Have we learned to embrace local products? I must push the button saying “YES” we should. Imported products all over department stores and grocery stores send us a message that the product is good, worth spending our money for. The word “imported” became part of the marketing strategy for some companies. I’m not denying I have interests on shopping for imported products. Although we shouldn’t forget to acknowledge and patronize our local products even more.

For easier access to local products, SariSariStore.com is the way to go.

SariSariStore.com is a platform designed to help Filipino microentrepreneurs create an online store that lets them build, customize, and manage their own business online for FREE. The website brings the communal interaction of merchants and customers to the online world. Undiscovered gems around the Philippines now have a grander avenue to be promoted and to commoditize as well. To boost the country’s economic growth, 1780 by SariSari brings focus and creates demand for Philippine heritage products that have yet to make an impact in the market, highlighting the sheer variety of regional delicacies and crafts available in the Philippines.

17 regions and 80 provinces all in 1 website. A variety of products brought by 1780 like non-traditional pili snacks from Bicol and Samar, fruit sauces, fruit jams, fruit wines from Visayas and Mindanao and a lot more.

Here are some of the products to expect from SariSari:

Pineapple Marmalade from Ormoc Uphill

Atchara from EJT Food Products

Kablon Farms Dark Chocolates

Remember my recent post about Chef Gene Gonzalez’ Chocolate dinner, Kablon Farms is one of the local dark chocolates presented that night.

Erneil DyLim’s vision of creating an avenue for our local entrepreneurs is brilliant. I mean, we won’t normally see these products everywhere, in leading supermarkets especially. By making competitive Filipino products available online, not just online but in a one-stop shop with a catchy name, it will be easier for shoppers to discover new Filipino products out in the market.

Have you tried any of these Philippine products?

Check out 1780 by SariSari and tell me what you think! 🙂
