ALCALA, CAGAYAN | September 22, 2022 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Provincial Officer (PO) Henry C. Cayaban, Jr. warned 70 farmers about fake fertilizers during the Fertilizer Discount Voucher Subsidy Program in Brgy. Abeg, Alcala, Cagayan on September 21, 2022.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Through the program, PO Cayaban, Jr. informed the farmers of the rampant circulation of fake fertilizers and encouraged them to be knowledgeable in determining inauthentic fertilizer as he discussed its characteristics.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFake fertilizers are soft and easily pulverized, have high moisture content, and have incomplete details in sacks,\u201d he said while adding that fake fertilizer\u2019s granules were not uniform in size, unlike standard fertilizers, which are all even.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Moreover, PO Cayaban, Jr. also reminded the farmers to always check the weight of the fertilizer before purchasing since there were bags of fertilizer inspected to be under-weight during FPA\u2019s continuous monitoring.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

He then guaranteed the beneficiaries of FPA\u2019s effort following its mandate of assuring the farmers of quality agricultural inputs and aimed to intensify the enforcement against fake and substandard fertilizer.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The 70 beneficiaries of the fertilizer subsidy program of the Department of Agriculture were rice farmers from different barangays in Alcala, Cagayan. ###<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
