Farmers devoted to flowers tract farming here are about to harvest tons of their produce in time for big demand in
places of worship during Easter Sunday.
Benguet Governor Nestor Fongwan predicted this as flower vendors
in Baguio City acknowledged the increased volume of demand this
weekend.
Flower growers in the province had huge sales last February during the annual Baguio Flower Festival, known as "Panagbenga", when an estimated 12,000 tons of fresh temperate flowers were bought for the event's floral parade.
Alongside the flower harvests, many strawberry and vegetable farmers are also ready to "flood" the local markets with their products to take advantage of the presence of hundreds of visitors now in Baguio City.
The farmers here are committed in stabilizing the prices of their produce in cooperation with other local government units' needs in this part of the region.
Meanwhile, Gov. Fongwan confirmed the noted increase of summer visitors in La Trinidad as they spill out from Baguio City. La Trinidad is being developed as eco-tourism destination in Benguet.
