0:17 okay so this uh almost um i will be discussing an overview of the philippine agriculture as part of our uh lesson on a draft introduction to agriculture now you will be somewhat sharp you know but who goodlines right so the philippine agriculture today and the future one of the thing that i chose to present is some a presentation made by secretary manny pinol secretary
1:11 [Music] i really like this presentation so the mission is to have an available and affordable food for the philippine people sabinee president 30 it is my moral obligation to provide available and affordable food for my people to make food available farmers and pizza pops must produce enough poor 105 million filipinos i believe
1:58 105 100 million filipinos in a country with a population growth of 1.9 percent every year now and to make food affordable because the production must be brought down while the income earning capacity of the people must be raised statements these are practically doesn't uh translate into
2:45 [Music] favorable results no so this is the reality from the d.a secretary former day secretary himself we are a country of ironies
3:38 the philippines has six months of reigns maybe but after three months of dry spell we cry another thing the philippines is ranked number five among the world's countries with the longest shoreline
4:24 by buying at 39 285 kilometers but we are not the top fisheries aqua and marine products producer we are ranked number five among the world countries with longest shoreline almost 40 000 kilometers but we are not the top fisheries aqua and marine products producer in fact we still import some fisheries and marine products and our fingerlings for the national fish vamos and shrimps any important
5:14 rice rice is our staple food and the foremost research body for the crop the international rice research yeah we are one of the biggest importers of price in the world there are 247 large rivers in the country thousands tributaries creeks springs watershed areas and rich aquifers but only 1.4 million of the estimated 3.1 million hectares planted to rice are served by irrigation water
6:00 with georgian here's another thing the philippines is a land of verdant planes burden fields having burdened pills you know at good poor rich in natural resources and last vegetation ideal for animal feeds but we are heavy importer of deep and 99 of dairy and milk requirements come from foreign lands wow look at this top south east asian markets for u.s dairy ingredients
6:46 and [Music] 421 [Music] 800 metric tons nine percent malaysia twelve percent for forty eight thousand metric tons then vietnam 20 no 421 which is 87 000 metric tons followed by indonesia 21 and look at that philippines as uh
7:31 32 percent almost one third in the market non-us is a pilipinas and i put in the global thailand is only six percent well in a word everywhere poor 421 800 metric tons of us dairy ingredients are exported to southeast asia ayan philippines and and three portopios dairy increases to the region why can't we produce our own myth and another thing the country has a land so fertile
8:18 that one israeli agriculturist once said that the philippines could produce enough food to feed the world and see so wide and ireland so beautiful we could not even get the exact number from our island yet the poorest sector of society are in farming and fisheries here are the diagnosis
9:29 [Music] these are places which indicate the kind of mindset filipinos have we always look up to heavens for our salvation from poverty we always hope that one day the blessing would fall from the heavens and bring relief to our sufferings as a filipina even without hard work so it is a twisted site in agriculture and fisheries this mindset is reflected at how we lap up
10:14 every new product and idea presented to us in glowing anecdotes and narratives as a priceless source of protein and the first recipients of the breeding materials from overseas did not even want to share it [Music]
11:33 supposedly because it promised a rich source of biodiesel which would earn millions for farmers it ended up as a big plaque and earned the anger and ira farmers who felt they were dupe a list of expensive but fruitless experiment is long cotton what else asian carp that's a passive river [Music]
12:19 and many others the endemic and native products which the philippines could offer to the world and the manitoba market have been neglected sometimes even forgotten [Music] then the philippines used to be number one in coconut thailand has overtaken us in many stores in the united states of america coconut products from thailand are sold is endemic to the philippines but we have neglected the product and now
13:06 ecuador which got its planting materials from the philippines is fast driving its abaca development program is our national fish but we are importing our fingerlings taiwan worse we are losing the foreign market to them when our bongos is described as foreign buyer by foreign buyers as best in quality vegas the aromatic rice found only in the philippines has been developed by thailand
13:52 and now marketed worldwide as jasmine rice worse they have claimed the brand name as theirs oyan [Music] seaweeds tuna shrimps crabs and dried peas are high value products the philippines could excel in but this sectors have largely been
14:39 left by government to fend for themselves pork chicken beef and ducks are often for other high volume but this the philippines could produce in great volume because of the availability of crop of feed materials grains copra or capra meal piecemeal oyster and seashells molasses and hay but we are importing this from other countries here are input graphics value of production in philippine agriculture and pistories
15:25 second quarter of 2021 you're seeing the 2018 prices as constant we're down by negative 1.5 percent all agriculture crops is up by three point one but livestock is down by negative nineteen point three percent poultry is up by two point five and p series is down and aha i live stock now current prices um agriculture 503.3 billion is up at 7.2 percent crops is uh upwards of one one point nine
