00:00To expand the service, the Agriculture Department of Kadiwa Franchising will open to private operators and cooperatives.
00:08The Kadiwa will also plan to make the operating days and hours as standards.
00:13Alan Francisco will give you the details.
00:19The help of Kadiwa Stores to the public is great.
00:22You can buy cheap but high-quality goods such as rice, vegetables, and many more.
00:29To expand the service, the Agriculture Department of Kadiwa Franchising will open to private operators and cooperatives in the Malacanang Insider Program.
00:39Secretary Francisco Chulaurel Jr. said that more than 200 Kadiwa sites are operational in the country.
00:4617 of these are regular operations.
00:49The government also plans to make the operating days and hours of Kadiwa as standards.
00:54They also target to open 800 to 1,000 Kadiwa Stores in the next 4 years.
01:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said that Kadiwa Stores should be permanent.
01:07Of course, it's not that easy but we will also do Kadiwa Franchising.
01:11We will allow private sector operators or cooperatives to use the Kadiwa name in selected sites as long as they abide by the rules and guidelines or policies of DA.
01:21It's important for Kadiwa to be there and to sell at a reasonable price.
01:28The target of the Agriculture Department is to distribute the vaccine against African Swine Fever on Tuesday.
01:34At the same time, laboratories and research are working hard to make local vaccines.
01:40There is also an indemnification program for the affected livestock sector.
01:44We also have an indemnification program where we will finalize the policy for the pork.
01:50In the past, if a pig was to be slaughtered, they would only be given P5,000 regardless of the size of the pig.
01:59Now, we have made three classifications.
02:04There is a small size, a medium size, and a large size for sale or for breeders.
02:09DA's irrigation projects continue to strengthen food production in the country.
02:14He also plans solar irrigation or using energy from the sun to power water pumping or wells.
02:21But not only stand the usual irrigation.
02:24We will also do solar irrigation so that it can be implemented quickly and the hectareage can increase.
02:31So now, our recovery using old systems or drying on the streets and other places,
02:36we only get 50% of the rice from the rice fields.
02:42But if we have drying systems, we can get up to 70%.
02:46DA will also establish an agri-pohonan and pantawid program.
02:50This is a credit facility that provides low interest.
02:53This is to help farmers with easy quick loans for their needs.
02:58For the farmer to think about planting and taking care of the land to maximize production,
03:07to think about where to borrow money to buy this or that.
03:16Lastly, we cannot do the same thing over and over again.
03:22We have to do things differently, like using technology like vegetables.
03:28If there is a little greenhouse, drip irrigation.
03:32DA will also supply it to qualified beneficiaries.
