Agriculture will become “sexy again”, Quezon Rep. David “Jayjay” Suarez declared Monday as the province is set to showcase soon the largest agricultural trading post that would attract consumers and producers in various parts of the country and provide “long-term food security roadmap” to empower farmers.
Suarez and Agriculture Secretary William Dar led the ground break of the P100 million Sariaya Agricultural Trading Center and Facilities (SATCF) in Sampaloc 2, Sariaya, Quezon. They were joined by Sariaya Mayor Marcelo Gayeta.
Suarez, vice chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said he supported the establishment of a bigger trading post after the lease for the current agricultural center also located in Sariaya is about to expire.
