The Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD) of the Department of Agriculture will be conducting productivity performance evaluation to each Barangay Food Terminal installed to identify the productivity of each BFT in Davao Region, | |||
Davao BFT Focal Person Assistant Arquillo Villahermosa said each BFT will be evaluated based on the fulfillment of the project objectives which include significant daily sales and if it continuously helps the producer as well as the consumers in the area.

BFTs are Barangay-based food depot and distribution system which offer affordable, safe and quality wage food products like meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and fruits.
