Corn farmers and fisherfolk have been granted P3,000 to apply to their fuel purchases, subject to conditions, in order to cushion the impact of rising oil prices, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said. “We are confronted with constant increase in prices of oil and oil products which affects agricultural and fishery operations,” the DA said in a memorandum circular. The subsidy will be applicable to users of machinery for corn production, from land preparation to postharvest activities, as well as the motorized boats of fisherfolk.
