The Case of Selected Communities in Talugtug, Nueva Ecija, Philippines The CGPRT Centre The Regional Co-ordination Centre for Research and Development of Coarse Grains, Pulses, Roots and Tuber Crops in the Humid Tropics of Asia and the Pacific (CGPRT Centre) was established in 1981 as a subsidiary body of UN/ESCAP. Objectives In co-operation with ESCAP member countries, the Centre will initiate and promote research, training and dissemination of information on socio-economic and related aspects of CGPRT crops in Asia and the Pacific. In its activities, the Centre aims to serve the needs of institutions concerned with planning, research, extension and development in relation to CGPRT crop production, marketing and use. Programmes In pursuit of its objectives, the Centre has two interlinked programmes to be carried out in the spirit of technical cooperation among developing countries: 1. Research and development which entails the preparation and implementation of projects and studies covering production, utilization and trade of CGPRT crops in the countries of Asia and the South Pacific. 2. Human resource development and collection, processing and dissemination of relevant information for use by researchers, policy makers and extension workers.

  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.

  • Coping Against El Nino for Stabilizing Rainfed Agriculture
    Coping Strategies against El Nino: the Case of Selected Communities in Talugtug, Nueva Ecija, the Philippines Florentino C. Monsalud, Jaime G. Montesur and Rene L. Limosinero* Introduction The Philippines experiences drought at least once every five years and it causes tremendous havoc to the economy. During the 1997-1998 El Nino, losses to rice and corn alone amounted to more than US$ 240,000,000 (Librero et al., 1999). Under these circumstances the government reacted with a number of programs that are expected to address this problem. Among these include the Small Water Impounding Projects (SWIP). Along with the introduced mitigation measures against the effects of El Nino are the strategies employed by farmers to cope with the impact of El Nino. Understanding the factors contributory to the effectiveness of these measures will be a useful guide to planners and policy makers. Vulnerability of farmers to El Nino is dependent on the biophysical characteristics of their farm and on the socio-economic conditions of the community. The institutional support available to them is also critical in the level of preparedness in confronting the impact of El Nino. Objectives 1) To determine the impacts of El Nino-related abnormal weather changes on agricultural production and farmers’ income; 2) To document the existing farming systems, resources, infrastructure, institutions, and other socio-economic characteristics of selected El Nino vulnerable areas; 3) To determine the strategies employed by farmers and communities to cope with El Nino-induced agricultural risks; and 4) To draw up specific recommendations for the stabilization of upland agricultural production. * Farming Systems and Soil Resources Institute, University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna, the Philippines.

  • Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines – Online Appendix
    ONLINE APPENDIX Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines Eugenia Go 28 February 2020 A.1. DATA 1. Maritime Trade by Origin and Destination The analysis is limited to a set of agricultural commodities corresponding to 101,159 monthly flows. About 5% of these exhibit highly improbable derived unit values suggesting encoding errors. More formally, provincial retail and farm gate prices are used as upper and lower bounds of unit values to check for outliers. In such cases, more weight is given to the volume record as advised by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and values were adjusted according to the average unit price of the exports from the port of the nearest available month before and after the outlier observation. 2. Interprovince Land Trade Interprovince land trade flows were derived using Marketing Cost Structure Studies prepared by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics for a number of products in selected years. These studies identify the main supply and destination provinces for certain commodities. The difference between production and consumption of a supply province is assumed to be the amount available for export to demand provinces. The derivation of imports of a demand province is straightforward when an importing province only has one source province. In cases where a demand province sources from multiple suppliers, such as the case of the National Capital Region (NCR), the supplying provinces are weighted according to the sample proportions in the survey. For example, NCR sources onions from Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, and Nueva Ecija. Following the sample proportion of traders in each supply province, it is assumed that 26% of NCR imports came from Ilocos Norte, 34% from Pangasinan, and 39% from Nueva Ecija.

  • Flood Risk Assessment Under the Climate Change in the Case of Pampanga River Basin, Philippines
    FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT UNDER THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE CASE OF PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN, PHILIPPINES Santy B. Ferrer* Supervisor: Mamoru M. Miyamoto** MEE133631 Advisors: Maksym Gusyev*** Miho Ohara**** ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to assess the flood risk in the Pampanga river basin that consists of the flood hazard, exposure, and risk in terms of potential flood fatalities and economic losses under the climate change. The Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model was calibrated using 2011 flood and validated with the 2009, 2012 and 2013 floods. The calibrated RRI model was applied to produce flood inundation maps based on 10-, 25, 50-, and 100-year return period of 24-hr rainfall. The rainfall data is the output of the downscaled and bias corrected MRI -AGCM3.2s for the current climate conditions (CCC) and two cases of future climate conditions with an outlier in the dataset (FCC-case1) and without an outlier (FCC-case2). For this study, the exposure assessment focuses on the affected population and the irrigated area. Based on the results, there is an increasing trend of flood hazard in the future climate conditions, therefore, the greater exposure of the people and the irrigated area keeping the population and irrigated area constant. The results of this study may be used as a basis for the climate change studies and an implementation of the flood risk management in the basin. Keywords: Risk assessment, Pampanga river basin, Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation model, climate change, MRI-AGCM3.2S 1. INTRODUCTION The Pampanga river basin is the fourth largest basin in the Philippines located in the Central Luzon Region with an approximate area of 10,545 km² located in the Central Luzon Region.
