President Marcos Implements Aid and Toll Relief for Agriculture Sector
President Marcos has introduced a series of measures to support the agriculture sector in the Philippines, particularly in response to rising fuel and logistics costs. During a visit to Benguet, he distributed P15.79 million in farm inputs and machinery to farmer cooperatives. Additionally, Marcos announced a P10-per-liter reduction in diesel prices and a one-month suspension of toll fees for trucks transporting agricultural products. These initiatives aim to alleviate the financial burden on farmers and ensure the continuous movement of goods, thereby preventing supply chain disruptions.
