BILIRAN, PHILIPPINES — June 17, 2026 — The Province of Biliran proudly rolls out the Fertilizer for Rice Exchange Program (FREP), a pioneering “Barter System” built to uplift every Biliranon farmer.

Under FREP, farmers can exchange 1 sack of rice (50kg) for 2 sacks of inorganic fertilizer (50kg each). This direct swap removes cash barriers and puts vital farm inputs straight into the hands of those who feed our province.

Why FREP Matters:

• Makadaginot sa Gastos: Slash input costs and keep more earnings at home.
• Dali nga Pag-angkon: Fast, simple exchange process with no red tape.
• Mas Dagko nga Abot: Boost soil health for bigger, better harvests.
• Taas nga Kita: Higher yields mean higher income for farming families.

Governor Rogelio J. Espina and the Office of the Provincial Agricultural Services (OPAS) reaffirm their commitment: Serbisyong Biliranon means real solutions, not promises. When farmers thrive, Biliran thrives.

FREP is more than a program. It’s a partnership with every mag-uuma. Let’s grow together.
