NextGen Day

This week’s Kadiwa Trade Fair, organized by the Department of Agriculture in Central Luzon (DA-3), featured a variety of goods from at least 60 “agripreneurs” in Central Luzon.

The seven provinces in the region—Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and Aurora—were given the chance to showcase their agricultural products at the three-day trade fair that took place at the Marquee Mall in Angeles City and ended on Friday.

One of the agricultural business exhibitors, Angelica Castaneda, thanked the DA for helping them by holding the event.

In a news article from the DA-Region 3 (Central Luzon), she expressed her gratitude for the support of the DA by saying, “Maraming salamat sa suporta ng DA para mai-promote ang aming mga produkto.”

Products from Castaneda were on display at the trade show, including foods prepared with carabao milk.

The DA also provided Russel Quiambao of Candaba, Pampanga with the starting funding she needed to continue the egg and “balut” (fertilized duck egg) business her parents had left for her to run.

“Napakalaking bagay po, since nun nawala po ako ay ang nagtuloy sa iniwanan ng kabuhayan. It’s a major deal because I was the one who carried on the family business after my father went away, thus the Department of Agriculture’s program is in need of attention. The Department of Agriculture’s program is very beneficial, according to Quiambao.

The trade expo, which was held in April as part of the commemoration of Filipino Food Month, also attracted a number of farmers’ associations and cooperatives from the area.

The purpose of this year’s festival, which has the theme “Pagkaing Sariling Atin, Mahalin at Pagyamanin,” is to appreciate, conserve, promote, and assure the transmission of Filipino culinary traditions and treasures to future generations as well as to support various industries, farmers, and agri-communities.

It is crucial to introduce traditional foods to young people in order to preserve our cultures for future generations, according to DA-3 Regional Technical Director Arthur D. Dayrit.

He also emphasized the significance of farmers and fishermen, who provide the ingredients for traditional Filipino dishes.

“At the Department of Agriculture, we strive to support our farmers and fishermen. Our aim is for the Philippines to be food secure. Purchasing locally is one way to support our neighborhood farmers and fishermen. When we refer to Filipino food, the majority of the components are typically grown nearby. So, one way to support our farmers and fishermen is by promoting locally made food, Dayrit continued.
