Rolling stores in plazas

Iloilo City Government’s Uswag Rolling Store Project is still on-going to bring farm produce closer to consumers.

The mobile market is available from 8AM to 12NN during Mondays at Mandurriao Plaza; Wednesdays at Molo Plaza; and Fridays at Arevalo Gym.

Vendor and farmer participants profited a total of PHP113,679 from their sales November 23 to December 30 last year.

They are from Brgy. Camalig, Jaro in Iloilo City and the municipalities of Leon, San Miguel and Estancia.

The program is in partnership with the regional offices of Department of Agriculture and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

“As we all know, fresh vegetables and fruits is all we need to increase our immunity – and to combat the virus. The main purpose of this initiative is to help in limiting the movement of people and social distancing. And aside from that, sellers offer their and freshly picked fruits and vegetables at a good price,” Acting City Agriculturist Iñigo Garingalao said. (Alexandra Jover/Iloilo City PIO)
