Farm-Market Linkage! Avocado 3 Kilos For P100, Red Papaya P15, Saging P30

On the way home to Kidapawan City from Polomolok, South Cotabato today, I dropped by a fruit stand in Tupi town to buy fruits.
Incredible ang mga presyo!
Local na Abokado Malagkit 3 kilos for P100, ang Hass Avocado P100 per kilo, Red Solo Papaya P15 a kilo while the rare Amas variety banana P30 per kilo.
Come of think of this: Ang mga presyo na ito ay sa fruit stands na.
You can just imagine kung magkano lang ito sa farm gate.
Bakit wala ito sa Metro Manila at malalaking siyudad?
Kasi putol ang Value Chain at walang access ang mga farmers sa merkado.
Kaya kailangan talaga buhayin ang Food Terminal Inc. at ang National Food Authority to connect the farmers and other food producers to the consumers.
