DA, LANDBANK distribute P3.27M cash aid to rice farmers in Pampanga and Bataan

DINALUPIHAN, Bataan – In their continuing efforts to aid rice farmers throughout the country, the Department of Agriculture (DA) and Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) continued with the roll-out of the Rice Farmer Financial Assistance (RFFA) Program in Dinalupihan, Bataan last February 3, 2020. Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar and LANDBANK Executive Vice President Julio D. Climaco, Jr. led the awarding of LANDBANK Cash Cards to 276 rice farmers from Pampanga and 377 rice farmers from Bataan, loaded with P5,000 each or a total of P3.27 million in cash assistance. They are joined by Bataan Governor Albert S. Garcia, Dinalupihan Mayor Gila S. Garcia, DA OIC Regional Executive Director for Region III Crispulo G. Bautista, Jr., LANDBANK Central Luzon Branches Group Head First Vice President Sylvia C. Lim, and LANDBANK Bataan Lending Center Head Melissa V.A. Abundo. The RFFA Program aims to give P5,000 financial assistance each to rice farmers tilling 0.5 to 2 hectares of land in 33 provinces nationwide. The national government has allocated P3 billion in 2019 to fund the Program, which would benefit a total of 600,000 rice farmers affected by the decrease of palay prices. LANDBANK, as a disbursing agent, will distribute P1.5 billion or half of the RFFA Program Fund to 300,000 rice farmers, while the balance will be disbursed by the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP). As of February 3, 2020, a total of 5,822 LANDBANK Cash Cards totalling P29.1 million in cash assistance have been distributed to rice farmers nationwide since the Program was launched in December 2019, broken down as follows: Pangasinan – 499;  Ilocos Norte – 1,965; Nueva Ecija – 480; Zamboanga Del Sur – 963; North Cotabato – 1,262; Bataan – 377; Pampanga – 276.  “LANDBANK continues to strengthen its partnership with the Department of Agriculture by supporting its various programs, such as the RFFA, to further intensify our support to small palay farmers,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. Farmers from the provinces of Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, Davao de Oro (formerly Compostela Valley), Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte, and Davao Oriental were also identified to receive the assistance from future roll-outs of the RFFA Program.

LANDBANK introduces new lending programs for rice farmers, agri-value chain players

State-owned Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) continued to intensify its support to the agriculture sector as it introduced seven (7) new agri-lending programs which include programs initiated by the Department of Agriculture (DA) as a direct response to the rice crisis. “All these new lending facilities, along with the other existing programs, will help address the specific requirements of the various players in the agriculture sector,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The first special lending program launched in 2019 was the P10-billion PAlay aLAY sa Magsasaka ng Lalawigan (PALAY ng Lalawigan) Program to assist rice-producing provinces by enabling local government units (LGUs) to procure palay produced by their local farmers, as well as to acquire farm machineries and post-harvest facilities. Last year, a total of P3.2 billion in loans was approved for the Provinces of Isabela, Nueva Ecija and Camarines Sur. The second loan program was the Expanded Survival and Recovery Assistance Program for Rice Farmers (SURE Aid Program) under the DA, which extended credit assistance to small farmers tilling one (1) hectare of land and below. Under the Program, a total of P2.07 billion in loans were provided as immediate financial assistance to 136,648 farmers nationwide. The DA and LANDBANK also launched the Rice Farmer Financial Assistance (RFFA) Program, an unconditional cash transfer program which aims to give P5,000 financial assistance each to rice farmers tilling 0.5 to 2 hectares of land in 33 provinces nationwide. As of February 3, 2020, a total of 5,822 LANDBANK Cash Cards totalling more than P29 million in cash assistance have been distributed to rice farmers in Pangasinan, Ilocos Norte, Nueva Ecija, Zamboanga del Sur, North Cotabato, Bataan and Pampanga. LANDBANK also partnered with the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) to introduce the Accessible Funds for Delivery to Agrarian Reform Benefeciaries (AFFORD-ARBs) Program which provided loans to finance the production of rice, corn, high-value crops, as well as farm implements. Outstanding loans for this Program in 2019 reached P100.86 million, which was availed by 523 farmer-borrowers and a cooperative. The three (3) other new programs recently launched by the Bank are the Sulong Saka Program promoting high value crops production, the Sustainable Aquaculture Lending Program (SALP) to finance projects within the value chain of fishery, mariculture and aquaculture, and the Greenhouse Farming System Financing Program to help farmers, cooperatives and agri-entrepreneurs shift to modern farming by adopting the greenhouse farming technology.

