The Marcos administration will introduce the use of biofertilizers to farmers to reduce the country’s dependence on imported and petroleum-based fertilizers in the wake of concerns over the rising prices of the commodity.
In a video released by the Presidential Communications Office yesterday, President Marcos, the concurrent agriculture secretary, said the use of biofertilizers was brought to the fore because of high fertilizer prices and supply issues.
“We are totally dependent on petroleum-based fertilizer. Now, we are going to introduce biofertilizer to our farmers and teach them how to use it. And hopefully, this will ease our concerns when it comes to the supply of fertilizer. And we can fully control the availability of biofertilizer,” Marcos said.
