Marcela Fertilizer now certified organic

The Organic Certification Center of the Philippines (OCCP) recently granted the Marcela Farms fermented poultry manure fertilizer the Seal of Excellence and Integrity and certified it as organic.

OCCP is a certification and inspection body for food and products, as well as agricultural inputs such as fertilizer, pesticide, and fertilizers, serving the agriculture industry and the consumers of certified products. Its primary purpose is to certify secure, wholesome, and compliant with Philippine organic agriculture standards products.

Julie Ann Gepielago, the certification manager for OCCP, signed the certification for Marcela Fertilizer with certification number 072723 last April 24.

Farmers’ testimonies demonstrate that Marcela Fertilizer, a high-quality product of Marcela Farms, Inc., a subsidiary of the Alturas Group of Companies, is produced from pure poultry excrement and effectively improves the soil on rice fields and other farmlands.

It is not surprising that the Marcela Fertilizer is one of the most visited stalls at some local agri-fairs, given that people are increasingly interested in planting and farming, particularly since the government encourages everyone to transfer their focus to agriculture. The Marcela Farms fertilizers enhance soil fertility more than any other commercial fertilizers, allowing customers to clearly discern the difference between organic and chemical fertilizers.
