Dear Mr. Cortez,

Greetings from Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority!

For questions:

 1 and 3. FPA is a technical regulatory agency which issues licenses and permits for fertilizer and pesticide products and handlers, among others. We do not have a particular budget, program, and research for molluscicide.

2. Please make an inquiry to the Department of Agriculture. DA might have data on Economic loss of the country due to the invasion of the Golden Apple Snail Species since 2015. 

4. Kindly refer to NCPC https://ncpc.cafs.uplb.edu.ph/ or other research agencies since FPA does not do research. Also, we are active ingredient/formulation specific. 

5. and 6. For the average expenditure of a farmer for molluscicide and average cost of mollusicide in the Philippines, kindly visit PSA website - https://psa.gov.ph/gsearch?%2F=molluscicide.

Thank you.
