U

rulertheinspiredleadershipofPresidem:Gloria.Maca.pagal: Arroyo, the year 2001 has been a very productive and remarkable year for theDepartment of Agriculture. I feel honoredtopresentthisReportbecauseitchroaiclesforpost:eritythe modestachievements and signifu:aru:gains madebythe farming and fishing sector during my fimyear in offuz. Andindeed,it has been a fulfilling, yet challenging year, steering the sector towards modernization and progress.

Allthefuur sul,..secrors-crops,livestock,poultry,andfishery, have significantly expanded. contributing to a remarkable overall growth of 4.01 percent for the whole sect0r, replicating the 4.02 percent growth regisreredin 2000.

I acknowledge God's hand in making all these things possible. But I believe a dCCWve factor for thissuccess is the bani. work,unity,commitment and foresight ofOrdin ary mr,nals like us who all hold a common stake in the advancement ofour fannandfuhing indwtries.

Through the Ginlntuang Masaganang Alli-Countrywide Assistance for Rural Employment and Services orGMA CARES,we have accelerated theidem::ificaionandestablishmentof sp ecial agricultural and fisheries development zones or SAFDZ,ia whichDA support projects are now concentrated.

Irrigation and other basic rural infrmructure are being set up,rehabilitated and expanded.

Innovative credit and firumcing schemes have betln launched to encourage financial institutlOns,cooperatives and non-government organizations to help finance viable f arm projects with low-inten:st loans and without the need fur collaternl.

But to me, the most important thing we have attained so f.u- is our deliberat.e shift in focus of modernization - from mere production efficiencies to the nobbler goals of equitable growth, farmer empowerment and poverty reduction.

HI tons, was 4.56 percent higher than the 2000 recOrd. The improved production performance was due to increases in area harvested and yield this year. Favornble weather conditions and use of certified seeds through the DAI NFA assistance pack11ge program also contributed to this growth. This year's corn productionreached4.53rnillionmetrictons, OJ I percent higher than in 2000, attributed to improved yield performance.

Sugarcancproductionwas9.88pcrccnt higher this year. This was attributed to the use of high yielding varietie:. in Central Luzon. favorable weather conditions. and massivt:shifiingfrom cornandrubberto sugarcane in Northern Mindanao.

Livestock production also expanded by 2.87 percent with dairy posting the biggest growth at 5.78 percent followed by hog at 4.40 percent. Cattle and goat prod11ction decreased by 3.83 percent and 0.83 percent, respectively. The decline in caUle production was attributed to lower slaughtering of animals which was the rest1lt of the "mad cow disease scare'" during the first quarter of the year and decline in importation of feedlot nnimals.

e. Marketing Assistance Better access to markets means higher incomes for fanncrs and fisherfolk.

More importantly, a stable market for inputsand outputs would encourage more investments in the agriculture and fisheries sector.

For the period, we conducted/ participated in 34 national/regional trade fairs; 15 market matching cncounl�rs/ linkages; 7 selling missions/exhibitt;;and 3 road shows/ caravans to market agricultural products; and 11 farmers congresses. f. Research and Development Our aims of increasi11g al,\ricultural productivity and increasing competitiveness requirc that we develop the appropriate technologies that will allow our fanners and fisherfolk to increase their yields, produce world-class agricultural products, and diversify into more productive endeavors. Our research and development efforts must therefore be made responsive to lhe

3. AFMA Budget

i. National Informatim1 Network

For us to succcc:d in modernizing the agriculture and fisheries sector and improving lhe qualityoflife of the small farmers and lisherfolk, we must ensure the support and participation of all stakelmlders.

To do this, we have initiated activities for the establishment ofthe DA Private Network/Personal Earth Stations in remote stations (NIN satellites). The system is expected to be operational by June2002.

In addition, activities for the in�tallalion of local area networks (LANs) i n DA Bureaus, Attached Agencies (AAs), and Regional Offices have commenced. We have'eomplded the cabling installation at DA-OSEC while the instnllmion at Bureaus/AAs is ongomg.