LANDBANK intensifies direct lending programs to individual farmers

In its continuing effort to intensify support to the country’s agriculture sector, Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has started implementing a major directional shift in its lending programs to the individual small farmers and fishers. LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo said the Bank aggressively pursued three (3) legislated lending programs last year in partnership with the Department of Agriculture (DA) that directly benefitted individual farmers. “We have taken a major shift of lending directly to farmers especially for programs which we are jointly implementing with other government agencies, particularly the Department of Agriculture,” said President Borromeo. One of the DA programs that LANDBANK supported in 2019 was the Expanded Rice Credit Assistance under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ERCA-RCEF), which the Bank implemented in line with the Rice Tarrification Law, with P358.25 million in loans released to 7,468 farmers. LANDBANK also aggressively offered farmers financial support through the DA’s Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ACEF) lending program, which resulted to a significant increase in loans from P154.3 million in June 2019 to P1.04 billion as of yearend 2019, benefiting more than 7,000 farmers. Likewise, the implementation of the Socialized Credit Program under the Sugarcane Industry Development Act (SCP-SIDA) for individual sugarcane farmers, block farms, and common service centers also recorded an increase in 2019, with loans doubling to P111.37 million, assisting 992 farmers. Last year, LANDBANK intensified its lending to agriculture with loans reaching P236.31 billion, exceeding its yearend target of P231.25 billion. The bank also exceeded the number of farmers and fishers assisted, registering 1,032,982 or 103% of its yearend target of one million.

LANDBANK distributed P94B in cash grants for social protection programs

State-owned Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), in partnership with other government agencies, continued to be a conduit of the social protection programs of the national government as it released a total of P94.36 billion in cash grants to 9,670,434 beneficiaries in 2019 for this purpose. In partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), LANDBANK distributed a total of P73.94 billion to 4.4 million beneficiaries of the Conditional and Cash Transfer (CCT) Program, and P18.15 billion to 5.16 million beneficiaries of the Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) Program of the Department. The Bank also supported the Pantawid Pasada Program (PPP), a fuel subsidy program of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) for jeepney drivers and operators, with a total of P2.27 billion released to 110,434 beneficiaries nationwide. “As LANDBANK aggressively pursues programs that intensifies our support to the agriculture sector, we have complemented this with our continuous efforts to support the national developmental agenda especially in alleviating poverty, and to fulfill our function as the main depository and servicing bank of the government,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The identified beneficiaries under these social intervention programs were given LANDBANK ATM Cash Cards where cash grants are credited every two months for CCT, while the UCT and PPP are credited only upon the request of DSWD and LTFRB, respectively. Also in December last year, LANDBANK entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) along with 13 other government agencies for the Expanded Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty Program (EPAHP), designed to mitigate hunger, promote food security, and reduce poverty in the country by year 2030. The Bank committed P2 billion to lend to community-based organizations that supply the requirements for feeding programs.

From shore to soil: Former OFW plants success in mechanized farming

HAMTIC, Antique – Melbert Gabriel Fadrigo sailed oceans and seas for seven years before deciding to retire and return to his family’s rice and corn farm in this town. With the help of Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), Fadrigo availed of the Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ACEF) for the acquisition of his brand-new four-wheeled tractor with rotavator. “Sa una ang tingin mo sa farming, parang mahina ang kita. Pero habang tumatagal na, makikita mo na basta may tamang diskarte at equipment, malaki rin talaga ang kikitain. Bakit ka pa magbabarko kung yung kikitain mo dun, kikitain mo rin dito sa lupa?” Fadrigo explained. The youngest among three siblings, Fadrigo learned of the hardships that come with the manual tilling of land at an early age, accompanying his father plant rice and corn seeds in their 12-hectare agricultural land while he was still in high school. Back then, farming was laborious. Plowing a hectare of their land took two to three days using their trusted carabao. It also cost them more as their kuliglig or improvised tractors required more crude oil to run, more workers to operate, and more time needed to cultivate their land as compared to modern tractors. Before turning to full-time farming, Fadrigo first tried his luck as a cook in a cargo ship in 2010. Even then, he knew that his father needed someone who could continue their family’s legacy in farming. Fadrigo finally decided to take over the management of the family’s farm from his father in 2017. But he knew that he needed to adopt modern technology in order to increase their farm’s productivity. “Kinausap ko yung father ko na kumuha kami ng isang tractor kasi napaghuhulihan talaga kami kapag kuliglig ang gamit. Nung una nagbabayad pa kami sa isang co-op para maka-renta ng tractor. Doon namin nakita na iba talaga kapag may tractor ka dahil mas mabilis at maayos ang pagtatanim sa lupa,” Fadrigo explained. LANDBANK assisted Fadrigo in reaching for his aspiration to mechanize their farming methods. A year after he decided to become a full-time farmer, Fadrigo’s application for the ACEF program was approved by LANDBANK Antique Satellite Office, making him the first-ever ACEF availer in the province. This enabled him to procure the Php900,000-priced tractor. Since Fadrigo acquired the tractor, their productivity and income significantly increased. From spending two to three days for land preparation, they can now complete the job in just two hours for one hectare of land. Using his tractor, he was also able to earn extra income by servicing neighbouring farms in the localities of Hamtic, San Jose, Sibalom, and Tobias Fornier, which he charges for Php3,000 to Php6,000 depending on the land size. And since availing of the ACEF program, he has employed six regular farm workers to man their farm and operate their equipment. “Ang laking tulong talaga ng ACEF dahil dito nabili namin yung tractor, gumaan yung trabaho namin, at higit sa lahat lumaki ang kita namin. Kaya malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa LANDBANK sa tulong na nabigay nila sa amin,” Fadrigo shared. Moving forward, Fadrigo hopes to expand his business to rice trading by acquiring his own solar and mechanical dryers, and warehouse, also with the help of LANDBANK. The ACEF Lending Program is a joint program of the Department of Agriculture and LANDBANK which aims to provide necessary credit to farmers and fishers, their cooperatives and associations, and micro and small enterprises to increase their productivity, and to enhance the competitiveness of agricultural players.

