7.6.2 Subsection B-2. NUMBER OF PARCELS AND AREA OF THE FARM

3B06 How many parcels did you operate/manage in the farm during the period January 01 to December 31, 2022?

Write thetotal number of parcels operated in thebox provided during the reference period.

3B06 aimstodeterminethe total number of parcels in thefarm.Include allparcels usedfor planting temporary crops, permanent crops, ornamental plants for sale and urban gardening, raising of livestock and/or poultry, raising of breeder dogs, cats, ornamental birds, gamefowls and pigeons for sale, and culturing of insects and worms.

A PARCEL is a one contiguous piece of land under one form of tenure without regard to land use. Both the contiguity and one form of tenure conditions should be met for a piece of land to be classified as one parcel.

CONTIGUOUS means that the piece of land is not separated by natural or manmade boundaries. Aparcelmaybesurroundedbyotherlands,water,road,forestorotherfeatures that are not part of the farm or part of the farm under different land tenure.

Examples of natural boundaries are river, dike, lake, mountain, forest, and any physical features of the land that are not part of the farm. Meanwhile, example of manmade boundaries are road, political boundaries (e.g., barangay, municipal, and provincial borders), houses, irrigation canal, and any man-made structures that are not part of the farm.

A parcel may consist of one or more fields or plots adjacent to each other. A FIELD is a piece of land in a parcel separated from the rest of the parcel by easily recognizable demarcation lines, such as paths, cadastral boundaries, fences, waterways, or hedges. A

field may consist of one or more plots, where a PLOT is a part or whole of a field on which a specific crop or crop mixture is cultivated, or which is fallow or waiting to be planted.

Parcels to beINCLUDED are those:

1. lands actually used in the operation whether the land is owned, leased, or rented (the one who rented is the one to report the parcel);

2. lands where rented/contracted trees are grown (the one toreport the parcel is the tree holding contractor);

3. lands which are purposely allowed to stay idle for a period of at least one year or at most five years in order to recover its fertility; and

4. home lot of the operator whether the land is owned or rented if used in agricultural activitylikevegetablegardening,whethertheproductionisforhomeconsumptionor for sale.

The following examples illustrate how to determine the number of parcels in the farm.

Example 2

Kevin migrated to States with his family and entrusted his 10-hectare palay farm to his three brothers. The brothers - Kaloy, Karding, Kardo - divided the farm into three parts. However, in 2019, parts of the farm were occupied by the construction of the nationalhighway.Ifthefarmwasdividedasshownintheillustrationbelow,howmany parcels were being operated by Kaloy, Karding and Kardo?

Illustration 7.3. Parcels with Man-Made Boundaries

Parcels are counted separately when they are bounded by man-made boundaries like highway, roads, houses, or railways. In this case, since the farm was separated by tenure and man-made boundaries, then it should be counted separately.

1. Separated by tenure status: There are three operators (tenant) cultivating the land owned by Kevin- Kaloy, Karding and Kardo.

2. Number of parcels operated by Kevin's brothers which are separated by manmade boundaries are as follows:

• Kaloy - 2 parcels

• Karding - 3 parcels

• Kardo - 1 parcel

Barangay Coral na Bato is famousfor the numberof mangotrees being cultivated in the area. In Purok 5, Ms. Bustos, Mr. Manahan, Mr. Co, and Ms. Flores are also cultivating mango trees for sale. Bustos’ Farm is a three-hectare land cultivated with mangoes and tomatoes as shown in the illustration below. How many parcels are being operated by Ms. Bustos?

Parcels are also counted separately when bounded by man-made boundaries. However, fences, box plots, hedges, or any architecture that are part of the farm are considered as part of the parcel. In the case of Bustos’ Farm, a road is present between the mango farm while the tomatoes were caged in a fence (refer to the portion encircled in yellow). Thus, there are two parcels.

Onthe other hand,thereare nopresentboundaries betweenManahan'sFarm, Co’s Farm, and Flores’ Farm. The contiguous pieces of land are cultivated with mangoes. How many parcels were operated by each of them?

Even if the pieces of land are contiguous, a parcel must only have one tenure status for it to be counted as one. Unless contiguity and tenure criteria are bothsatisfied, the pieces of landwillnotbecountedasoneparcel.Therefore,Mr.Manahan,Mr.Co,andMs.Floresare operating only one parcel each.

Example 3

Illustration 7.4. Parcels without Man-Made or Natural Boundaries

Mr. Arthur Diaz is residing in Municipality A where he is operating a three-hectare coconut farm. Thecoconut farm is located between the boundary of Municipal Aand Municipal B. One-fourth of the total farm area is already located in Municipal B. How many parcels does Mr. Diaz operate?

