BBM irked by govt failure to handle complaints on farm-to-market deliveries

PRESIDENT Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has put to task government agencies to solve logistical challenges faced by transporters and cargo forwarders of agricultural products to lower prices of food commodities.

The Chief Executive issued the directive to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) during last Thursday's Cabinet meeting, as he stressed how the government is "not handling" the complaints lodged by those directly ferrying agricultural goods to and from the market.
