CITY OF TABUK, Kalinga, July 2 (PIA) - Forty micro-enterprises in the province eye to improve their operation after receiving assistance under the Livelihood Seeding Program-Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay (LSP-NSB) of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Rowena Boston of DTI-Kalinga said the program which is aligned to the government's COVID-19 response programs, aims to add business capacity to micro, small and medium enterprises especially in 4th- 6th income class municipalities with a start-up capital of P3 million or less.

Of the 40 beneficiaries, 17 are from Tanudan, 13 from Tinglayan and 10 from Pasil.

Under the LSP-NSB, DTI provides additional grocery inventory for sari-sari stores while manufacturing, food processing, catering service and livelihood production get tools, equipment and raw materials. Each LSB-NSB kit contains items worth P8, 000.

Boston said the assistance provided is based on the profiled needs of beneficiaries. .

DTI has earlier distributed similar livelihood assistance under the Pangkabuhayan para sa Pagbangon at Ginhawa (PBG) to Covid- affected families in communist-influenced areas in the province. These areas are no longer included in the LSP-NSB, Boston said. (JDP/LL-PIA CAR, Kalinga)
