ART Tabosa Bohol now every Fri.,Mon.

In an effort to answer the needs of the Boholano buying public to buy Bohol-grown/raised agri-commodities at farm gate prices and other products coming from outside the province, the Agricultural Rural Transformation (ART) Tabosa Bohol has been conducted twice a week at the CPG Park fronting Bohol Wisdom School, CPG North Avenue, Cogon, Tagbilaran City.
Rosanna G. Lamdagan, Chief-Agribusiness Division, Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) said that starting on Friday the ART Tabosa Bohol will be conducted for two days every Friday and the usual operation every Monday at 8a.m. to 6p.m.
Lamdagan said that since the Tabo was launched last May 18, 2020 it has been patronized by the consuming public, thus the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) through the OPA has decided to add another day in the program.
However, she explained that the agri-commodities to be sold every Friday are locally grown or raised in Bohol at farm gate prices while every Monday sold are products in Bohol and coming from other provinces like Cagayan and Bukidnon at cheaper prices compared to those at public markets and malls.
Lamdagan invited the wholesalers are retailers from malls and wet markets and peddlers selling the agri-commodities along the roads in the different barangays of Tagbilaran City to purchase in bulk at the ART Tabosa Bohol every Friday for them to avail the farm gate prices.
Governor Art C. Yap launched the ART Tabo sa Bohol to encourage the Boholano farmers to become entrepreneurs by selling their agri-products and link them to possible traders.
Gov. Yap believes that with the sure market of the locally produced agricultural products, the Boholano farmers would encourage them to expand their farm lands for more production and bigger income.
Earlier, the governor explained that Tabo is also aimed at decongesting markets and malls to support the implementation of social distancing in this time of health crisis brought about by Covid-19.
The products to be sold at the ART Tabosa Bohol are rice, corn, fish, dried fish, vegetables, fruits, root crops, fish, eggs, cooking oil, meat, dressed chicken, and favourite Boholano delicacies such as budbod pilit, suman pilit, bukhayo, moron, bingka, putong balanghoy, dinumugang saging, and suman balanghoy.
