The Department of Agriculture (DA) is looking for a bigger budget allocation next year to boost the country's agriculture and fishery sectors. The DA said yesterday that the National Agriculture and Fisheries Council (NAF) Council has endorsed the proposed P134.5 billion budget of the agency for 2015. According to the DA, the NAF Council's endorsement is important as it served as the green light for the Agency's submission of the 2015 plan and budget proposal to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
