FPA Cagayan Valley trains safety dispensers on responsible farm input handling
March 14, 2025 | Iguig, Cagayan — To develop competent and safety-conscious advocates who will ensure the safe and proper management of fertilizers and pesticides, the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) Cagayan Valley conducted an Accredited Safety Dispenser (ASD) training at DA-CVRC, Minanga Norte, Iguig, Cagayan on March 12-13, 2025.
The training was organized in response to recent inspections revealing a shortage of ASDs in several agricultural stores. To address this gap, the program equipped participants with essential skills for safely handling and managing fertilizers and pesticides. Key topics included FPA regulations, pesticide safety, fertilizer handling, poisoning response, and first aid. Participants underwent a pre-examination to assess their initial knowledge and a post-examination to evaluate their learning outcomes.
Regional Officer Mr. Leonardo A. Bangad emphasized that the training was not merely about regulatory compliance but also about fostering responsible partners who can guide farmers on safely using farm inputs.
Beyond technical knowledge, the training highlighted the moral responsibility of safety dispensers to ensure that every product sold upholds both quality and safety for farmers and their communities.
A total of fifty participants from Cagayan province completed the training, strengthening the region’s capacity for safer agricultural practices.###
