Increased food production, agri modernization key thrtusts of new DA chief Newly-appointed agriculture secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel, Jr. today (06 November 2023) said his priority is to increase food production and modernize agriculture, a major pillar of the Philippine economy. He said the marching order of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. is to modernize agriculture so the country could be food secure, less dependent on imports and lift millions of farmers and fisherfolk out of poverty by the time his term ends. Agriculture accounts for about 10 percent of the Philippine economy but employs one in every four Filipinos. Data show that more than 10 millions farmers and fisherfolk are poor and many of them are approaching their senior years, posing a potential food crisis in the next decade.

agri news ph
“By modernizing the agriculture sector, we could make it a more profitable venture and attract a younger generation that would ensure the country’s food security in the decades to come,” Laurel said. Aside from boosting food production and modernization, the new DA chief said President Marcos, Jr. told him to pay special attention to alleged price manipulation and smuggling to ensure stable supply and prices and to protect Filipino consumers. Towards this end, he said the DA will coordinate and work closely with relevant law enforcement agencies to apprehend and prosecute those engaged in illegal trade.
Agriculture helps GDP growth, DA moves to ensure larger share The growth of the farm sector in the third quarter is a clear signal that the Department of Agriculture (DA) needs to step up efforts to significantly increase food production and modernize the sector that provides jobs for one in every four Filipinos. The Philippine Statistics Authority announced Thursday (November 9, 2023) that gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced in the country during a certain period, rose a faster 5.9 percent in the third quarter from 4.3 percent in the second quarter, with agriculture contributing 0.08 percentage points to GDP as it expanded 0.9 percent in the third quarter.
“While we’re thankful that agriculture continues to contribute to economic growth, we shouldn’t be satisfied with its share in expanding gross domestic product given its role in ensuring food security, creating jobs and reducing poverty,” Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said. “Everyone in the Department of Agriculture should start rolling up their sleeves, myself especially, to ensure that the farm sector could produce more as we carry out President Marcos’ mandate to modernize agriculture,” he added.

DA wants to boost coconut industry productivity to benefit millions of farmers The Department of Agriculture (DA) is looking at massive coconut planting and replanting to boost production of a sector that accounts for more than a third of the country’s agricultural exports and source of livelihood for millions of Filipinos. “The Philippines needs to embark on increasing productivity through the cultivation of quality planting materials like [coconut] hybrids and varieties with superior traits,” Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel, Jr. told the inaugural International Scientific Conference on Research and Development held Monday at the University of the Philippines’ campus in Los Banos, Laguna. The Philippines is the world’s second largest coconut producer, next only to Indonesia, but is the world’s top exporter, shipping overseas around 70 percent of output.
32
agri news ph
Top coconut exports include crude and refined coconut oil, desiccated coconut, copra meal, and coconut water. Around 3.5 million Filipino farmers nurture coconut plantations that cover about 3.6 million hectares across the country Of the Philippines’ 82 provinces, 68 are coconut producers, with Davao Oriental as the biggest producer. The Philippine Coconut Authority had said the coconut industry increased export value in 2022 to USD3.2 billion. Laurel announced DA support for market-driven initiatives to boost coconut production and benefit farmers.
Prisoners to reap benefits of joint DA and DOJ Project The pilot technology demonstration farms developed by inmates in the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm (IPPF) in Palawan will be ready for harvest next month, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said on Friday. Since July, at least 70 inmates, or Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs), were trained in the production of high-value crops and rice through the DA and Department of Justice (DOJ) Reformation Initiative for Sustainable Environment for Food Security or DAxDOJ RISE Project.
The Project’s Phase 1 is being implemented with private sector partners who share government’s vision for sustainable agriculture.
The 4.5-hectare demo farm in Iwahig is expected to yield 96.8 metric tons of rice, watermelon, melon, eggplant, tomatoes, red chili pepper, pole sitao, cucumber, okra, squash, patola, ampalaya, and sweet corn in December with an estimated gross income of P7.3 million. Planting season was from August to September.
Through this project, the complementary goals of DA and BuCor on food security and reformation of PDLs, respectively, are being realized.
Proceeds from the farm will be used by the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) to expand its agricultural development activities by using idle lands to support government’s food security campaign.
Meanwhile, the Project’s Phase 2, covering at least 500 hectares, has already started with the training of 50 PDLs for cashew production. They will use 30 hectares of BuCor land for the project.
