Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros has warned of another fertilizer fund scam after the Department of Agriculture issued a memorandum order directing the use of biofertilizers.
Apart from this, Hontiveros stressed the need to conduct a study on whether the use of biofertilizer instead of fertilizer will improve the productivity of farmers in rice production and whether its use is indeed more cost-efficient for farmers. In her resolution, Hontiveros cited a portion of MO 32 which claims that it “aims to improve the productivity of farmers in rice production in spite of the high prices of fertilizers by distributing biofertilizers which will complement the use of inorganic fertilizers and support the balance fertilization program.”
