The Department of Agriculture should review a recent memorandum order that would limit the type of fertilizer that rice farmers could use, Senator Imee Marcos on Monday, May 15, said.

"Biofertilizers still need to be tested on a sufficient scale to prove that rice production costs can be lowered and better harvests achieved," she explained.
A separate document on the DA's guidelines for suppliers also shows that the price peg of P6,000 per five-gram pack of microbial-based biofertilizer was more expensive than urea.