The coconut farm of Mr. Arthur Diaz does not have the presence of any natural or man-made boundaries and it also has one form of tenure. However, when a piece of land is bounded by political boundaries such as barangay, municipal and provincial boundaries, then this must be counted separately. In this case, Mr. Diaz is operating two parcels in different locations.

The Nepomuceno family has been managing a coconut farm for almost a decade. When their father died, the farm was inherited tothe sons, Mr. Jack and Mr. Jill who currently lives in different households. As probed by the enumerator, Mr. Jack managed the farm from March 2022 to August 2022 while Mr. Jill managed the farm from September 2022 toFebruary 2023. Who should report the farmparcel?

When there are two or more operators using the same land one after the other during the reference period, it is considered as a parcel operated under rotation.

Inthiscase,Mr.JackandMr.Jillwillreportthefarmparcel,separately.Theenumeratorwill thenlistthenameandaddressofthepersonwhooperatedandsharedtheparcelwiththem during the reference period in items 3B15 and 3B16, respectively.

3B07 What was the total physical area of the farm?

Record the total physical area of the farm in hectares up to four decimal places on the line provided.If the areareportedis awhole number,four zeroes(0000) shouldbe writtenafter the decimal point. For example, if the area of the parcel is 1 hectare, write1.0000.

● Area Reported in Whole Number

1 ha. = 1. 0 0 0 0 = 1.0000 ha.

If the area planted given by the respondent is in square meters, convert this tohectares by dividing it by 10,000 or move the decimal point four places to the left. For example, 200 square meters is equal to 0.0200 hectare. For physical area less than 10 square meters or 0.0010 hectare, write 0.0010 on the boxes provided. See examples below.

SUBSECTIONB-3. STRUCTURE OFTHE FARM PARCEL

3B08 Parcel Number

Items on Subsection B-3 are formatted in tabular form in which each row (parcel number) representsoneparcelwhetheroperationalortemporarilyfallowduringthereferenceperiod. There are seven pre-printed parcel number that can be recorded in one printed CAF Form 3.

When using additional questionnaire, make sure to re-number the pre-printed parcel number in 3B08 following the last parcel number in the previous questionnaire.

3B09 Where was the parcel located?

Writethenameoftheprovince/highlyurbanizedcity(HUC)onthespaceprovidedin3B09a, the city/municipality name in 3B09b, and the barangay name in 3B09c.

If the reported province/HUC, city/municipality, and barangay is exactly the same with the geographic identification in Section A, copy and enter the geographic codes in the boxes provided and specify “SAME” in the spaces provided. Otherwise, enter the name of the province/HUC, city/municipality, and barangay in the spaces provided and leave the code boxes blank.

3B09 aims to determine the characteristics of the agricultural lands in the barangay and city/municipality level. This is also important when disaggregating land data by administrative units.

3B10 What was the physical area of the parcel?

Record the physical area of the parcel in hectares up to four decimal places on the line provided. Do not round off and enter exact sizeprovided by the respondent.

As defined in item 3B07, PHYSICAL AREA refers to the actual measurement of the land. The area should only be reported ONCE regardless of how many times it was used during the reference period. The area should be obtained for all parcels of land which are part of the farm as ofDecember 31, 2022.

3B10 aimsto determinethe areaof theagricultural lands bylocation.Itcanalsobeusedin generating sample frameand benchmark figures for current statistics on agriculture.

Take note of the following sources of information or estimation technique to obtain an accurate estimate of the area of each parcel especially if the operator does not know or finds difficulty in giving you the exact area of the parcel or parcels operated by him/her.

1. Land title or tax declaration will show the exact area of the parcel. If the agricultural operator is the owner, these documents may beavailable.

2. Compute the area based on estimated information on the length and width of the parcel if rectangular in shape. The formula for computing the area for a rectangular shaped parcelwhere dimensions are in meters:

Area = Length x Width Example: Length = 250 meters; Width= 30 meters

Area = 250m x 30m = 7,500 sq.m.

Converting the area in sq. meters to hectares: Area = 7,500 sqm. x 1 ha./10,000 sqm. = 0.7500 ha.

3. Pace Factor or by measuring the area by pacing/walking. (See Appendix 1 for the instructions on howtoestimatephysical area using the pace factor.)

TENURE STATUS OF THE PARCEL refers to the right under which a parcel is held or operated. Aholdingmaybeoperatedunder asingleformoftenureorunder morethanone form, in which case eachform of tenure must be reported separately by parcel.

