The Department of Agriculture (DA) is readying interventions under its P700-million (M) Quick Response Fund (QRF) after conducting field validation of \u2018Typhoon Ambo\u2019 affected areas in Eastern Visayas and Luzon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will use the QRF to rehabilitate affected areas and help farmers and fishers who suffered the brunt of \u2018Ambo\u2019 that damaged P1.14-billion worth of crops and fishery resources, where close to three-fourths or 69 percent belong to the high-value crops sub-sector,\u201d Agriculture Secretary William Dar said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTotal damage to banana, assorted vegetables, and papaya amounted to P793 M, as \u2018Ambo\u2019 toppled and flooded said crops,\u201d Secretary Dar said.<\/p>\n
For rice and corn, initial reports showed that combined damage totaled P301.7 M.<\/p>\n
The fisheries sub-sector incurred a loss of P25.5 M, while the livestock sector posted a loss of P23.4 M.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were fortunate that the losses were not that heavy, as we issued early warning and pro-active recommendations to our regional field offices several days before the weather disturbance touched down in eastern Visayas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn particular, we advised farmers to harvest their mature rice and corn crops, and fishers to refrain from going out to sea and secure their boats and nets at safer areas,\u201d the DA chief said.<\/p>\n
He directed the prepositioning of rice, corn and vegetable seeds in regions 1, 3, 4A, 5, 6, 7, 8, and Cordillera.<\/p>\n
These included 109,586 bags of rice seeds, 10,116 bags of corn seeds, and 1,195 kilograms of vegetable seeds. Animal drugs and other biologics for livestock and poultry were also distributed.<\/p>\n
In addition, the DA through the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC) is set to grant an initial indemnity of P90.5 M to about 11,500 farmers and fishermen, who availed of insurance coverage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of beneficiaries might still go up as we conduct further adjustment and validation of more affected areas. We have given strict instructions to our personnel to conduct the adjustment activities and process the indemnity payments soonest,\u201d said PCIC President Jovy Bernabe in his report to Secretary Dar.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, we would like to highlight the importance of our farmers insuring their crops, livestock animals, and other farm equipment and facilities, as this guarantees that they will get back their investments whenever weather disturbances like \u2018Typhoon Ambo\u2019 and other natural calamities occur,\u201d Secretary Dar said.<\/p>\n
He added that the DA continues to provide assistance and support to those affected by the recent weather disturbance, amid the challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cTuloy-tuloy po ang suporta at ayuda ng Kagawaran sa mga naapektuhan ng bagyo, ganun din po sa mga dumaranas ng malaking pagsubok dahil sa<\/em> Covid-19. Ang inyo pong pamahalaan sa pamumuno ni Pangulong<\/em> Rodrigo Roa Duterte ay laging nandito upang buong-pusong maglingkod sa inyong lahat<\/em>,\u201d he concluded. ### (Adora Rodriguez, DA-AFID)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
