The Department of Agriculture (DA) and private sector partners launched on May 4, the \u201ceKadiwa,\u201d an online marketing platform that directly links producers and agripreneurs to consumers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough eKadiwa, we strengthen our commitment to providing every Filipino family a convenient and easier way to buying fresh, nutritious, and safe food products by simply using a mobile phone or computer,\u201d said Agriculture Secretary William Dar.<\/p>\n
Customers only need to visit eKadiwa.da.gov.ph, where they can order a wide range of fresh and affordable farm and fishery products from initially three merchants: AgriNurture, Inc. (ANI); Zagana, Inc.; and Benjabi Ventures Corp., said Dennis Layug, DA senior technical adviser, tasked by Secretary Dar as project lead.<\/p>\n
The ordered goods are paid initially through cash-on-delivery (COD) or bank transfer, said Layug, adding that the DA is currently negotiating with commercial banks to effect payment via credit card.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, the goods will be delivered initially via Mober, Inc. Other transport and delivery service providers like Lalamove and Grab have signified joining the eKadiwa project, Layug added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the coming days, we expect to partner with more farmers\u2019 and fishers\u2019 groups, and merchants. Individual sellers or producers\u2019 groups can also register as vendors for free at the eKadiwa site, and this would enable us to reach more customers,\u201d said secretary Dar.<\/p>\n
The eKadiwa will initially cover Metro Manila and eventually expand to other major urban areas nationwide, the DA chief said.<\/p>\n
ANI President and CEO Antonio Tiu said: \u201cThis is an opportunity for us to showcase our \u2018bayanihan\u2019 spirit and take part in the agriculture sector\u2019s paradigm shift towards modernization. This is a good example of a successful public-private partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201ceKadiwa could be the biggest e-commerce site in the agriculture sector,\u201d he added. Asked on the prospects of eKadiwa, Basil Bolinao of Mober Inc. said they are expecting a peak of 20,000 deliveries per day in Metro Manila.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn all, the food supply chain will always be a part of \u2018essential services,\u2019 with or without COVID-19. The eKadiwa further expands \u2018Kadiwa ni Ani at Kita,\u2019 complementing our regular outlets and rolling stores in Metro Manila and other areas nationwide,\u201d concluded secretary Dar. ### (Gumamela Bejarin, DA-AFID)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Author: DA Communications Group | 5 May 2020 The Department of Agriculture (DA) and private sector partners launched on May 4, the \u201ceKadiwa,\u201d an online marketing platform that directly links producers and agripreneurs to consumers. \u201cThrough eKadiwa, we strengthen our commitment to providing every Filipino family a convenient and easier way to buying fresh, continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":13672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[494,495,493],"class_list":["post-13668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-agripreneurs","tag-consumers","tag-ekadiwa"],"yoast_head":"\nKadiwa goes online, bringing farmers\u2019 produce closer to more consumers (repost) -
