                    [Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) will tap the P95-million Cooperative Development Incentive Fund (CDIF) to  buy and distribute fertilizers in bulk and resell them to farmers’ groups.

                    [Summary] => Malacañang has  issued an executive order (EO) authorizing the National Food Auhority (NFA) to import 350,000 metric tons (MT) of  corn duty-free. 


NFA Administrator Arthur T. Yap  said the shipment  should come in before June which is the start of the lean season for corn. 


The  importation aims  to bring down feed costs of  local livestock and poultry raisers, and subsequently, bring down meat prices, especially pork. Corn prices, on the other hand, are expected to hold firm.
