DA unveils key reform strategies for farmers and fishermen

The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Saturday (Feb. 12) unveiled the OneDA Reform Agenda featuring strategies for Filipino farmers and fishermen.

DA Undersecretary Ariel Cayanan during the OneDA sa TV program explained that first among the four pillars or strategies was consolidation.

“Ang consolidation po ay napakasimple. Ito ang pagsasama-sama at paggrupo-grupo ng hindi lamang po ang lupa at ang ating mga asset pero mas nakatuon ang pansin sa paggrupo ng mga pananim, mga hayop, pagkakalapit ng mga lugar ng mga produksiyon at iyong pagkakapareho ng mga inputs at activities,” Cayanan said.

After the consolidation strategy is modernization, industrialization, and professionalization.

Meanwhile, Cayanan also mentioned another strategy: Bayanihan Agri-Clustering.

“Ang Bayanihan Agri-Cluster ay isa pong strategy na para mahikayat ang ating maliliit na magsasaka at mangingisda na magsama-sama, maggrupo-grupo para magkaroon ng cluster ng grupo ng magsasaka at mangingisda para maibahagi sa mga pinasama-samang negosyo sa agrikultura,” Cayanan said.

“Sa tulong po ng Bayanihan Agri-Cluster, mas mapapadali natin iyong pagbibigay ng mga intervetion ng input,” he said. –PG – bny
