The rainfed areas are likewise be divided into tr^'ogroups. Rainfed GrouP 1 will indudeprovinces witr average yields of less than 2.5 ton/la and rainfed harvested area of more than15,000ha while, Rainfed Group 2 provinces will cover provinces with averageyields of morethan 2.5 ton/ha and rainfed harvested area of morc than 15000 ha (Iable 5).Farmers in Group t have limited capital resources, and lands with soil and biotic problems. Theinte entions in these provinces will include the massive utilization of certthed seeds,provisionof STWs and SWPs,extension seryices, eclmical assistanceand other ISIs, including water-harvestinS and -saving technologies,among others. The provision of STWSand SwPs is erPectedto increase output in rainfed areasduring the wet season.A substantial part of theseareas canalso be irrigated during the dry seasonor rice and other hiSh-value clops.

On the other hand, average ields n Croup 2 are.alieadyquite high in contrasto GrouP1. It isassr.rmed,herefore, that farmers in the former ardas have enough capital resources or inputs,labot and equipment. Hence,only the promouon of cerhEed seed use and implementation ofInteSrated Crop Management (ICM) practices,as well as the plovision of tedmical assistancebythe LGU-AEWs, will be implemented to sustain high yield in these rainfed areas.

Table 11.Production contribution of focus and non-locrrs provinces to total ploduction andproduction increandts, 200q2010.

Table 12 presents the contribution of seed-and iEigation-related interventions to the projectedtotal palay production n 2009and 2010.The provision of seed subsidies is expected to improve the adoption level of high-qualjty seeds nirrigated and ninfed areas.Certified seed subsidy shall be provided to both irrigated and rainjedfamers, while hybrid seed subsidy shall be provided only to irrigated lamrers.The shifts in the production from certilied to hybrid seedsand from farmers'to cedified seedsare estimated to result in 1.0 on/ha and 0.50 on/ha yield advantages, espectively.Thut the seedintervention shall contribute about 18M ton and 19M ton of palay production in 2009 and 2010,respectively, In pa.rticular, target areas or hybrid production areexpectedto produce about 2.7Mton (in 2009)and 3.4M ton (in 2010) of palay in irrigated areas.For certified inbred production,irrigated and rainfed arcasare expected to produce I 1M ton and 4M ton oI palay, respectively.ln addition to seeds,he program shall also eali2e ncreasesn palayploduction due to irrigationrehabilitation and establishment of STWSand SWPS. r:l rrigated areas, he improvements in theexisting and the establishmenl ofnew irrigation facilities will result in an additional productionof appro)(imately 400,000 on of palay per year, Rainfed areas,on the other hand, will produceadditional 78,784 on and 118,175on in 2009 and 201Qrespectively,asa result of establisl1mentof water pumps and STWs(Incremental yields of 1.20 on/ha for the wet seasonand 1.75 on^afor the dry seasonwere assu&ed to be the effect SWPSand STWS).

Table 14shows that yield and area harvested are the main drivers oI production growth. Yieldhas been a more influential lactor in inseasint rice production than area harvested.From 2000to 2002 annual percnt contribution of yidd giowth to production growth ranged from about50% to more than 200%,while growth in area harvested rccorded a daximurn contribution oJapproximately 50%ordy. Negative contributions of atea harvested were evennoted in Table 14asa re$lt of decleases n the area harvested.FoJ 2009-2010. he estimated yield gror,\'thcontributions are slighdy greater than that of the areaharvested. On-ly six and four percmtage-point differences are expected between yield and areacontdbutions in 2009 and 2010, espectively.Table 14.Percent contribution of area harvested and yield to growth in production.
