MARIKINA CITY, PHILIPPINES – The lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic presented an opportunity for farmers groups/cooperatives in the Philippines to sell their produce directly to consumers.
On 3 May 2020, with the help of PAKISAMA, one of AFOSP-APFP partner organizations in the Philippines, their member organization Kababaihang Dumagat ng Sierrra Madre (K-GAT), a start-up women-led cooperative, brought four tons of various vegetables, fruits, rootcrops and other products from their members in Daraitan, Tanay, Rizal province, to the locked down consumers of Dela Costa Homes, Barangka village, Marikina City.
