DA tackles more reform agendas, discusses ABCs

The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Sunday (Feb. 13) resumed their explanation of their OneDA Reform Agenda, citing a core strategy, industrialization of agriculture and fisheries sector.

The industrialization strategy aims to quicken agricultural development in the country through connectivity and agricultural production, infrastructure, and market linkages.

“[Ang industriyalisasyon ay nagpapalawak ng mga oportunidad sa agri-negosyo sa pamamagitan ng pag-uugnay sa mga lugar ng produksyon ng agri-fishery sa mga industriya ng pagproproseso at pagmamanupaktura, sa gayon, lumilikha ng higit pang mga produktong may halaga, mga pagkakataon sa kabuhayan at trabaho, a tinitiyak ang mga kita para sa lahat ng manlalaro sa food supply chain,” DA Undersecretary Ariel Cayanan said.

“Binibigyan diin natin dito sa industrialization are the value-added activities. Nandito na po iyong processing, harnessing of the raw material na hindi po sila naaabuso na mababa ang farm price,” he said.

In the processing, more jobs will be added meaning not only farmers and fishermen will benefit but also other laborers under the agricultural and fisheries sector.

Meanwhile, Cayanan also talked about Agri Industrial Business Corridors (ABCs).

The ABCs aims to provide smallholder farmers and fisherfolk access to resources, including state-of-the-art production technology, hatcheries and nurseries, capital, and value-adding facilities.

“[Ito] ang pagsasama-sama ng mga pamumuhunan, mga balangkas ng patakaran, at mga lokal na institusyon na may partikular na lugar upang mabigyan ang mga magsasaka at mangingisda ng access sa mga mapagkukunan ng kanilang pangangailangan.” – PG – bny
