Make-do packaging

Roadside stalls selling various food items are a common sight along main provincial roads. While regional food products may be a treat, there is something off putting in food items that are poorly packaged. Apart from the hygiene issue, these make-do packaging do not do justice to the products.

Unfortunate because these food items sold along the main highways can add to the tourist experience of travelers as well as boost the local economy.

 We have a government office whose mandate is to help entrepreneurs develop decent packaging for their products. Hopefully, someday, this office can do something to improve the packaging of these roadside products for the sake of the local producers and traveling consumers alike.
