Lalamove eyes support for farmers
BAGUIO CITY — Lalamove, which recently launched its on-demand delivery services in Baguio City, is in talks with the local government to help urban farmers during calamities or when there is oversupply.
Under the plan, Lalamove will buy farm products from affected farmers, Lalamove Philippines Managing Director Djon Nacario said.
“The agricultural sector is vital to the Philippines. Amid the typhoon season, we have discussed with Mayor Benjamin Magalong that should the farmers need assistance, Lalamove is ready to rescue-buy their produce, which will be donated to repository markets and communities in need,” he said.
Lalamove wants to extend the initiative to more farmers and markets across Metro Manila.
“Lalamove is not just about moving goods; it’s about moving lives forward,” Mr. Nacario said. — Artemio A. Dumlao
