[Title] => Farmers need market access more than subsidy
[Summary] =>
The Department of Agriculture (DA) believes that farmers need to establish direct linkages and expand their access to retail markets, rather than rely on government subsidy to boost their incomes.
Director Ricardo Cachuela of the Bureau of Post Harvest Research and Extension, said direct market access eliminates the trading layers that jack up the cost of basic food stuff.
Cachuela said "providing subsidies for farmers to help boost their productivity is also among the priorities of the DA."

[Title] => Touch Mobile, DA tie up for text services
[Summary] => There are many variables that can affect agri-businesses which in turn, affect the price of agriculture commodities. Chief among these is the weather which can impact heavily on a farmer or a fisherman’s earnings. Extreme fluctuations in the weather have been known to drive up the price of vegetables and other produce. It is imperative therefore, for them to always be apprised of changes in local weather conditions, and conversely, for consumers to always know the prices of their products.

[Title] => Where’s the Filipino heart?
[Summary] => It is in the little people, the ordinary man and woman in the street, in the market, in the work place. It is in them, who care sincerely and feel for their fellowmen. We met some of them at the Farmers’ Market in Quezon City sometime ago. We encountered another two when we visited the Muntinlupa Public Market mid-week. In the course of monitoring prices, it is gratifying to have met our namesake, Lydia, who with daughter Jeng maintains a meat stall in the market. We didn’t realize that each stall displays a list of controlled (by the DTI) prices for shoppers to refer to.
