Sugar Regulatory Administrator Luis Azcona ordered the research and development arm of the agency to prioritize sampling of sugar cane and sugar land in light of the recent eruption of the Kanlaon Volcano. Azcona said they will need information as to the acidity level of the soil as well as its effects on canes already planted in areas where volcanic ash falls were noted.
The testing will include scraping ash from cane leaves and collecting it from surface grounds in the municipalities of La Castellana, Moises Padilla, Pontevedra, and La Carlota City, where volcanic ash turned some fields gray. Azcona said they received reports that some farmers took advantage of the heavy rains following the eruption to plant canes yesterday, and asked their research department to immediately release the results of the test.