A parcel may have any of the following tenure status:

Category

01 Fully owned

Description of Tenure Status

A land operated with a title of ownership in the name of the holder and consequently, the right to determine the nature and extent of the use of the land. Included in this category are lands whose absolute ownership is vested in the holder through sale or inheritance. A parcel, which is a part of the holding, is also considered fully owned if the holder has an absolute deed to the sale of the land. Likewise,landsofthetillerswithEmancipationPatentare considered fully owned.

CADTreferstoatitle formally recognizing the rights of possession and ownership of ICCs/IPs over their ancestral domains identified and delineated in accordance with RA 8371. This also includes lands of ICCs/IPs held under the Memorandum of Usufruct (MOU). According to the Civil Code of the Philippines, the usufruct is entitled to all the benefits he may enjoy or get from the property but limits the right of ownership.

CALT, on the other hand, is a title formally recognizing the rights of ICCs/IPs over their ancestral lands.

CBFMA is alsoa production sharing agreement between (and entered into by) the government and the local community, represented by participating people’s organization as forest managers for a period of 25 years renewableforanother25years,andshallprovidetenurial security and incentives to develop, utilize, and manage specific portions of forest lands.

The Certificate of Stewardship Contract is a contact issued by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to individual occupants in the Integrated Social Forestry (ISF) areas before the implementation of the CBFM program in 1996 pursuant toLetterofInstruction1260whichprovidetenureoverthe parcel of forestland for a period of 25 years, renewable for another 25 years.

Refer to Section 6.7.3 for the detailed discussion of this category.

3B12 aims todescribethe land rights or tenure status present inthe country.Itcan also be used to determine farms without land, operated under one or two tenure form, operated under owner like possession, and rented from someone else.

NOTE: During enumeration, refer to the codes at the bottom of Page 3B. Do not forget to specify other tenure status of the land on the space provided if it is not among the eight tenureclassifications.

3B13 Was the parcel irrigated?

1 Yes

2 No

Enter corresponding code in the box provided.

IRRIGATION refers to purposely providing land with water, other than rain, for improving pastures or crop production. Irrigation usually implies the existence of infrastructure and/or equipment for applying water to crops such as drift irrigation, irrigation canals, pumps, sprinklers, or localized watering systems. It may also include manual watering of plants using buckets, wateringcans, or other devices.

Irrigation includes any process through which water is moved from a water source to apply to an agricultural crop. Water for irrigation may come from various sources,includingrivers,dams,orwells.Theirrigation water may be the product of amajor irrigation scheme serving many farmers over a large area, or a local scheme serving a small community.

Farmers may also carry out irrigation individually, using informal arrangements to obtain water from rivers, streams, wells, or ponds with equipment such as a pump or manual methods such as buckets.

3B13 aims to determine the accessibility of irrigation in the parcel regardless if it was done manually or with infrastructure.

NOTE: The following cases are considered as NOT IRRIGATED:

× Uncontrolled land flooding by overflowing of rivers or streams; and

× Waiting for rainwater towater the parcel, commonly called as rainfed

However, if the rainwater was purposely collected in water reservoirs for the irrigation of the land then this should be considered as irrigated.

Section C gathers information on the operator’s crop farming activities/practices and crop farming operation structures. This section is to be answered by operators engaged in growing of crops, contract growing of trees, growing of ornamental plants for sale, farming/ gardening using hydroponics and aquaponics, and urban farming/gardening.

7.7.1 Subsection C-1. TEMPORARY CROPS

Asoneofthemajorsubsectionsof2022CAFquestionnairesconsistingofthemaindataitems collected in an agricultural census, Subsection C-1 gathers information on the farm activities and practices in growing of temporary crops for the reference period January 01 to December 31, 2022. Specifically, the kinds of temporary crops planted in each parcel, the cropping period within the reference period, that is, the date temporary crop was planted and harvested, number of times the crop was harvested, area planted, and harvested to the crop.

TEMPORARY CROPS are crops grown seasonally and with growing cycle of less than one year. Temporary crops are usually newly sown or planted for further production after each harvest. Examples are rice, corn, root crops such as sweetpotatoandcassava,vegetablessuchassquash,string beans, cabbage and mushroom, and annual ornamental plants such as aster, cabbage rose, and marigold. In the Philippines some temporary crops also grow for more than a year such as strawberries, pineapple, sugarcane, “siling labuyo”, and eggplant.

For the purpose of 2022 CAF, crops gathered/harvested from natural water bodies (e.g., lakes, streams, or rivers) such as kangkongand water lily are EXCLUDED

3C15 aims to link the structure of the parcel to the crops planted. It also serves as an indicator for intercropping.

3C16 What were the permanent crops planted in this parcel?

