LGUs promote ARC products in AGGAW Agri-Trade Fair 2013

TUGUEGARAO CITY- Once again, one of the most anticipated activity in the province of Cagayan is the Agri-Trade Fair during the annual AGGAW NAC CAGAYAN celebration. The local government units (LGUs) in the province have constructed their individual unique booths at the Cagayan Sports Complex and loaded them with goods/products from their municipalities. From booths shaped like giant fruits to some mimicking caves, boats, bridges and church buildings, the trade fair booths do not fail to surprise and amuse people trooping into the trade show grounds.          
The provincial government of Cagayan celebrates the 430th founding anniversary of its civil government this year from June 26-30 (Wednesday-Sunday) and one of the major highlights of which is the AGRI-TRADE SHOW/EXHIBIT where products from the different municipalities are on display and sale. There are lots of things to buy in these trade shows such as candies made from native fruits, there are also assorted dried fish such as eel, live fat crabs from downstream Cagayan, home-spun fabrics, hand-woven bags made from indigenous materials, the famous carabao skin Chicharabao cracklings and the equally favourite kinds bibingka, etc. Just bring some money and you will go home happy.
Also found in some LGU booths are products from the various Agrarian Reform Communities (ARCs) in the province, such as the In-Shell Roasted Peanut of EASTERN ALCALA ARC; the sweet Bucayu of LABDABES ARC in Allacapan; Carabao Milk Candy from SOUTHCAG ARC in Tuguegarao City; the Kabarangay Sugar Cane Vinegar of MADOVILLA ARC in Piat; and the crisp and glazed sweet Banana Chips of ESTEMARCONBAGA ARC in Amulung, Cagayan. These products are the result of the development trainings provided to agrarian reform beneficiaries’ organizations under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).  
The Aggaw Nac Cagayan Agri-Trade Show is an exhibition organized by the provincial government so that micro/small entrepreneurs in various municipalities can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services with the assistance of their LGUs. They can also study activities of their competitors so they can improve their products or services and observe recent market trends and spot opportunities. Agriculture is still the major industry in the province of Cagayan. /christiandsales
