| Organic farming in the Philippines |
The Department of Agriculture said that organic
farming is successful in Western Visayas.
Leo Cañeda, coordinator of DA’s National
Organic Agriculture Board, said that the organic farming program of the agency
had been running in the region for more than four years since the Organic Agriculture
Act was passed in 2010, as he stressed that there’s no reason for the program to
fail in its birthplace.
Cañeda said that the law targets to transform
five percent of the country’s agricultural lands into organic agriculture.
According to DA, about 32,000 hectares of the
633,000 agricultural land area in the region were already converted into
organic agriculture.
The province of Negros Occidental, which is
known for sugar, aimed to be the organic farming capital of the country.
Meanwhile, small scale farmers who are into
rice, corn, high-value crops and livestock production can avail of the crop
insurance program.
The farmers, however, should conform to the
Philippine National Standard on Organic Farming so they will be certified
as organic practitioners for their products to have access in domestic and
foreign markets
