my honor and pcivilege to the Department of

_ Agriculture's Annual Report for 2003 and to lead the DA Family in wmmly congratulating our farm md fisheries sector for another ftuitful yeat".

Under the strong leadership of President Glozia Macapagal-Arroyo and the adrninisttatioo's firm stance against poverty and unemployment, the agriculture sector gtew by 3.n percent in 2003, surpassing the growth posted the year before. All the fout major sub-sectoa contributed to this result by recording output increases valued at P664.7 billion at cutrent ptices, representing a 6.02 percent increase in gross returns. Quite remarkably, thei;e were achieved despite the delayed passing of the El Nino in the fi.tst quarter and the massive onslaught of typhoon "Harurot" in the thitd quarter of 2003.

The resilience of the agriculrure sector in the last few yea.ra - in the face of adverse weather conditions, tight budgetary tcsoum:s, and harsh competition from other agricultw:e-bascd count:tics - is a reminder of how blessed we a.re as a people. In an incr<:asingly borderless global Jl'llltketplace, we are coping well. Indeed, the many challenges that have hounded the sector in the past ai:e gradually being overcome by the immeni;e opportunities that are opening up for us. With the many scientific breakthroughs and technologies to aid disease eradication and pest resistrutce in the field, and the imminent rise of a new breed of Filipino agriculturists, the sector ill dcady on the verge ofmodcmization, expansive development, and sustainable growth.

Let me say, however, that much of the resui:gent enei:gy that has kept agriculture alive comes from the people at the fi:ontlines -- the &mall farmetS, fishcrfolk, LGUs, service wotkers, and entrep.i:eneu.ts who sctvc as success models for every aspjring Filipino, whether they arc in the ngticultun: sectw: ot not. From small gains md lcssoÂľs learned to large increases in both yields and returns, th ey have displayed courage, diligence, persistence, positive thinking, and the btganihan spirit to tum theit lives and those of their loved oneďż˝ around.

To support the effotts of these real -life heroes, the DA has continued to implement the GinintuangMasa!,>anangAni (GMA) progmms for rice, com, high vn\ue commercial crops. livestock, and fi�hcrics. The gains that we achieved in these sectors for 2003, as detailed throughout this Annual Report, nre the offspring of our efforts to provide food on every Filipino table. In other words, these efforts, driven by a Total Systems

Aj)proach that encompasses the entire supply chain. from "seed-to-shelf''. �r "form­ to-fo:rk"; wercdclibemtely designed to transform the Filipino into a competttlve world­ class produCCr, a�d not just a con8utner of agri-based product!.

To' ensutc that these programs do not run out of steam, we fastidiously sought all available lending windows and. implemented in11ovatn•e lending schemes, the m?st effective of which is the "Sclf-Rdiant Teams" approach. Under this system, which capitalizes on the Filipinos' natural inclination to belong to an informal group, borrowers organize themselves into teams of 12-15 members and a leader lo ensure collection. We have found that this approach levels of 98% or more, but has resulted in borrowers and empowered. On the whole, some 500,000 small entrepreneurs were able to access PhP 2.70 billion worth of billion worth of guarantees

channels.

In the satnc year, we likewise launched the Strong Republic N�utical Highway, which is composed of land and sea tout es bridged by roll-on/roll-off vessels. \Ve tee this landmark project of the Arroyo administration as a simple yet effective means of providing an inexpenSNe, d1,pcndablc, and safe alternative transport of people and products from Mindanao to Luzon and back, building a stronger aml wider market network for inter-island trnde and making available to consumcts better quality anJ price for agriculture and fisheries products These and manr more initiatives are the this Philippines. While some ate de�cribed pages inevitably left out. Nonetheless, these collective efforts establish sustained growth in the agriculture sector, by creating an itrunediate·yet lasting impact on om people's lives. But more importantly, they help free us from the chains of our past, give newfound hope 1.0 our young nacio�, and allow us to 1nove on and dream of greateJ: things for future generations.
