ROOT CAUSES

Middlemen

Farmers frequently have to sell their goods to middlemen who offer them low rates, which lowers their profitability. Middlemen, on the other hand, are primarily concerned with getting the product to market as quickly as possible in order to maximize their earnings.

Limited Education Climate Change

Resulting in lower crop yields and making it more difficult for farmers to make a living, as well as hurting domestic agricultural production, consumption, and food security.

Many Filipino farmers lack formal education and training on modern farming techniques, limiting their capacity to increase output and income.

Government

Government initiatives on land reform, agrarian reform, and agricultural subsidies are poorly executed, resulting in increasing inequality and poverty among farmers.
