FOREWORD

The Agricultural Indicators System (AIS) is one of the statistical indicator frameworks maintained by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). As part of the continuing efforts of the PSA to improve its products and services, the coverage of the AIS was reviewed to rationalize releases, merge related indicators and package these into reports with more emphasis on statistics and indicators related to the development of the agriculture sector. The AIS now comprises of eight (8) modules which will be updated and released annually. These modularreports provide measures for assessing socio-economic changes in theagriculture sector, characterizing the agrarian structure of the economyand situating agriculture in the national economy.

This is the first module entitled Government Support in the Agriculture Sector. It presents information on the various extension services provided by the government to the agriculture and agrarian reform sector. Specifically, this module contains information on irrigation development in the country, credit needs of the agriculture sector and the financial institutions providing agricultural loans, accomplishment of Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) relative to the hectarage of land distributed and registered including the number of agrarian reform beneficiaries, government expenditure in the agriculture and agrarian reform sector and government intervention in palay/rice marketing. The reference years are 2015 to 2019.

The PSA would like to acknowledge the National Irrigation Administration, Agricultural Credit Policy Council, Department of Agrarian Reform, Department of Budget and Management, and the National Food Authority for providing the basic data on this module.

Irrigation Development and Types of Irrigation System

Indicators on irrigation development allow the measurement of the extent of enhancement in the use of agricultural lands in the country. Indicators are shown in terms of the rate of growth of service areas provided with irrigation system over the years and the types of irrigation system used. Irrigation Development refers to the ratio of the area that was developed altogether by National Irrigation Administration (NIA), other government agencies and private sectors as against the potential irrigable area expressed in percentage.

The total service area developed at 1.97 million hectares corresponded to 63.0 percent of the estimated total irrigable area of 3.13 million hectares.

The levels of irrigation development were highest in Central Visayas at 98.0 percent and CAR at 90.1 percent and least in BARMM at 31.6 percent (Table 1b).

Over the period 2015 to 2019, the National Irrigation System (NIS) was the major provider of irrigation covering an average of 45.5 percent of the country’s aggregate service area. An average of 35.5 percent was operated by the Communal Irrigation System (CIS), 9.8 percent by the Private Irrigation System (PIS) and 9.2 percent by Other Government Agencies (OGA).

NIS was the primary source of water in Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN and BARMM while it was CIS for Central Visayas, CAR and Bicol Region (Table 1c).

Land Distribution and Registration

The year-on-year rate of accomplishment of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) denotes the rate of transfer of arable land to the ownership of qualified farmer-beneficiaries. This can serve as an indicator of the results of the government’s efforts to improve the quality of life of the farmers and promote agriculture and rural growth development.

Figure 1: Average Percentage Share of Service Area by Type of Irrigation System, Philippines, 2015-2019

In 2019, the country’s total service area provided with irrigation system reached 1.97 million hectares. It increased yearly by an average of 3.3 percent for the period 2015 to 2019.

CALABARZON and MIMAROPA Region reported the biggest expansion in service area averaged at 7.4 percent and 6.7 percent, respectively (Table 1a).



11 2

In 2019, DAR had distributed and registered a total of 23,534 hectares of agricultural lands to qualified farmers and farm workers, indicating an accomplishment rate of 0.4 percent of the revised CARP national target scope at 5.43 million hectares.

Highest accomplishment rates in land distribution and registration were reported in Western Visayas at 0.8 percent, SOCCSKSARGEN at 0.8 percent and Bicol Region at 0.7 percent (Tables 2a and 2b).

DAR through CARP benefitted a total of 20,621 Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARB) in 2019. Majority of the ARBs were located in Western Visayas and SOCCSKSARGEN (Table 2c).

From 1972 to 2019, the cumulative accomplishment of the program in land distribution and registration reached 4.82 million hectares of agricultural lands, representing 88.8 percent of the national revised target scope of 5.43 million hectares. Ten regions had cumulative accomplishment rate of more than 90.0 percent of their respective regional target scope.

