The Department of Agriculture (DA) \u2014 as a member of the economic development cluster (EDC) of the Cabinet of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte \u2014 strongly supports the five-point economic measures proposed by Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary and EDC chair Carlos G. Dominguez III to revive the Philippine economy, after surmounting the Covid-19 crisis in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur role at the DA is highlighted as two of the five measures involve food production and logistics,\u201d said Agriculture Secretary William Dar.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecretary Dominguez said the manufacture of products that have strong and inelastic demand such as food should be increased, and fresh food items should be stored efficiently so these would last,\u201d the DA chief added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe truly appreciate the endorsement of Secretary Dominguez, recognizing our initiatives to increase the production of adequate and nutritious food in a cost-efficient manner, and the establishment of needed postharvest and storage facilities, and logistics systems,\u201d Secretary Dar said.<\/p>\n
Secretary Dominguez made the proposal at a May 11 meeting with President Duterte and members of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the management of emerging infectious diseases in Malacanang.<\/p>\n
He added that \u201cwe should support the whole value chain for food products, including food markets for efficient distribution, similar to fruit and vegetable markets established many years ago in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thus, the government should take the lead in stimulating consumer demand to help businesses survive and keep the economy afloat, as President Duterte\u2019s economic team and legislators finalize the economic recovery program, the DOF chief said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we have to stimulate demand, and that\u2019s with \u2018Build, Build, Build\u2019 and push food production,\u201d added Secretary Dominguez, who previously served as agriculture chief during the Corazon Aquino administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe at the entire DA family will passionately take on the challenge that similar to the \u2018Build, Build, Build\u2019 initiative we will do our counterpart \u2018Plant, Plant, Plant\u2019 program to ensure sustained food production coupled with efficient postharvest, marketing and logistics systems,\u201d said Secretary Dar.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll our hands are on deck as part of the President Duterte\u2019s economic team\u2019s effort in jumpstarting the economy and attracting more investments to buoy capacities of the country\u2019s agri-fishery sector,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe assure President Duterte, Secretary Dominguez, and fellow EDC and IATF members, that we at the DA will do our utmost in pump-priming and industrializing Philippine countryside in partnership with the LGUs and captains of industry,\u201d said secretary Dar.<\/p>\n
To date, he added, more than 340 LGUs nationwide have bought P1.9-billion worth of various agri-fishery produce from farmers and fishers nationwide. This is on top of the continuing purchases of fresh, processed and manufactured food and basic necessities by agribusiness enterprises and conglomerates nationwide. ### (Tomas Marquez, DA StratComms)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author: DA Communications Group | 15 May 2020 The Department of Agriculture (DA) \u2014 as a member of the economic development cluster (EDC) of the Cabinet of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte \u2014 strongly supports the five-point economic measures proposed by Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary and EDC chair Carlos G.