16:12 then livestock apple poll three thirteen point nine up up abner um at current prices current prices are 28 down but at current prices why because young prices can say inflation right so percent distribution of value production again constant prices uh economics is three years ago or two years ago so anyway these are from
16:57 philippine statistics authority what else so this again is uh young another view this bigger view right yeah down down down not a good indication portraying pressure is down and 21 prices is another view no we're below ground yeah like a problem
17:43 our livestock industry right again here these are some of the plans in transforming philippine agriculture most notably here is the industrialization of consolidation modernization industrialization and professionalization in anything that will happen to you in the next three or four years the topic professionalization where you will be having an agricultural career education young youth and women engagement and doing business ease of doing business so
18:34 there are what they call a farming system this one is produced provided by foreign firm but this is a the farming system nadine you have the traditional you know you have the semi-commercial either it is a cropping system or mix cropping young cropping system could be rice based root crop based or grain legume based it's been single mono cropping it mixed system is ugly silvic cultural system silver pastural system and aggro silver pastural system so mem incorporated the
19:20 animals this pastoral is pasture then you have the full commercial system perennial crops or livestock plantation farm agriculture history uh thousands of hectares something goes up and down and celebs what is sustainable agriculture agricultural production will depend on the automation technology and agriculture and resource optimization
20:06 and resource on resources includes land labor water chemicals which chemicals could be fertilizers of pesticides so agricultural production it could either be food food production animal production or crop production would need the understanding now industry energy and the climate weather and geographic effects you know and then the same thing with animals you know they are dependent on these three industry energy and the stable superior market energy sampling young energy more power
20:52 at the epic effect on climate um crops and animals like in it and then finally agricultural production would deal with the food food production and processing quality control storage and distribution if we are going to uh come up with a very good drawing or understanding of farming editorial need to focus your attention on the totality parameter sustainable and every business
21:59 so small scale new business ideas could either engage in growing mushrooms even pre-range chicken high-value vegetable production home-based food processing these are a few napoleon papa simulan as a small scale no here are their pictures of what you can do agro industrial um
22:46 industrial economic zones into an improved products is contribute like this one this is become freeport nasa the picon agro industrial economic zone has an indicative area of 400 000 square meters and a developed land about 280 000 square meters it shall be classified as an agricultural based industrial eco ecozone and will focus on the processing
23:33 of agricultural and aqua marine so potential agri products for processing and consolidation are coconut from lanao der sur casaba from del sur corn from sambanga del norte and rise also from la now del norte so the estimated cost is 292 million dollars the core feature of an aggro industrial park is promotion of value addition through processing manufacturing and storage of feeds food a food feed and biopeels
24:34 and so on and so forth now so this is the guiding development prem framework the pilipinas for agro-industrial modernization framework model farms manufacturing of goods equipment input supplies equipment food outlets industrial parks no credit research transport etc palm depot for machineries agricultural input management services in place so filipinos at normally the top management plan [Music]
25:25 now let's look at the profile of filipino farmers this uh is provided by psa or the philippine statistics authority along with data that's drastically changed so an age i 55 years old farmers and 20 percent of farm workers in 2015 were 55 and above uh compared to san andreas industry yum 55 years old above go on
26:51 agriculture um engage agriculture three percent language college graduate uh 26 percent college level 33 elementary and high school 13 percent so less educated less formally educated i'm not agriculture compared to industry and services at 11 and 7 percent of those who would go to industry and services
27:44 you will either go to industry or services 1999 data under 2000 data um person at the 2002 year 2000 prices of
28:59 per year and daily lowest in agriculture is 194. uh cementing industry 355 at services at 432 no pero and data i 2015 data in later later data so what does it mean is agriculture because of the pay share of agriculture and total employment is declining that in 1990 by 43.5 percent and at about agriculture known twenty fifteen twenty nine percent industry the same
29:46 and tomata s prepared the services this one is updated per day agricultural workers [Music]
30:35 339 294 uh i'm sugarcane at 311 per day per day same thing here coconut 317 that was uh regional wage rates man labor by base [Music]
31:58 um you have i have presented to you uh what is not so good about the philippine status agriculture and um in this uh but the positive side of it no now open up in your mind there is still some victory opportunity several filipino people lecture this morning on opportunities
32:45 filipino in terms of in population and on so actually this is a continuation of omaga i will post it you watch it for a better grasp of everything i think um i will be checking if this is the final presentation uh [Music] all right so it is this is a short uh shorter version not less than 35 minutes
33:30 so hopefully uh you gain an incentive information and you have been challenged uh uh in agriculture and i'm betting my 100 places for you to do some things at philippine agriculture as a young and energetic people understanding what we need to do in agriculture so thank you and you take your lands thank you very much thank you sir thank you thank it's here
