DTI taps ‘sari-sari' stores to bring affordable goods to consumers

RESPONDING to calls from consumers to bring affordable basic goods to their neighborhood “sari-sari” stores, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Wednesday launched a project inviting their owners, wholesalers and cooperatives willing to comply with the DTI’s suggested retail prices (SRP) initially in Metro Manila

“The DTI Suking Tindahan program was conceived by Secretary Ramon Lopez to heed the call of consumers for reasonably-priced basic and prime goods to be made available at their neighborhood sari-sari stores,” the DTI said in a statement.
