With less than two months in office, Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar beefs up the DA’s efforts in its bid for the next administration to put premium to agriculture by investing heavily in the sector.
The creation of the National Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization and Industrialization Plan (NAFMIP), a strategic guidebook for agricultural development from 2021-2030 – which will be turned-over during the transition period – hopes to aid the succeeding administration in its agricultural decisions critical to vanquishing the brewing food crisis and attaining food sovereignty.

#MonthOfTheOcean | For this week's Four Pics, One Habitat, the answer is the PHILIPPINE RISE!---
A sprawling 24.4 million hectare undersea area, the Philippine Rise is located east of Luzon. Benham Bank, the region's shallowest portion was found to have a hundred percent coral cover as well as upwelling areas that drive nutrient-rich waters to feed marine organisms.
The area also lies along the migration path of important tuna species. In the surveys conducted by DA-BFAR from 2000 to 2016, longline tuna catch rate was highest in this area with as much as 20 tunas / 1000 hooks. Catch rates for Billfish were also highest in the region.
Based on data from the Philippine Statistics Authority for 2020, the Philippine Rise contributed a total of 3.27% to the total commercial fisheries production, and 4.55% of the total marine municipal fisheries production of the country. Moreover, the Philippine Rise accounts for 3.58% of the production of the Philippine fisheries sector.
On April 12, 2012, the United Nations (UN) Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf confirmed that the Benham Rise is part of the Philippines' continental shelf. On May 16, 2017, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte inked Executive Order (EO) 25, renaming the Benham Rise as Philippine Rise. By virtue of Proclamation No. 489 signed on May 15, 2018, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte proclaimed a portion of the Philippine Rise as the Philippine Rise Marine Resource Reserve.
Recognizing the importance and potential of the Philippine Rise, the government, through the DA-BFAR, promotes various initiatives to ensure the sustainable use of the rich abundance of the region. This includes the formation of the Philippine Rise Marine Resource Reserve Management Plan, the establishment of a Tuna Conservation Management Zone and deployment of 80 payaos or fish aggregating devices. The Bureau also seeks to strengthen collaboration with other government agencies, academe and civil society groups, as well as expand research by undertaking more oceanographic surveys to ensure the state of the Philippine Rise as a fishing ground.

agri stakeholder The chairpersons of the National Banner Program Committees (NBPCs) and Other Priority Program Committees (OPPCs) under the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (PCAF) met with Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar to discuss major agri-fishery concerns and priority programs on May 11, 2022.
“We recognize all your engagements from the private sector and civil society organizations, at kailangan na kailangan po ang partnership ninyo with the Department of Agriculture (DA). I would like to emphasize that we are not against partnerships or consultative processes. It is always a good practice,” Secretary Dar stressed during the roundtable meeting.

palay While the country’s agriculture sector posted a flat growth during the first quarter of the year (Q1 2022), the volume of production of palay and corn has slightly increased.
Based on standing crop as of February 1, 2022, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said palay production for Q1 2022 may increase to 4.64 million metric tons (MMT), 0.2 percent (%) more than the harvest in Q1 2021.
Likewise, PSA said the estimated corn production may increase to 2.46 MMT, 0.7% higher than the yield in Q1 2021.
“The country’s palay and corn harvests, including the production of vegetables, high value crops, fisheries, poultry, and livestock could have been more, as projected gains were reduced by Typhoon Odette which hit the country in December 2021, and affected then newly-planted crops and harvested during Q1 of this year,” said Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar.
