The Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) has significantly reduced the spread of the red-striped soft scale insect (RSSI) in sugar-producing areas across Luzon through sustained intervention and close coordination with farmers and millers. Luzon Federation of Sugarcane Growers Association (Luzonfed) president Cornelio Toreja said the group’s members are grateful for the SRA’s continuous support, which has helped keep RSSI cases at a minimal level in Batangas and other sugar-producing provinces in Luzon.
