INTRODUCTION

The Department of Agriculture committed to the full implementation oftheAgriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) as the government's comprehensive framework and platform for rural development. This is aimed at attaining the twin goals ofsustained food security and poverty alleviation within the medium term.

Agricultural modernization holds the key to achieve the goals of food security, reduce rural povert y, and global competitiveness in agriculture. Modernizing agriculture basically requires addressing the constraints plaguing the sector -for decades. More specifically, this means providing timely and sufficient government support for private sector investments in agriculture-based activities. It also means creating a policy environment suppor tive of increased competitiveness and private sector investments in agriculture. Finally, there is a need to diversify production by encouraging and promoting the most efficient use ofrcsources. This, in turn, would ensure optimal retums for the farmers and fishers from their land and labor.

IL PERFORMANCE OF THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR' ValueofProd11ctii111

Agricultt1re posted a 3.52% growtli with a gross value o-f P249.68 billion (Table l). The crops s11bscctor grossed P l30.22 billion, indicating a3.73% increase from the 1 999 level, which was driven by the production performance of palay, coconut and banana. 'fhese crops chalked up output increases L'f 5.11 %, 14.52% and 7.40%. respectively. The livestock subsector continued to perform well as it produced 2.96% more output than in 1999 with production valued at P35.16 billion. The poultry subscctor recorded a healthy performance at P36.38 billion and attained n 5.74% gain in output this year because of increases in prices and production of chicken. The value of fisl1erics production reached P47.91 billion, representing nn increaseofl.74%. (See Appendices [.5 fordetai!s) Table 1.

III. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND INITIATIVES A, Commodity Programs !n support to the President's food security and poverty alleviation progrnm, the DA's Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Program aims to achieve sustained self-sufficiency in rice by 2003 and fish by 2004. It also calls for the rationalization of support for the high [smwth of livestock industry, intensification ofhigh value crops rroduction to campctitivc standards,and implementation ofspecial programs to revitalize the abaca and coconut subsedors to regain competitive edge and prominence inworldagricullurnltrade.

Coocretely, the management doubled the rate of incentive allowance granted to LGU extension workers. Likewise, policies that would enhance the teclmical aspects ofthe Program are now being implemented, to wit: Focu,ing the productionofccrtificd seedstofivcofthcmost suitablevarieties in the region and province; Mobilizing the seed-growers to form regional federations in order to optimize their re­ sources and c11hancc seed matching with rice farmers; and iii Accelerating the implementation ofthe Rice Hybrid Program activities Agrikulttmmg MakuftJASA Corn Program The Agrik11flllr(mg MrrkaMASA Corl/ Prowam endeavors to increase productivity and pro­ duction of quality corn for human rnnsumption, feeds n11d i11dustria! uses.

Post harvest facilities were <lislributed in Visayas and Mindanao: 46 units ofrccirculating mechanical dryers (MlJs); 24 units of multi-purpose drying pavement(MPDPs); 17 units ofmechanical corn she!lers; and 7 units of mechanical com harvesters. Meanwhile, a total of28 agri-fairs were conducted in various re­ gions. The fairs were highlighted v,ith open-fora, market linkages, food demonstrations an<l showcasing of technologies.

On the implementation of the National Integrated ROE Agenda l'rognun (NlRDEAP), 161 new projects were approved. Of these, only 22 projects were funded since the P31)0 M grant ,1llm:illio11 was not releruied by DBM. However, 47 high-impact projects, npproved in 1999, ,.vere fonded this year. On other hand; there were30 projects reviewed and funded under the implerncntntion of tile Regional lnlegrated RDE Agenda Program (JURDEAP).
