In recent decades, the agriculture and
fisheries sector in the Philippines has grown but has
clearly not lived up to its potential. Philippine
agriculture has weathered the impact of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic better than the overall national
economy. Recent government reports highlight the difficulty
of modernizing Philippine agriculture under circumstances in
which farmland is continuously fragmented, institutional
arrangements for farm-to-market coordination and
distribution are underdeveloped, and large parts of the food
economy experience significant logistical bottlenecks and
costs. This report combines results from three activities
undertaken from mid-2020 to the first months of 2021. This
report has five chapters. Chapter 2 reviews recent policy
developments and some current priorities of the Department
of Agriculture (DA). Chapter 3 describes the spatial
analysis, highlighting the differences in agriculture’s
transformative potential in different regions of the
country. Given that spatial strategies are a relatively new
departure in Philippine agriculture, Chapter 4 draws on
experience at the national and subnational levels of other
Asian countries to derive positive lessons for implementing
them in the Philippines. |
