                    [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."
