Today, (August 12, 2026),
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR - Lanao del Sur), headed by Provincial Director Atty. Khalid D. Ansano, through the MAFAR Research and Regulatory Division, conducted regular monitoring and surveillance for the detection of crop pests in collaboration with the Local Government Unit of Municipality of Amai Manabilang, headed by Municipal Mayor Hon. Saidamen Leo E. Manabilang.
The team randomly selected four (4) barangays and three (3) sites in each barangay to assess the presence of crop pests and monitor the condition of agricultural crops. The selected areas were Barangay Sumugot, Barangay Punud, Frankfort, and Barangay Mansilano.
Aside from the monitoring and surveillance activities, the team also provided PLEO pesticide to farmers to support the management and control of crop pests. A knapsack sprayer was likewise provided to the cooperative in Barangay Mansilano to enhance their capacity in applying appropriate crop protection measures.
These initiatives demonstrate the continued commitment of MAFAR and the LGU of Amai-Manabilang to providing technical assistance and agricultural support to farmers and cooperatives, strengthening crop protection, promoting sustainable agricultural productivity, and ensuring food security in the municipality.
