Agri food passes valid until April 30

With the extension of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon until April 30, the Department of Agriculture has extended the validity of the food pass stickers and related documents it had issued nationwide.

This would “ensure the seamless and smooth transport of food cargoes and agri-fishery inputs essential to food production and processing, including the movement of our front-liners—farmers, fishers and workers in food processing facilities across the country,” Agriculture Secretary William Dar said, adding that trucks and cargo vehicles should be allowed to pass through quarantine checkpoints as long as proper identification and other required documents are presented. —KARL R.
