PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. on Monday ordered the Department of Agriculture (DA) to ensure the swift delivery of all forms of support to farmers to prevent any gaps during the planting season, according to his office.

“There should be no significant delays to the implementation of agri-support to farmers,” he told the DA in a Monday meeting with the economic team, according to a press release from the Presidential Communications Office (PCO).

During its presentation, the DA said farmers can achieve higher yields and maximize productivity with sufficient assistance in fertilizers, quality seeds, and technologies.

This support would allow farmers to plant on time and optimize harvest potential, the agency said.

“Increased rice production supports job creation across the value chain, farm laborers, transporters, millers, and traders, stimulating rural economies,” Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel, Jr. was quoted as saying.

The PCO said Mr. Marcos ordered the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) “to be mindful of the planting season,” asking to “guarantee timely budgetary support for the agriculture sector.” — Kyle Aristophere T. Atienza
