While the Department of
Agriculture has been continuously trying to mitigate the weather
phenomenon’s impact, it will utilize its quick response fund (QTF)
to fast-track the delivery of appropriate services or interventions that
are critical for the rehabilitation of affected areas.
From April to July, the department (DA)
targets a total of 1,750 bags of rice registered seeds, 43,635 bags of
certified seeds, 42,362 bags of hybrid rice/HYTA, 1,513 bags of green
super rice, 80,000 kilograms of soil ameliorant/zinc sulphate, and 5,000
bags of organic fertilizer for distribution to affected farmers.
Other seed supply will serve as bufferstock for delivery to DA warehouses.
For corn, a total of 28,900 bags of open
pollinated variety corn and 12,500 bags of organic fertilizer will be
provided, while for high value crops, 600 kilograms and 5,500 packs of
assorted vegetable seeds, 25,000 kilograms of mungbean, and 28,000 kg
of mungbean will be distributed.
For livestock 4,633 bottles of
biologics, 65,000 doses of medicines, 30,000 packs of surveillance for
pests and diseases, 400 bags of feed concentrates, and 180 heads of goat
will be provided.
Under the water augmentation
initiatives, 332 units of pump and engine sets, nine units of diversion
dams, 1,816 unit of pump irrigation for open source, and four units of
drilling rig will be given away.
The regional field units has extended
the distribution of shallow tube wells to rainfed and upland areas
closer to water tributaries.
Meanwhile, the DA’s Bureau of Soils and
Water Management has deployed contracted aircrafts to seed clouds for
rain in identified vulnerable agricultural areas and watersheds to
minimize the impact of El Niño to crop production.
