LANDBANK continues to service the development requirements of the agricultural sector through accessible and responsive lending programs,” said President and CEO Borromeo. The AgriSenso Virtual Forums also address the request of customers to learn more about the Bank’s available credit facilities, as noted during the Online Stakeholder’s Consultation Forum conducted by the Bank last year. “LANDBANK is at the forefront of supporting key players in the agriculture sector by ensuring that the entire agri value chain has access to much-needed credit and other financial services. How to access the services to meet your diverse needs is, hopefully, what you can take away from today’s forum,” said Secretary Diokno to the forum’s participants. Each session of the AgriSenso Virtual Forums will focus on a specific agriculture industry, with industry experts and players invited to share insights and successful initiatives, as well as the development plans of the government for each industry. The first LANDBANK AgriSenso Virtual Forum put the spotlight on the poultry industry and featured United Broiler Raisers Association President Atty. Elias Jose M. Inciong and Ana’s Breeders Farms, Inc. (ABFI) President and CEO Jonathan O. Suy, who shared about challenges facing the industry and innovative ways to meet consumers’ evolving needs. Meanwhile, Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary and Bureau of Animal Industry Officer-in-Charge Director Reildrin G. Morales discussed the National Government’s development roadmap for the local poultry sector. LANDBANK Poultry Lending Program For his part, LANDBANK Program Management Department I, Assistant Vice President Edgardo S. Luzano discussed the Bank’s Poultry Lending Program, designed to help promote sustainable and competitive poultry production. The Lending Program offers financial support to qualified cooperatives, micro, small and medium enterprises, large agri-business enterprises and corporations for the production of broilers, layers, breeders, ducks, quails, ostrich, turkey and other poultry animals, as well as for ancillary or allied businesses, such as feed mill, dressing plant, and hatchery. Under the Program, up to 80% of the total project cost may be borrowed with an interest rate based on the prevailing market rate, depending on the term of the loan and credit rating of the borrowers. Short term loans are payable up to one year, while term loans are payable based on project cash flow or payback period but not more than the economic useful life of fixed assets. Since April 2015, LANDBANK has approved loans totaling P26.9 billion under the Poultry Lending Program, with outstanding loans amounting to P12.5 billion supporting 400 borrowers as of end-June 2022. The next run of the LANDBANK AgriSenso Virtual Forum will be held on 30 August 2022 to discuss opportunities for growth for the livestock industry. Through the years, LANDBANK has grown into one of the leading universal banks in the country, while remaining faithful to its social mandate to promote inclusive and sustainable development. On 8 August 2022, the Bank celebrated its 59th anniversary, representing almost six decades of service to the nation.

Cerna; and LANDBANK Program Management Department I, Assistant Vice President Edgardo S. Luzano lead the second run of the LANDBANK AgriSenso Virtual Forum, which puts the spotlight on the latest challenges, trends and opportunities in the local livestock industry. The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) gathered key agriculture players who underscored the importance of adopting science-based approaches and latest technologies to address the challenges facing livestock raisers and achieve self-sufficiency in meat and dairy production. The second run of the LANDBANK AgriSenso Virtual Forum on 30 August 2022 put the spotlight on the livestock industry and featured National Federation of Hog Farmers, Inc. (NFHFI) Chairman Chester Warren Y. Tan; RDF Feed, Livestock & Foods, Inc. (RDF) Founder and CEO Dr. Robert H. Lo; Bureau of Animal Industry – Livestock Research and Development Division (BAI-LRDD) Research and Management Section Head Maria Laarni P. Cerna; and LANDBANK Program Management Department I Assistant Vice President Edgardo S. Luzano. NFHFI Chairman Tan said that the livestock industry remains resilient despite various challenges caused by climate change, high production costs, global animal diseases, and market slowdown. Many pig farmers, for instance, have already succeeded in their re-population efforts amid threats from the African Swine Fever (ASF) by adopting strict and globally-accepted biosecurity standards, he shared. “The challenge is to educate, teach, and get all farmers to commit and accept the new normal of swine farming. We must learn to live with the virus and protect our farms by strengthening our biosecurity and facilities,” Chairman Tan said. RDF Founder and CEO Dr. Lo likewise believes that embracing innovation is key to overcoming present challenges besetting the livestock industry. He shared innovative approaches that the RDF adopted to manage the impact of ASF and climate change, among others. “The best time to re-populate is now because of the insufficient supply in the market. And if we re-populate, we need to do it right by applying a science-based approach to increase production. With bigger farms and good biosecurity, we can achieve this,” said Dr. Lo. Meanwhile, BAI-LRDD Research and Management Section Head Cerna discussed the country’s roadmap for the livestock industry, and shared the budgetary requirements to implement all the programs and projects included in the plan. LANDBANK Lending Programs LANDBANK Assistant Vice President Luzano discussed available credit programs for hog raisers, as well as stakeholders engaged in dairy production, processing, marketing, and other dairy-based economic activities. Designed in support of National Government efforts to re-populate and increase local hog production, LANDBANK is offering the SWINE (Special Window and Interim Support to Nurture Hog Enterprises) Lending Program to commercial hog raisers registered as cooperatives or farmers’ associations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large enterprises or corporations. As of 31 July 2022, LANDBANK has approved loans totaling P3.2 billion to 25 borrowers under the SWINE Lending Program, with outstanding loans amounting to P1.8 billion. To boost the local dairy industry, LANDBANK also provides credit assistance under the MILK (Masustansiyang Inumin para sa Likas na Kalusugan) Program for qualified cooperatives or associations, federations, countryside financial institutions (CFIs), SMEs, and agri-business entities. A total of P183 million in loans have been approved to seven borrowers under the LANDBANK MILK Program as of end-July 2022, with outstanding loans of P89.4 million.

The three-day deployment of the LANDBANK Mobile ATM in Tanauan allowed beneficiaries to activate their LANDBANK Prepaid Cards and withdraw the loaded cash aid free of charge, helping them to save time and transportation-related costs. “The LANDBANK mobile ATM deployment in Tanauan greatly benefits our UCT beneficiaries, as they have easy access to withdraw their money from their cards within the venue of the card release. I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to LANDBANK for the swift response to my request. Your continued support is highly appreciated and I look forward to our partnership in public service,” said Tanauan Mayor Ma. Gina E. Merilo.
