Cynthia Villar, it was stated that the Dairy Box will enable farmers to market their dairy products, thereby improving their livelihoods. “Ang proyektong ito ay isang mahalagang hakbang sa pagpapalakas ng kabuhayan ng mga magsasaka. Ang Dairy Box, na proyekto ng PCC, ay isang inisyatibong naglalayong gawing sentro ng produksyon at kalakalan ang mga komunidad na kasali sa carabao-based enterprises. Sa pamamagitan nito, nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon ang mga magsasaka na maibenta ang kanilang produktong gatas. Hindi lamang nito ipinapakita ang husay at sipag ng ating mga kooperatiba, kundi nagbibigay din ito ng mas malawak na oportunidad para sa kanilang pag-unlad,” Sen. Villar said. Erwin Malacca, representing the MBIA cooperative, expressed his gratitude for being entrusted with the carabao and the Dairy Box. He also encouraged his fellow farmers to take good care of the carabaos, as a reliable source of income.
