MisOcc gov't distributes free fertilizers to boost rice farmers' productivity

 


MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL – To strengthen local agriculture and support rice farmers, the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, led by Governor Henry Oaminal, in partnership with local government units (LGUs), is distributing FREE fertilizers under the Asenso Rice Farmers Full Assistance Program.

Farmers in Ozamiz City, Plaridel, Calamba, Tudela, Clarin, and Panaon were the first to receive assistance, while distribution continues across other cities and municipalities until February 2025.

P100 Million Allocated for Agriculture

Board Member Winston “Dondon” Catane, Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture emphasized that this initiative reflects Governor Oaminal’s strong commitment to uplifting local farmers.

"Our governor has allocated P100 million for the agricultural sector—the first time in our province's history that such priority has been given to farmers," Catane said.

He also highlighted the upcoming completion of two modern mechanical dryers and milling plants, set to open in early 2025, further strengthening the province’s agricultural infrastructure.

Farmers Express Gratitude

Local farmer Rufino Caรฑio from Barangay Bacolod, who received three types of fertilizers, expressed his gratitude saying, "We’re very happy because this is a big help for us. Fertilizers cost a lot, so this assistance truly eases our burden. Thank you, Gov, Mayor, and Congressman."

Full Support for Rice Farmers

Beyond fertilizers, the Asenso Rice Farmers Full Assistance Program also provides land preparation support, free fertilizers, post-harvest assistance, and marketing support.

Starting with the 2025 dry cropping season, this initiative aims to reduce farming costs, improve yields, and sustain high rice production—ensuring food security and economic growth for Misamis Occidental. (SN/PGMO)
