LANDBANK received a special award as one of the partner lending conduits (PLCs) of DA-ACPC for agri-fishery credit programs for small farmers and fishers and other agri-players. "While we take on an expanded role of serving various development sectors, providing intensified support to agriculture is a continuing commitment for LANDBANK. Together with the DA and ACPC, we remain focused on extending financial access to farmers and fishers nationwide under our whole-of-government approach," said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. LANDBANK Lending Program Management Group Head, Vice President Esperanza N. Martinez received the award on behalf of the Bank on 28 April 2022 during the award ceremonies held at Novotel Manila Araneta in Cubao, Quezon City. In partnership with the agriculture department, LANDBANK offers various lending programs directed at supporting the recovery and growth of small farmers, fishers and MSMEs. These loan programs include the Expanded Credit Assistance under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ERCA-RCEF), Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ACEF), LBP-SRA Socialized Credit Program under Sugarcane Industry Development Act (SCP-SIDA), and the Survival and Recovery Assistance (SURE Aid) Program.

READ MOREThe Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) reported robust financial performance in the first quarter of the year, with a higher net income of P13.2 billion alongside double-digit growth in assets, deposits and capital. LANDBANK’s net income for the three-month period jumped an unprecedented 141% from P5.48 billion a year ago, attributed to higher interest income from loans and investments, as well as one-time gains from the merger with the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB). The higher net income translates to a return on equity of 14.27%, which is well above the industry average of 9.08% as of 31 December 2021. “LANDBANK’s income expansion runs parallel with the country’s strong economic resurgence. We will build on this growth trajectory to continue assisting key development sectors and contribute to our collective recovery, to drive our broader thrust of serving the nation,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. LANDBANK remains the second largest bank in terms of assets at P2.792 trillion as of end-March 2022 or 16% higher than the P2.405 trillion in 2021. The increase in assets was propelled by the merger, with UCPB contributing P291.83 billion additional assets. Major asset accounts, including loans and investments, likewise increased in double-digits. The Bank also booked a 12% growth in capital year-on-year to P218.36 billion from P194.59 billion, mainly due to the record net income in 2021. LANDBANK’s sound financial position furthered its capacity to provide financial and support services to the agriculture sector and other development industries. As of end-March 2022, LANDBANK’s total outstanding loans to its priority sectors reached P822.01 billion, of which P236.86 billion was channeled to support the agriculture sector. LANDBANK is a government financial institution with a unique social mandate of promoting national development while remaining financially viable.
READ MOREThe Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has released P1.51 billion in loans to a total of 9,126 rice farmers and cooperatives as of 31 March 2022 through the Expanded Rice Credit Assistance under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ERCA-RCEF). Implemented in partnership with the Department of Agriculture (DA), LANDBANK was able to fully disburse the allocated program fund from 2019 to 2021 under the ERCA-RCEF, designed to support small rice farmers cope with the decline in palay prices, coupled with challenges brough about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Majority of the beneficiaries were from the rice-producing provinces of Region 2, particularly Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino, with LANDBANK assisting a total of 4,189 individual rice farmers and 28 cooperatives. LANDBANK was also able to extend assistance to rice farmers in the Visayas and Mindanao, including the provinces of Capiz, Agusan del Sur, Davao del Norte, and Occidental Mindoro, among others. “As a vital contributor to the National Government’s sustainable development agenda, LANDBANK remains steadfast in delivering much-needed support to the agriculture sector. Alongside the DA, the successful and timely delivery of loans to rice farmers under the ERCA-RCEF is a testament of this unwavering commitment,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The ERCA-RCEF is a credit facility which aims to boost the productivity and income of small rice farmers, and cushion the initial impact of Republic Act No. 11203, also known as the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL). Under ERCA-RCEF, individual farmers may borrow up to 90% of their total project cost at a low fixed interest rate of 2% per year. The loan may be used to purchase farm inputs for rice and rice seed production, as well as farm machineries and equipment for production and post-production. DA-accredited cooperatives may also borrow under the ERCA-RCEF for the purchase of farm inputs for rice and rice seed production as a collective operation and working capital for rice and rice seed trading. The Progam also supports rice farming-related activities such as the acquisition of machineries and equipment, as well as relending and rediscounting of existing loans of small rice farmers listed in the DA’s Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA). As mandated by Republic Act No. 11203, LANDBANK shall continue to administer the ERCA-RCEF Program for the DA until 2024, and make available P500 million in loans annually to rice farmers registered under the RSBSA in 38 rice-producing provinces.
