SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur—Upland flower growers in this municipality experienced robust demand for their produce over the weekend as Filipino consumers prepared for the Undas holiday period. Members of the Pinagalaan Cutflower Farmers Association established retail stalls near the city rotunda, where steady customer traffic translated into strong sales of freshly harvested arrangements.
The timing coincided with the traditional surge in flower purchases ahead of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, when Filipinos visit cemeteries and memorial sites to honor departed family members. Local growers capitalized on the seasonal demand, offering consumers an alternative to imported blooms while supporting regional agricultural enterprises.
The positive sales performance underscores the commercial viability of upland flower cultivation in the region and demonstrates consumer preference for fresh, locally sourced arrangements during the Undas observance period.
