BUENAVISTA, BOHOL | June 07, 2022 - Deputy Executive Director for Fertilizer Dr. Myer Mula, together with Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources OIC Provincial Fishery Officer Candido Samijon and Bohol Agricultural Promotion Center Officer Aurea Madrio, turned over one unit of oyster processing materials and equipment to Mayor Dave Duallo and Municipal Agriculturist Lino Divinagracia of LGU Buenavista, Bohol.

"We will help each other, and we need your cooperation and prayers for the success of this Project. With the help of the DA APCO, we are looking into extending our assistance by providing additional income/food for oyster farmers by integration through vegetable production for sustainability," Dr. Mula said.

On the other hand, as a counterpart to the planned DA vegetable project, FPA Regional Officer Arnulfo Arausa, Jr. pledged to assist in the conduct of vegetable production training, safe and judicious use of fertilizer and pesticide, and Balanced Fertilization Strategy (BFS) training. These trainings will help the farmers on how to properly use fertilizer and pesticides in the safest way possible without compromising the quality of vegetables being produced in the area. The training will start in the second semester of the year. ###
