Basis of economic development
Agriculture occupies an
important place in the
development of an
economy. It is in fact, a
pre-condition for
economic up-liftment.
Results in an inadequate
water supply during the
dry season and exacerbates
damage to crops, fisheries,
and rural infrastructures as
a result of typhoons and
increasing flooding during
wet season.
Low Productivity
-land productivity in the
Limited Connectivity
- Lack of quality rural transport,
particularly farm-to-market roads,
discourages farmers from increasing
production.
- Adaption by farmers, particularly
smallholders, of new and valueadding technologies has been slow
due to the lack of access to
information on production
technologies.
As a consequence,
farmers knowledge of
diversified farming
technologies is limited,
and market linkages
remain weak.
Weak Resilience
- Highly vulnerable to climate change-related risks
(flood, typhoons, and droughts) which can cause
severe erosion, given certain soil, vegetation, and
slope conditions.
Services include:
-construction and operation
and maintenance of farmto-market roads
-small-scale irrigation
systems
-other rural infrastructure
(remains incomplete due to
the technical and financial
constraints facing LGUs
and incompatible priorities
between them and national
agencies.)
