“After-Sales Service”
A Branson 6225R tractor that had been operating for over a year was given an after-sale service by Fit Corea Service on August 3, 2022 in San Nicolas, Pangasinan. The maintenance was done to look for fuel line system clogging, a problem that frequently affects tractor engines. unclean or clogged fuel filter may then exhaust the engine’s fuel supply, leaving it without power. To prevent contaminants like rust and dirt from getting into the engine and its parts, fuel filter components are made to do just that. One of the most frequent signs that the fuel system in your tractor is clogged is the failure of the fuel filter. The fuel may not be able to reach the engine because of this problem. Our skilled mechanics at Fit Corea are capable of identifying and resolving any fuel filter-related problems. In order to please our customers, we work hard to deliver the best service.

Mindanao is really rich in agriculture. Over 33% of the country’s farming and fisheries produce is coming from there and on the top of that, 60% of income also comes from there for agricultural exports, with banana and coconut as the top commodities. There’s a need for room for improvement in the agriculture sector in Mindanao considering that the agricultural sector is contributing only 18% to the regional economy. International Corporation

Last July, under the Bayanihan 2 Program, the DA-BFAR regional office in Ilocos turned over an aluminum van truck to the local government unit (LGU) of Dasol, Pangasinan and other post-harvest equipment to residents engaged in salt-making. A number of factors have contributed to the decline in the production of salt including low quality control and stunted product improvement for many Limitedyears. development has also been noted, including the lack of innovation and interventions, as well as low enterprise and investment opportunities that resulted to the decrease in the production of the said Incommodity.addition, the sector has failed to adapt to the challenges caused by the global climate change, food safety standards and quality requirements, and tariff reduction, and meet the mandatory iodization imposed by Republic Act 8172, or the Act for Salt Iodization Nation-wide To(ASIN).further enhance the local salt industry, DA will collaborate with national agencies including the Departments of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and Trade and Industry (DTI). Under the ASIN law, DENR , along with other appropriate government agencies shall identify areas that are suitable for use as salt farms with the purpose of protecting such areas from environmental risks to ensure sustainability of iodized salt production. The law also mandates DTI to assist and support local salt
Covering Regions 1, 6, and 9, the project aims to increase salt production and produce excellent quality of salt through enhancement and improvement of the different methods and practices on salt production, and product compliance to food safety standards. The project was jointly undertaken by the BFAR Central Office, the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), and concerned BFAR regional offices.
DA will also look into the expansion of production areas, and development of technologies including evaporation system and the use of various machineries to accelerate the production of salt. Likewise, facilities for processing, packaging and value adding will be provided to marginal salt makers under a cosharing agreement.
