                    [Summary] => The largely unutilized  P5.1-billion Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ACEF) which expired last month will likely be reverted back to the Bureau of  Treasury (BTr) after the Senate committee on agriculture failed to push for its  extension.  


"We were let down, we were so disappointed because we were hoping that the Senate committee on agriculture would work for the extension of the ACEF. This is a let down for the smaller farmers and fisherfolks because those funds meant for them will now go back to the National Treasury," said a DA source.
