DA starts distributing P5K cash aid to small rice farmers
The Department of Agriculture (DA) will start distributing P5,000 cash transfers to around 600,000 small rice farmers in 24 provinces this week.
These subsidies are part of the Financial Subsidy to Rice Farmers (FSRF) program and aim to help farmers buy inputs or support their families during the Luzon enhanced community quarantine.
The P3 billion fund for the FSRF is allocated under the 2020 General Appropriations Act, with distribution via the Land Bank of the Philippines.
