(File photo) April 26, 2021 THE Cebu Provincial Government is planning to buy the excess supply of cabbage from farmers in Dalaguete town, southern Cebu, and distribute them to charities, district and provincial hospitals, religious organizations, jail facilities, and police offices, and other institutions.
It is also planning to tap community pantries as a venue to encourage individuals to distribute food, such as vegetables, to those in need.
The excess supply of cabbage is a result of a steep decrease in demand as an effect of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic, according to Sugbo News.
In 2020 when strict quarantine checkpoints were enforced for months, at least two tons of unsold assorted vegetables go to waste daily in Dalaguete, which is considered Cebu’s “Vegetable Basket.” This resulted in huge losses for the farmers.
