The Department of Budget and Management only granted P200 billion out of the Department of Agriculture's P513 billion requested budget for 2025, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu-Laurel Jr. said Monday.“It is unfortunate na ‘yung request natin na P500 billion ay naging P200 billion. I guess, it all boils down sa kung ano ang kaya ng ating gobyerno na i-provide,” Tiu-Laurel said during the DA budget deliberations before the House Appropriations panel.
“Are we even serious here? How do we bring down the prices of goods, commodities if we don’t allocate enough funding for the agriculture sector? We also want to increase our food production, but the budget was reduced. Para tayong naglolokohan lang. Dapat ibigay yung ni-request ng ahensya, at gastusin nang tama,” Lee added.In addition, Lee said that while the proposed 2025 budget for pre-harvest services reached P58.45 billion, only P13.51 billion was allocated for post-harvest facilities.
