TACLOBAN CITY — Empowering local farmers while bringing affordable agri-fishery goods directly to consumers, the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office VIII (DA-RFO VIII) opened its two-day KADIWA market at Kanhuraw Hill on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
Direct Access to Quality and Affordable Local Goods
Running from September 3 to 4, 2026, the pop-up market at the DA-RFO VIII Carpark provides a direct sales venue for regional agricultural producers:
Fresh Farm Produce: Consumers can purchase fresh vegetables, fruits, root crops, and local commodities at farmgate and budget-friendly prices.
Direct Farmer Support: By eliminating middle-man markups, the initiative ensures local farmers and fisherfolk earn higher profit margins while keeping food accessible for urban households.
Community Engagement: The public is encouraged to visit the Kanhuraw Hill venue throughout Thursday and Friday to support regional agricultural livelihoods.
Strengthening Regional Food Security
The ongoing KADIWA program continues to serve as a vital link in Eastern Visayas, stabilizing local food supplies and protecting consumers from market price fluctuations.
