farming technologies, paired with market linkage, such as the SM KSK, plays a vital role in improving the livelihood of small-scale farmers and their families. SM Foundation’s Kabalikat Sa Kabuhayan is SMFI’s Social Good program on sustainable agriculture that intends to uplift the lives of Filipinos in grassroot communities through sustainable agriculture via technology transfer, product development and farm-market linkage. To date, the program has trained more than 28,500 farmers from more than 900 cities/municipalities nationwide.