Total number of ARBs from 1972 to 2019 summed up to 2,887,914 throughout the country.

Agricultural Production Loans

Indicators on agricultural credit provide information on the credit needs of the farmers and fisherfolks in financing their production activities and the extent of loans provided by the different financial institutions. These are important information for planners and policy makers to support the implementation of credit programs and policies geared towards achieving development of the agricultural sector.

Of the total amount of loans, about 55.9 percent or PhP 414.99 billion was allocated for agricultural production purposes, higher by 9.5 percent from the 2018 loan (Table 3a).

By source, the private banking institutions continued as the biggest providers

of agricultural production loans with a share of 79.0 percent while the

remaining 21.0 percent came from the credit assistance offered by

government banks.

In 2019, the agriculture, fisheries and forestry loans granted to farmers and fisherfolks amounted to PhP 741.79 billion, indicating a slower increase of 6.8 percent compared to the previous years’ growth rates.

Figure 2: Growth Rate of Agricultural Production Loans, 2015-2019



The volume of loans provided by government banks increased at a slower pace by 14.0 percent.

Private banks recovered from the reduction in their volume of lendings in 2018 and improved by 8.4 percent in 2019. In particular, the Private Commercials Banks showed an increased credit extension by 9.0 percent (Table 3d).

Government Expenditure in the Agriculture and Agrarian Reform Sector

The indicator on the government expenditure in the agriculture and agrarian reform sector provides information on how much is being allocated and spent to support the development needs of the sector.

Expenditure of the national government in 2019 totalled PhP 3.66 trillion. In particular, the government expenditure in the agriculture and agrarian reform sector amounted to PhP 133.71 billion, up by 9.5 percent from the previous year’s level. This amount shared 3.7 percent in the total national government expenditure (Table 4).

Government Procurement and Distribution of Palay/Rice

The government plays an important role in the marketing of palay/rice through its procurement and distribution programs. Procurement refers to the volume of government purchases directly from the farmers and farmers’ organizations or cooperatives at a set support price to ensure market to accommodate farmer produce and enable farmers a fair return on production investment. On the other hand, distribution by the government in the market is through direct selling to different accredited market outlets such as accredited retailers, government agencies or private institutions and others.

In 2019, the country’s palay procurement increased to 733,936 metric tons, nearly twelve times higher than the 2018 level. The biggest volumes of palay procurement were reported in Central Luzon, MIMAROPA Region and Cagayan Valley (Table 5a).

The government’s rice distribution totaled to 723,125 metric tons, higher by 22.5 percent from the previous year’s record. NCR had the biggest rice distribution, followed by Central Luzon and CALABARZON. It was least in Caraga.

FOREWORD

The Agricultural Indicators System (AIS) is one of the statistical indicator frameworks maintained by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). As part of the continuing efforts of the PSA to improve its products and services, the coverage of the AIS was reviewed to rationalize releases, merge related indicators and package these into reports with more emphasis on statistics and indicators related to the development of the agriculture sector. The AIS now comprises of eight (8) modules which will be updated and released annually. These modular reports provide measures for assessing socio-economic changes in the agriculture sector, characterizing the agrarian structure of the economy and situating agriculture in the national economy.

This is the first module entitled Government Support in the

Agriculture Sector. It presents information on the various extension services provided by the government to the agriculture and agrarian reform sector. Specifically, this module contains information on irrigation development in the country, credit needs of the agriculture sector and the financial institutions providing agricultural loans, accomplishment of Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) relative to the hectarage of land distributed and registered including the number of agrarian reform beneficiaries, government expenditure in the agriculture and agrarian reform sector and government intervention in palay/rice marketing. The reference years are 2015 to 2019.

The PSA would like to acknowledge the National Irrigation

Administration, Agricultural Credit Policy Council, Department of Agrarian Reform, Department of Budget and Management, and the National Food Authority for providing the basic data on this module.
