6. for letter according to the FDA, not required already since as stated by them:
“Eggshell fertilizer generally does not require approval from the Philippine Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) because it is not considered a food, drug, or pharmaceutical product. Instead, it
falls under the category of agricultural inputs or soil amendments.”

7. 165 plant size, remaining lot 124 sqm (whole lot 289 sqm)

8. Ask “Per farmer, how many kilograms of fertilizer do they consume or use and what frequency of
usage as well as fertilizer requirements”
“The amount and frequency of fertilizer used by farmers in Zamboanga City can vary widely
depending on the type of crops they are cultivating, the specific soil conditions, and the farming
practices employed. Different crops have varying nutrient requirements, and soil tests are often
conducted to determine the specific nutrient needs of the soil.

As a general guideline, farmers typically apply fertilizers in specific quantities per hectare or per
square meter of land. Common fertilizers used in agriculture contain varying proportions of nitrogen
(N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), and farmers adjust the application rates based on the nutrient
content of the fertilizer and the crop's requirements.”

9. Small-Scale Hammer Mills capacity: 50 to 200 kilograms per hour.
