DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Caraga Region Postharvest Development Plan 67

CARAGA REGION POSTHARVEST DEVELOPMENT PLAN

This part contains the postharvest development strategies for Caraga Region. The

development strategies include the proposed interventions for the region’s priority

commodities with capsule project proposals, and a list of possible financing institutions.

This is the result of a series of activities of which the BPRE, DA-RFU XIII and the five

provincial government units of Caraga Region had a collaborative undertaking.

A matrix of project interventions outlines the project implementation plan and the

possible timelines. The strategies in the implementation of the proposed projects include

grant and grant-like modes, build-operate-transfer, soft loan facilities and other modes

applicable under government and non-government programs. The funding of the proposed

projects can be from various funding institutions both government and private sectors. The

requirements and mechanics of funding from both the private and government sectors are

included in the plan to facilitate the access to credit and financing programs.

Postharvest Development Framework

Recognizing the significant role of postharvest in the country’s agriculture sector,

this section presents the postharvest development framework that puts together all the

elements necessary in attaining the development goals for agriculture, in general and for

postharvest in particular (Figure 28).

The postharvest development programs, projects, activities and interventions are the

vital inputs in attaining profitable and sustainable agribusiness ventures leading to improved

socio-economic well-being of the country’s farmers and fisher folks. AFMA, DA/DILG

Memorandum Circular 11 of 2004 directing DA and LGUs to formulate a development plan

for postharvest and engineering projects, MTPDP and other DA Programs provide the

thrusts and guidelines by which all interventions are implemented.

The interventions shall address priority concerns along with the critical support

services that facilitate the implementation, adoption and/or utilization of these interventions.

Marketing support and conducive policy environments are also important elements that

ensure successful implementation of identified projects, programs and interventions.


Figure 1. Postharvest Development Framework

DA, DA-RFUs, BPRE and other National Government Agencies, farmers,

fisherfolks, non-government organizations and financial institutes must collaborate in

identifying the postharvest priority concerns that are need-specific, task-specific, location-

specific, market-led and agribusiness enterprise-oriented. Also, the associated appropriate

interventions shall be carefully identified by the stakeholders so that financial and human

capital investments are used effectively and efficiently. Thus, all efforts lead to profitable

and sustainable agribusiness enterprises and improved well-being of farmers and fisher

folks. Hence ultimate goals of poverty alleviation, food security and global competitiveness

could be realized.

At the onset, BPRE has developed postharvest technologies that address specific

needs in drying and dehydrating crops, handling and processing, food safety procedures and

interventions and other related technologies that add value, preserve quality and reduce

losses. These technologies shall, after careful consideration, be used to address specific

needs. There is therefore an inventory of technologies that provide some answers to priority

development goals of each of the regions and/or provinces of the country.

A list of BPRE-developed technologies is presented in Annex E.

Regional Postharvest Development Strategies

In the past, huge amounts of harvested grains were wasted because of bad weather

condition, labor shortage, inefficiency of machines used in processing, improper postharvest

practices and lack of awareness on the part of the workers or handlers. Now, with modern

postproduction technologies (like mechanical dryers), grain-saving practices and a more

enhanced awareness campaign on postharvest, losses are minimized. Combined efforts of

both the government and private sectors on reduction of losses through postharvest

interventions had been proven effective.

Prevention of postharvest losses include the use of genotypes that with longer

storage life, use of integrated pest management system that results in good keeping quality

of the commodity, and use of proper postharvest handling systems that maintain the quality

and safety of products. Less postharvest losses could result to reduction of the area needed

for production, conservation of natural resources, and protection of the environment.

Sustained reduction in losses entails more profit to farmers and traders and more

value for money to consumers. The quality of products brought to the market would also

improve and eventually the country could be a grain exporter rather than importer.

Proposed Interventions

Most of the identified problems of the region’s agriculture and fishery industries

were focused on the production, postharvest, marketing and processing aspects. There is

much work to be done to increase food production and alleviate the living condition of

subsistence farmers in the region.

The proposed interventions for each commodity are classified according to the nature

of strategies for agricultural development. The proposed projects are subject to pre-

feasibility studies to determine their financial and socio-economic viability. Also, exact

locations for each project will be determined during the pre-feasibility phase.

To improve and develop the agriculture and fishery sector of the region, a

consultation and planning workshop was conducted to validate the proposed interventions of

the provinces and city of the region. The workshop output will serve as a reference in what

could and should be done to foster its improvement. The areas are postharvest facilities and

infrastructure, training and extension and support policies and programs. Interventions were

validated according to these areas or nature of strategies.

Office of the City Agriculturist (OCAg) in the Provincial/City Postharvest Development

Plans have been identified. There are also additional proposed projects identified by the

provinces or city. In addition, during the regional postharvest workshop the participants has

also come up with new proposed projects or priority development projects to address the

major development concerns of the region.

or private and to collaborators who provide grants or financial assistance from the local

government, private entities and even foreign agencies.

Realization and proper implementation of these proposed projects will definitely

improve the agriculture sector of the region. These will eventually benefit the farmers and

fisher folks and the region as a whole by the provision/creation of more jobs; reduction of

postharvest losses; improvement of status of living; adoption and application of farm

mechanization; and enhancement of local economy; among others.

A capsule proposal for each project is presented in the succeeding pages. These are

only proposals which will serve as guide and reference in considering the proposed projects

for implementation. They still need further analysis and are subject to feasibility studies in

order to determine the financial and socio-economic viability of each project prior to

implementation. Indicated in Figure 25 are the recommended sites for each new proposed

projects of Caraga Region Postharvest Development Plan.

Included also in this plan are the available BPRE facilities and technologies for rice,

corn, vegetables and fisheries which will serve as reference in the selection of the

components of the proposed projects (refer to ANNEX E).