LANDBANK released P3.08B in support of the Rice Tariffication Law

One year into the implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL), Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), in partnership with the Department of Agriculture (DA), has released a total of P3.08 billion in loans and grants to 189,883 small farmers nationwide, and approved another P3.9 billion in loans to local government units (LGUs) to help them cope with the law’s initial impact on rice farmers. On February 14, 2019, President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed Republic Act No. 11203 entitled, “An Act Liberalizing the Importation, Exportation, and Trading of Rice, Lifting for the Purpose the Quantitative Import Restriction on Rice, and for Other Purposes,” otherwise known as the Rice Tariffication Law. As a direct response, LANDBANK and the DA initiated programs that helped mitigate the drop in the farmgate prices of palay. “Our farmers can rest assured that LANDBANK will continue to strengthen its support to the agriculture sector. Through partnerships with the Department of Agriculture and other agencies, we will continue to push for the advancement of our small farmers and fishers,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. One of the programs that LANDBANK supports is the Expanded Rice Credit Assistance under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ERCA-RCEF). The Bank is one of the implementing agencies for the P1-billion RCEF allocation for credit. From 2019 to 2024, LANDBANK will make P500 million in credit assistance available annually to rice farmers in 59 out of 81 rice-producing provinces covered by the Program at affordable interest rates and with minimum documentary requirements. As of February 28, 2020, a total of P481.34 million in loans was released to 2,679 eligible borrowers under the ERCA-RCEF. The second partnership program between LANDBANK and the DA is the Expanded Survival and Recovery Assistance Program for Rice Farmers (SURE Aid Program), which extended an immediate one-time, zero-interest, no collateral loan of P15,000 (net), payable in 8 years, to rice farmers who are tilling one hectare of land and below. Under the Program, a total of P2.48 billion in loans were provided to 163,827 small rice farmers in 69 provinces covered by the Program. Another special lending program launched by the Bank in 2019 in support of the RTL is the P10-billion PAlay aLAY sa Magsasaka ng Lalawigan (PALAY ng Lalawigan) Program to assist rice-producing provinces by enabling local government units (LGUs)—provincial, municipal and city governments—to procure palay produced by their local farmers, as well as to acquire farm machineries and post-harvest facilities. As of February 28, 2020, LANDBANK has approved P3.9 billion in loans to four (4) provincial LGUs. Lastly, LANDBANK once again partnered with the DA for the Rice Farmer Financial Assistance (RFFA) Program, a P3-billion unconditional cash transfer program which aims to give P5,000 financial assistance each to 600,000 rice farmers nationwide who are tilling 0.5 to 2 hectares of land. A total of P116.89 million in cash grants were released to 23,377 small farmers nationwide as of February 29, 2020.

