Over P2.59 million worth of onions were sold by local farmers’ cooperatives and associations in the last five months without going through market “middle men,” Malacañang reported on Thursday.
The said onions, which were sold from September 2022 to January 24, 2023, were composed of 3,478 kilograms of red onions worth P755,455 and 5,106.38 kilograms of white onions worth P1.833 million, the PCO said in a statement.The farmers were also trained in farm clustering and consolidation, wherein they were oriented in market-driven production so they could sell their goods at a higher volume.
DA said the model “eliminates as many marketing layers, allowing producers to earn bigger from directly selling their produce instead of using trader-intermediaries.”
