Why farming is important for the Philippines
The Philippines is an agricultural country with a land area of 30 million hectares, 47% of which is agricultural land. In the Philippines, prime agricultural lands are located around the main urban and high population density areas.
Agriculture plays a significant role in the Philippine economy. Involving about 40 percent of Filipino workers, it contributes an average of 20 percent to the Gross Domestic Product.
This GDP output comes mainly from agribusiness, which in turn accounts for about 70 percent of the total agricultural output (CIDA-LGSP, 2003). Women in the rice and corn industry allot three hours to do farm-related work during daily.
Filipino farmers need support, training and a morale boost. Otherwise, our beloved country’s agriculture sector and the uneven distribution of resources may be worsened the poverty situation in rural areas.
