The National Irrigation Administration in the Davao Region (NIA-11) has once again launched the \u201cPalitAni sa Onse,\u201d an agricultural expo and trade fair for rice farmers at its regional office here on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In his speech, Engr. Dexter Sablaon, acting regional manager of NIA-11, said the two-day event aims to connect farmers directly with consumers, offering farm-fresh products at lower prices while boosting farmers’ income.<\/p>\n
Fresh produce, including rice, fruits, vegetables, meats, and poultry products, is being showcased by farmer-beneficiaries of NIA-11 from across the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to emphasize that the farmers are the main reason we have the PalitAni. You are our partners and allies in irrigation development,\u201d Sablaon said, adding that PalitAni is a marketing model supported by NIA Administrator Eduardo Guillen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this, our farmers can directly connect with consumers without going through traders and middlemen,” Sablaon added.<\/p>\n
He also committed to making “PalitAni sa Onse” a permanent program to support Kadiwa sa NIA, aiming for the region\u2019s irrigation associations to develop robust market links that can reach more consumers and households.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis way, we open up greater opportunities for greater profit margins and better livelihoods for our farmers,\u201d Sablaon said. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
