Project Philmart: Linking farmers from rural areas to urban communities for food security

The Philippine Partnership for the Development of Human Resources in Rural Areas (Phildhrra) launched its recent initiative, “Project PhilMart,” on 28 February 2023 at the PhilDHRRA Compound, Quezon City. Project PhilMart is a component of Rural-Urban Market Link (RUML), a project implemented by a consortium led by GlowCorp and funded by USAID. The consortium consists of the Philippine Family Farmers’ Agriculture Fishery Forestry Cooperatives Federation (AgriCOOPH), AsiaDHRRA, Foundation for a Sustainable Society Inc (FSSI), the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO Network), PhilDHRRA, and the Partnership of Philippine Support Service Agencies (PHILSSA).

RUML aims to develop a business mechanism to facilitate the consolidation of agricultural products and link to urban communities, particularly in Greater Manila. Project PhilMart will link assisted farmers from rural areas and market products to urban communities targeting subdivisions and condominiums.

The Asian Partnership for the Development of Human Resources in Rural Asia (AsiaDHRRA)
is a regional partnership of eleven social development networks and organisations in eleven Asian nations that envisions Asian rural communities that are just, free, prosperous, living in peace and working in solidarity towards self-reliance. Tracing its history from the founding workshop on the development of human resources in rural areas in 1974 in Swanganiwas, Thailand, the DHRRA network’s mission is to be an effective promoter and catalyst of partnership relations, facilitator of human resource development processes in the rural areas and mobilizer of expertise and opportunities for the strengthening of solidarity and kinship among Asian rural communities.
It is dedicated to the empowerment of farmers in the Asian region.
