  1. ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERn o . n Series of 2021 SUBJECT: STRENGTHENING THE INCLUSIVE AGRIBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (IADP) THROUGH AGRO-INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS CORRIDORS (ABCs) INCLUDING THE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS IN THE COUNTRY WHEREAS, Chapter 8 of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 highlights the role of the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries (AFF) sector as pivotal in generating employment for about a third of the country’s labor force, thereby reducing poverty and inequality for three-fourths of the poor who are in the rural areas; WHEREAS, Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (RA 8435) likewise provides that the State shall promote industrialization and full employment based on sound agricultural development, through industries that make full and efficient use of human and natural resources, and which are competitive in both domestic and foreign markets. In pursuit of these goals, all sectors of the economy and all regions of the country shall be given optimum opportunity to develop. WHEREAS, pursuant to Sagip Saka Act (RA 11321), it is a declared policy of the State to achieve sustainable modern agriculture and food security by helping the agricultural and fishing communities to reach their full potential, increasing farmers’ and fisherfolks' incomes, and bridging gaps through public-private partnerships, thereby improving their quality of life. WHEREAS, pursuant to the Bayanihan 2 Act (RA ), the State shall provide assistance to the agriculture industry, including agriculture cooperatives through the "Plant, Plant, Plant" Program that includes the: (1) Ahon Lahat, Pagkaing Sapat (ALPAS) kontra C0V1D- 19; (2) food markets, food logistics and other interventions; (3) Urban agriculture program of the DA; and (4) Cash-for-work program in the agriculture. WHEREAS, the agriculture sector is faced with a myriad of challenges that include among others the high cost of transporting goods, limited and high cost of postharvest facilities, lack of economies of scale in raw material production, inefficient value chain, limited access to credit and high cost of loan, limited private sector investment, limited access of insurance, issues on utilities (Power and Water), governance and policy Issues (e.g., security and trade issues), high exposure to climate change/disaster hazards and limited support for extension services. jood-secure a n d resident Tfddppines wit ft empowered a rufprosperous farm ers andfisfierfoCk Ufasaqananq &N|jKfltaaJ na !« T A WHEREAS.

II. DEEINITION OF TERMS Agricultural value chains - are composed of various types of business models that link different actors along the chain. Agri-Industrial Business Corridors - is a tool for promoting sustainable agricultural development through value chains with agricultural clusters along existing infrastructure corridors and establishing transformative multi-sectoral public-private partnerships and providing catalytic financing to attract capital from domestic and international, public and private sources. Agri-Enterprise and Agri-business - used interchangeably, refer to the enterprise development activities of a farmer organization, an informal farmer group, a marketing cooperative or cottage microenterprise, a small agro-processor or a large hnvpr. ■“ V Farmer organizations - refer to formal or informal (registered or unregistered) membership-based collective action groups serving its members, who receive part or all of their livelihood from agriculture. Inclusive Agri-business program - refers to sustainable and equitable commercial operations that link low-income communities and smallholder farmers/fisherfolks to the entire commercial supply or value chains to lift them out of poverty and stimulate overall rural development. I. TITLE with empowered andprosperous farm ers and ood-secure a n d resident TfdCi Small Farmers and Fisherfolk - refers to natural persons dependent on small- scale subsistence farming and fishing activities as their primary source of income. III.

Its objectives are as follows: 1. Ensure food security and increase productivity, develop rural agro­enterprises, catalyze agro-industrialization through technology innovation and efficiency in food logistics to ensure access to safe, nutritious and affordable food for all; 2 Provide opportunities for smallholder producers to engage in profitable agriculture by providing incentives for stronger linkages between smallholders and commercial agribusinesses, including "hub and outgrower" schemes that allow smallholders in the vicinity of large-scale farms to access inputs, extension services, value-adding facilities and markets. 3.

PROGRAM FOCUS An Agri-Industrial Business Corridor is a "smart” tool for integrated territorial planning that combines interventions in infrastructure (and related services) with specific actions to boost key agriculture sectors. These could be described as "Islands of Competence”, that is, areas that stand out on the basis of their sustainable competitive advantage, grounded in economic performance. One possible basis for identifying potential ABCs are the rurrpnt flows nf apriniltnral nrndurts. psneriallv thp rhamninn rnmmndifips from thp------- -----------— ----------- --- - - - - - o ----------------------------- r - ------------------- ' 1 ---------------j ----------------r -------------- "production areas to the distribution centers. The strategic pillars of an ABC are infrastructure development, investment promotion, agri-business development and climate change resiliency and natural resource management. These pillars consist of spatial development initiatives that include the core transport infrastructure and logistics, institutional frameworks and procedures, anchor and rhisfpr nrniprts and thp inclusion nf rnmrrmnitips and small hnsinpssps Thpv nrnvidp------------------------ ---------A } -- --------------------------------- — --- ------------------ ---- - -------------------------------------- -------------------------------- - j r ■the solid foundation for an efficient agricultural value chain from input supply, farm production, assembly, processing and distribution. The ABC is an integrative strategy that enables industrial proliferation, creation of jobs, upgrading of infrastructure, alignment of infrastructure development with urban and social agglomerations, unifying domestic markets, linking production centers with global valnp chains decentralisation nf dpvplnnmpnt awav from thp mnntrv's ranital ritv and------------ ------------------- , ------------------------------------------------------ - - - - - ----------- r ---------------- ------------------ j --------------- -------- - --------------- j - - - r ---------- ---------- j ------------creation of markets in the lagging regions. Thus, a growth corridor program encompasses a set o f coordinated actions that ensure a critical mass of investments with the ability to transform the territory. Corridors are intrinsically conducive to generating multi­ stakeholder strategic alliances for development, with the participation of local and central public authorities, private actors and donors, among others.The strategies therefore for the spatial development of ABCs may not be uniform per region since it is dependent on the particular multi-dimensional characteristics of the areas. Basic however to these ABCs is the inclusion of smallhold farms into the corridor and farm clustering such as contract or cooperative farming to ensure economies of scale in the value chain. Farms producing certain products may or may not be contiguous. Some of these production areas may choose to specialize in certain commodities while others may decide to produce a variety of high value crops.

These support facilities may be centrally located in agribusiness hubs or may be dispersed along the Agribusiness corridors, which is especially true if these facilities are already in place before the ABCs are organized into one efficient product highway from production to distribution. It may include among others seed production facilities to ensure the availability of quality seeds, technology incubation parks for facilitating the maturation of technologies, and agri­parks which can be described as areas of intensive, contiguous, parcel of land for agricultural production which sees to integrate all facets of the agricultural value chain from pre-production to production, post harvesting and marketing.
