In a commendable initiative to support local farmers, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR) recently provided substantial assistance through the Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division MAFARLENGKE Express program in collaboration with the Gender and Development program, which aims to empower local farmers and enhance agricultural sustainability.

On December 6, 2023, the program successfully facilitated the assistance of 2.535 tons (2,300 kilograms) of locally cultivated squash from Gaunan, Radjah Buayan, Maguindanao del Sur.

The MAFARLENGKE Express program is a vital link between farmers and markets, streamlining the distribution process and connecting produce with consumers. This initiative underscores the ministry’s commitment to fostering economic growth, promoting local agriculture, and ensuring food security.

The MAFARLENGKE Express program continues to serve as a beacon of support for farmers, facilitating produce flow from local farms to broader markets.