Local agri-trader supports livelihood of 500 cassava farmers

CAGAYAN DE ORO, Misamis Oriental – In the uplands of this town, Ruben Gicabao and wife Lilibeth run an agri-business trading company which helps support the livelihood of some 500 small farmers in their community and neighboring areas who plant cassava, a nutrient-dense root vegetable used as raw material in food processing. Leaving his job in Manila after his father passed away in 2004, Ruben decided to revisit his father’s hometown in Cagayan de Oro City where he would eventually expand his father’s cassava trading business, the Agri de Oro VMB Marketing. The company started its operations by purchasing cassava from small farmers within their 50-meter radius in the neighboring towns of the Provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. “We process the cassava from the farmers to produce granules which are sold to feed mills and traders. But as the demand for cassava chips rose over the years, my wife and I realized that we needed more capital to purchase enough cassava from more farmers, at the right and justifiable price,” Ruben said. In 2008, the couple applied for, and was granted a short-term loan (STL) assistance from Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), which enabled them to work with about 500 small farmers who plant cassava, even just in their own backyards. Ruben also employs up to 30 laborers for his agri-business, helping provide employment for the local community. On top of this, he would sometimes offer financial assistance to the farmers when cassava is not yet in season, as he understood the financial challenges of small farmers in terms of capital. “Through LANDBANK’s assistance, we were able to expand our business and market. Currently, Agri de Oro VMB Marketing already distributes cassava chips to big companies like San Miguel Foods Corporation, Bounty Fresh Food, Inc., New YUNG Yang Felan Farm, and Agricola, to name a few,” Ruben added. More than just cassava trading, Ruben’s agri-business continues to support not only his own family, but also the small farmers, their families, and the local community. To date, LANDBANK has supported Agri de Oro VMB Marketing through financial assistance worth Php20 million, promoting inclusive growth especially in unbanked and underserved areas. LANDBANK provides financial assistance to agri-businessmen like Ruben, who are the unsung catalysts for countryside development and poverty alleviation. It is the biggest credit provider to small farmers and fishers, and microenterprises among government financial institutions. Last year, LANDBANK’s loans to the agriculture sector reached P236.31 billion, exceeding its yearend target of P231.25 billion. Of this amount, P44.82 billion were outstanding loans to small farmers, fishers, cooperatives, and farmers associations, while P191.49 billion were loans to other players in the agri-business value chain.

Sugarcane coop reaps sweet success with DAR and LANDBANK’s support

Mirasol Development Corporation Agrarian Reform Cooperative (MDCARC) was established in 2014 through the assistance of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), under the Agrarian Production Credit Program (APCP).   SAGAY CITY, Negros Occidental – Farmer-members of the Mirasol Development Corporation Agrarian Reform Cooperative (MDCARC) were once on the brink of losing the land that they were tilling until they sought assistance from Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK). Through the help of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), MDCARC availed of the Agrarian Production Credit Program (APCP) with LANDBANK which allowed them to continue with the production of their sugarcane farms. “Malaki ang pasasalamat namin sa LANDBANK at sa DAR kasi kung wala sila, baka wala na yung lupa namin. Baka napunta na sa malalaking haciendero,” said MDCARC Chairman Arnold Lapuhapo. Established in 2014, MDCARC had an initial member of 134 small farmers who pursued their claim for agrarian reform coverage for the almost 40 hectares of agricultural land from its former owner-corporation. The DAR first assisted MDCARC in 2012 to capacitate them and prepare them for their land ownership, as well as the requirements of APCP availment, which eventually paved the way for LANDBANK to approve their P4.0M-credit line under the APCP in 2014 to finance their sugarcane cultivation and production. Aside from farming support, Lapuhapo said that APCP was also key in uplifting the lives of their farmer-members saying, “Maraming nagbago talaga. Dati nung meron pa kaming amo hindi namin naranasan magkaroon ng benepisyo at yung Pasko namin mahirap na mahirap. Ngayon, yung mga benepisyo namin at Pasko ay nakakaluwag na.” At present, MDCARC now owns almost 110 hectares of land dedicated to sugarcane farming. They are also building on the gains that they achieved from being an APCP availer by diversifying the coop’s business to microfinancing, poultry farming, and sand and gravel production, all for the benefit of their farmer-members. “Ipinagpatuloy namin yung pagpapalago sa coop namin para sa mga susunod na taon ay pataas nang pataas na lang ang aming assets at income,” Lapuhapo added. The APCP is a joint venture of DAR and LANDBANK, which aims to achieve sustainable crop production and increase the income of agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) and their households through the provision of credit and capacity building assistance. Aside from APCP, LANDBANK also promotes other programs for the benefit of the ARBs. As the financial conduit of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), the Bank is involved in determining the land valuation and compensation for all lands covered under CARP, and the issuance of Certificate of Full Payment and Release of Real Estate Mortgage to ARBs. Last year, LANDBANK also partnered with DAR to introduce the Accessible Funds for Delivery to Agrarian Reform Benefeciaries (AFFORD-ARBs) Program which provided loans to finance the production of rice, corn, high-value crops, as well as farm implements. Outstanding loans for this Program in 2019 reached P100.86 million, which was availed by 523 farmer-borrowers and a cooperative. Meanwhile, the Bank and the Department of Agriculture (DA) is jointly implementing the Socialized Credit Program under the Sugarcane Industry Development Act (SCP-SIDA) for individual sugarcane farmers, block farms, and common service centers. In 2019, SCP-SIDA loans amounted to P111.37 million, assisting 992 farmers.
