Cabbage Farmer Chooses Generosity Over Waste Due to Low Prices
DALAGUETE, SOUTHERN CEBU – A generous cabbage farmer decided to give away their harvest due to extremely low prices.
A cabbage farmer in Dalaguete town, southern Cebu, made an admirable decision on Friday, (January 5, 2024). Due to extremely low prices in the market and an oversupply of cabbage, the farmer preferred to give away their harvest instead of letting it go to waste.
Yamah Requina, a Facebook user, shared that rather than discarding the cabbages, the farmer chose to share them with others to prevent unnecessary waste. He explained the farmer’s decision to give away the produce was due to the low buying price of cabbage in the market.
“Tungod sa kabarato sa utanong repolyo ne desisyon nlng mag-uuma imbes ilabay ipang htag nlng arn mahimuslan pa sa uban,” Requina said.