We have also completed the proposal for the DA Intranet Database and npp Iicatlott systems covering five ( 5) pilot �ystems. Further, the Department launchedand regularly mainttins/updates the DA Web/Home Page. Likewise, an

As of31 December 2001, the amount available for AFMA is P29,75l million. Of this, P 8,854 million were released to DA ofwhich P7,765 million(88%) had been obligated as of3! December 2001.

The P17,!44 million are allocated by the GF!s while the remaining P3, 753 million are the DBM releases to other government agencies. While total available amount already exceeds the targeted 1'20,000 million, there are.componj!nts which are sti!! short of funding based on AFMA targets: R&D(P854 million); NIN (P720 million); Salary Supplement for LGU extension workers (P865 million); NAl'ES (P991 million) and Rural NCm-Farm Employment Training(P334 million).

Of the total available AFMA budget, P24,207 million had been utilized with Pl 0,266 million obligated by agencies and Pl3,940million actually released by GFis for credit and guarantee. However, there is low availmeut ofl,,BP credit assistance forinfras(ructurcand postharvestfacilities due to difficulty of LGUs to put up counterpart funds and !ow absorptive capacity of cooperatives.

The OMA Corn Program also adopted th e balanced fertilization strategy in improving farm productivity through the conduct of 12,926,soil analys es and the distribution of about 18,700 bags of lim e , 4,709 bags of inorganic and 5,090 bags of organic fertilizer.

Since the utilization ofhybrid seeds is already an acc epte d practice among corn farm e rs, majority of them already purchase hybrid seeds dir e ctly from private seed growers. The DA, through the Quedancor, only provides guarantee funds to encourage private seed growers to maintain a steady supply ofcom hybrid seeds. The DA also provided assistance to the marginal a reas through the distribution Df 14,291 bags of OPV seeds.

3. High Value Commercial Crops Under the High Value Commercial Crops (HVCC) Program, the DA c<Jordinated with the local governme nt ofMantalongon, Dalaguetc, Cebu for the establishment ofco!dchainsystems.

To increase the income offisherfolk, three municipal fish ports and two ice plant and cold storage facilities were completed this year. Eleven more of these postharvest facilities are being constructed. Further, some 8,300 fisherfolk were benefited through the implementation of the Integrated Livelihood Program.

S. Livestock The Multi-Livestock Development Loan Program (MLDLP) financed 2,496 animals (ca1tle, carabao, and swine) benefiting 1,266 clients. In addition, 59,182 animals (cattle, carabao, small ruminants, swine, poultry and horse) were distributed to formers, LGUs, and DA facilities, under tbe Barangay Livestock Breeding Loan Program (BLBLP).

In addition, eight a battoirs were established while five meat processing centers were established/maintained About4mi!lion liters ofmilk val�ed �t ��51,793.00 were produced by mdiv1dual frumers ruid dairy cooperatives, b ulk of the production were by the ve a d b 4 ���r:;:� :e�: t ���;;tc t�: ·:!: Department's Milk Feeding Program, which is actually a marketing strategy adopted by the GMA Livestock Program.

parts and inputs that were imported duty­ free by agriculture and fisheries enterprises. For year 2001, the Department of Finance (DOF) reports that some P627.5 millionworth of duties were waived on imported inputs. An interagcncy committee composed of the DA, DOF, National Economic and Development A uthority (NEDA), Department ofTrade and Industry (DT[), Board oflnvestments (BO!), Bureau of Customs (SOC) and TariffCommission is currently reviewing tbe guidelines for the implementation of the program aswcl! as the list of articles included. Tl1ree public hearings were conducted by the Tariff Commission in 200 I (one each in June, October and November), the results ofwhich are now being discussed i11 the Tariff and Related Matters (TRM) Committee.

3. Biotechnology The DA initiated the formulation of n Policy Statement on M odern Biotechnology and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to address the current debate and issues affecting the use of modern biotechnology. This resulted in the issuance of a Policy Statement on Modem Biotechnology and

GMOs by President Gloria Macapagal­ Arroyo last 16 July 2001. The Policy Statemel1t promotes the safe and responsible use of modem biotechnology and its products as one of the several means to achieve and sustain food security, equitable access to health services, sustainable and safe environment, and industry development.

