DA to update agri-fishery machinery testing, evaluation guidelines
Excerpt
The Department of Agriculture has formed a group to update the guidelines on the testing and evaluation of agricultural and fisheries machineries. In a special order, Agriculture Secretary William Dar ordered the creation of an inter-agency technical working group (TWG) for the updating of the guidelines under Department Circular No. 5, Series of 2017 to address concerns on the implementation. The previously issued guidelines were in line with the implementation of Republic Act No. 10601 or the Agricultural and Fisheries Mechanization (AFMech) Law, which states that agricultural and fisheries machinery and equipment to be sold in the market should pass through testing and evaluation by the Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (AMTEC).
