NextGen Day

On Wednesday, the Department of Agriculture (DA) reaffirmed that preparations were being made for any potential effects of Tropical Depression (TD) Amang.

The DA said in a statement that it was preparing for the potential effects of the bad weather on the standing crops of rice and corn.

“Based on the combined data of affected regions (Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Bicol region, and Eastern Visayas) as of today, the area of standing crops that may be affected by Tropical Depression “Amang” totals 632,706 hectares, with 602,728 hectares for rice and 29,978 hectares for corn,” it stated.

The DA activated its regional disaster risk reduction and management operation centers despite the fact that it is anticipated that TD Amang will diminish into a low-pressure area (LPA).

Additional activities were listed, such as “prepositioning of seeds for rice and corn, drugs, and biologics for livestock, poultry, and livestock in safe storage facilities; and coordination with the local government units (LGU) counterparts.”

The DA further stated that organizations, other farmers’ leaders, and local government units (LGUs) were continuously receiving alerts.

For the purpose of evaluating potential harm to livestock and crops, the real situation on the ground is also being observed.

In the meanwhile, the DA declared that it will also carry out routine interventions for farmers who might be impacted.

These include the dispersal of “rice, corn, and vegetable seeds; drugs and biologics for livestock and poultry; fingerlings and aid from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR); zero interest survival and recovery loan program; and activation of quick response fund.”
