Table 1. Initial Scope of CARP LAD Component by Land Type and Phase, 1991
Table 1 shows that the scope in the Department of Agrarian Reform has a total estimate
of 3.82 million hectares in order to equally distribute these lands among 1.56 million farmers and
agricultural works which was previously issued by the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council using
the 1980 Census of Agriculture (Ballesteros, Ancheta, & Ramos, 2017). Phase 1 consists of the
total area used in rice and corn lands covered under PD 27, the government financial institutions
that foreclosed the idle and abandoned lands and the land gathered by the Presidential
Commission on Good Government (Ballesteros, Ancheta, & Ramos, 2017). Phase 2 states the
dispose landed estates and settlement areas from the past land reform programs which contains
of above 50 hectares while the Phase 2 covers the 41% of the total area of agricultural farms
including the private lands with an estimate of 1.58 million hectares. (Ballesteros, Ancheta, &
Ramos, 2017).
Table 5 shows that bridges garnered the highest ratio in terms of physical infrastructure
support by the Agrarian Reform Community which has a total percentage of 64% followed by the
irrigation systems and farm-to-market roads which has a total percentage of 58.13% and 45.33%,
respectively. Table 6 shows the economic support services provided by the ARC. Unfortunately,
in marketing services, 54% do not have definite marketing outlets while 8% are members of an
organization who have forged marketing contracts or agreements. In accessibility of credits, the
highest access are the one who has been required to have livelihood loans with a total percentage
of 59% while the rest with requiring multipurpose and production loans, 5% and 38% respectively
(Guardian, 2003).
One of the support services is called Agribusiness Ventures (AVA), which another strategy
is proposed by the Department of Agrarian Reform that aims to support the development of the
sector of agriculture through the access to agribusiness venture agreements. Its objectives is to
promote tenurial security and higher income to those members of ARBs and to achieve efficient
agricultural production through optimization of the operational size of commercial farms. Different
types of AVAS includes Joint Venture Arrangement (JVA); Lease Arrangement; Contract
Growing/Growership Arrangement; Management Contract; Production, Processing, and
Marketing Agreements; and Build-Operate-Transfer-Scheme (Ballesteros, Ancheta, & Ramos,
2017).
Last support services provided by the DAR is called Sugarcane Block Farming which
formally started in the areas of sugarcanes since 2012-2013 which was conceptualized to be part
of the National Convergence Initiative of DA and DAR as well as in the Sugar Regulatory Authority
that aims to increase the productivity of its members from 60-75 tons cane per hectare through
enhancement of skills in the agribusiness management’s enterprises, to reduce their cost of
production and to create at least one agribusiness activity per block farm (Ballesteros, Ancheta,
& Ramos, 2017).