To support the establishment of a regulatory system for the use of modern biotechnology, the DA has embarked on initiatives that will strengthen the domestic capability of DA regulatory agencies. The Department, through the Philippine Agriculture and Fisheries Biotechnology Program, has released funds to the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), Bureau of Animal Industry(BAl) and National Meat Inspection Commission(NMIC). The funds will be usedto upgradolaborotoryfacilitiCs for rapid and more accurate detection of pests and diseases and eventually attain intemationalaccreditation oncertification services.

Relative to the continuing re­ negotiations i n the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Philippines participated in the Fourth Session ofthe Ministerial Conference on 9-13 November 2001 in Doha. Qatar.. The final text of the Ministerial Declaration reflectedthemajor elem8Jlts identified in theDA position:e.g." ... substantial improvements in market access: reductions of, with a view to phasing out, all forms of export subsidies; and substantialreductions in trade-distorting domestic support." The principle of Special and Differential Treatment for developing countries as an integral part of the WTO Agreements was also reaffirmed in the MinisterialDeclaration.

TheMinisters aJsoagreedto clarifyand improve WTO disciplines on fisheries subsidies ,..._taking into account the importance Of the sector to developing countries.

However, the hierarchyofobjectives among the three pillars of the agreement

14 llcpartmcni ufAgrk11ttun· ·•

on agdeulture, as envisioned by theDA andstakeholders,was notadoptedbythe WTO Ministers. Likewise, the DA concerns with respect to non-trade concerns in the negotiations were not addressed. b. Canned Tona lnue The European Union (EU) tied the Doha Ministerial Declaration to the Col:Oflou(Lome)waiver involvingduty­ free imports of canned tuna from African,Caribbean andPacific(ACP) countries. The EU dangled the preferential treatment to get ACP countries to support its bid for the launching ofanewround ofnegotiations.

The Philippines opposed the waiver bid citing the disadvantage faced by Philippine canned tuna exports to EU which is slapped a 24% duty. Only Thailandjoined the oppositionbutthe persistenccofthePhilippinespaidoff as EU relented and agreed to address the issuebyholding consultationswithaview toa settlementbyApril2002.

As a result of the President's visit to the United States, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a $100 million GSM !02 Export Credit Guarantee Program and is arranging another $50 million facilities guarantee program for the Philippines.

Arrangements are being finalized for a $40 million US Public Law480 (PL480) Concessional Food Commodity Loan and also a S40 million Section 416 Commodity Grant. USDA Secretary An11 Veneman n!so assured President Arroyo that the USDA Animal andPlant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will be responsive in assisting thePhilippines in its request for the entry of fresh bananas and pineapples, given their export potential of$120 million. Focus will also be given to expand approved areas for the entry ofPhilippine mangoes, another potential source of revenues estimated at$50mi!lion.

During this visit, Philippine DA Secretary Leonardo Montemayor and USDA Secretary Veneman also signed a Memorandum of Agreement to renew and expand activities involving wide ranging scientific, technological and agribusiness cooperntion. Funher, Secretary Montemayor and Mr. Quentin Kelly, CEO and Chair of Wor!dwatcr Corporation signed a Lenerof111tentfor an irrigation project initiative in the Philippines, including areas in Southern Mindanao.

In addition, a $302,500 grant fund from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency has been approved and a $302,50D matching fund from Worldwater was cornmittedford1econductofafeasibi!ity study for the $52 million project entitled "Appropriate Irrigation Technologies for Enhanced AgrkulturalProduction." The

Project includes solar powered water supply and irrigation systems. for high value crops and in areas with no electricity. TheProjectwill also develop irrigation facilities in 5 key agricultural zones; develop new water sources; replace some diesel/gasoline pumps with solar pumps; provide improved irrigation technologies; develop financial delivery mechanisms; and provide capacity building. d. Bilateral Agrecmenh The DA signed the following bilateral agreements to further develop and promote international relations and strengthen technical cooperation in agriculture and other related fields: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Fisheries Cooperation between the Philippines and Indonesia. The MOU covers marine capture fisheries; prevention, combating and elimination ofillegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing; aquaculture; post-harvest development; coastal fisheries management; maririe fisheries conservation; research activities; and education and training;