For each parcel reported, list the crops grown/contracted within the period January 01 to December 31, 2022

Inform the respondent that you want to list the crops with at least one-year growing cycle such as fruit trees, industrial trees, and biennial/perennial ornamental plants. Let the respondent use the Flashcard as aid to enumerate the types of permanent crops. Make sure to probe and include the seedlings/saplings of permanent crops that are planted for less than one year.

If the operator was involved in mixed cropping and/or intercropping, each permanent crop should be accounted and listed in this column. In this case, the parcel number will be the same for each crop. See examples on how to list the type of permanent crops planted as shown in Illustration 7.13.

3C16 aims to determine the different kinds of permanent crops propagated in the barangay/municipality during the reference period. This item is also used in providing sampling frame for PSA’s periodic crops statistical surveys.

3C17 What was the planting manner of this crop?

1 Compact

2 Scattered

Enter corresponding code in the box provided.

COMPACT PLANTING is a manner of planting by which plants, trees and shrubs are planted in a regular and systematic manner, such as in an orchard.Plants,trees,orshrubs forming an irregular pattern, but dense enough to be considered an orchard, are also considered acompact plantation.

SCATTEREDPLANTING, onthe other hand, is a manner of planting that it is not possible to estimate the area. Often, plants, trees, and shrubs are scattered around the farm.

3C17aimstoprovideabaseforestimatingcropareaandproductioninthefollowingyears. For example, the current crop area could be obtained by estimating the change in the crop area since the census reference year. This can also provide benchmark figures for current statistics on permanent crops, especially for trees not grown in plantations.

HYDROPONICS SYSTEM is a growing plant system that does not use soil but uses water with nutrients to save space planting and not contaminated with chemicals in the soil. This can be either active or passive. Active means that nutrient solutions will be moved, usually by a pump. Passiverelies on a wick or the anchor of the growing media.

For the purpose of the 2022 CAF, type of hydroponics system is any of the following:

Category

Description of Hydroponics System

1 Flow and Drain Flow and Drain (Ebb and Flow) systems are very popular with home hydroponic growers for many reasons. The versatile system is relatively lowcost to set up and requires an intermediate level of skill to maintain. This action is normally done with a submerged pump that is connected to a timer.Thetimerissettocomeonseveraltimesa day, depending on the size and type of plants, temperature, humidity, and the type of growing medium used.

2 Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) A hydroponic technique where in a very shallow stream of water containing all the dissolved nutrientsrequiredforplantgrowthisre-circulated past the bare roots of plants in a watertight gully, also known as channels.

Category

Description of Hydroponics System

3 Aeroponics Practice of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of any substrate. That is, the plant roots are suspended in the air and are misted or sprayed periodically with a nutrient solution or aerosol of nutrient solution.

4 Drip Irrigation System

Waterandnutrientsaredeliveredacrossthefield in pipes called ‘dripper lines’ featuring smaller units known as ‘drippers’. Each dripper emits dropscontainingwater andfertilizers,resultingin the uniform application of water and nutrients direct to each plant's root zone, across an entire field.

7.8SECTION D – LIVESTOCK/POULTRY RAISING AND CULTURING OF INSECTS/WORMS

Section D gathers information onthe characteristics of thelivestockand poultryraised and/or the insects and worms cultured by the operator, specifically the kind and number of these animals. The number of animals is the animal population in the farm at a specific point in time, that is, as of September 01, 2023. This section is generally to be filled out by agricultural operators engaged in raising livestock and/or poultry, gamefowl for sale, breeder dogs for sale, pigeons for sale, and/or racehorses for sale, as well as culturing insects and worms. There are cases wherein the agricultural operator is engaged in crop farming and tends work animals for farming. Thesework animals should be reported in this section.

For the purpose of this census, report livestock and poultry regardlessofsex,age,andownership,whethertendedbythe operator himself/herself or anybody under his/her supervision, and whether raised in the farm, in communal grazing lands, or other lands which are not part of the farm. Alsoincludethoselivestockandotheranimalstrainedforand used solely for heavy labor.

RAISING OF LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY is the rearing or farming of animals mainly for agricultural purposes. The animals are usually kept or reared in captivity for meat or for harvest of animal products such as eggs, milk, honey, or silk. In general, raising these animals may involve feeding and putting them in a shelter or letting them pasture in an open field depending on the availability of feedstocks or water. Animals raised include those present in the farm, as well as those being grazed in communal grazing land or in transit at the time of the enumeration.

CULTURINGOFINSECTSANDWORMS refers to the process of creating and maintaining a controlled environment in which insects or worms are bred, raised, and propagated for various purposes such as research, education, and conservation. This includes providing suitable conditions such as temperature, humidity, substrate, and diet, managing populations, and optimizingsurvivalandreproduction.Culturingcanbedoneindifferentsettings,dependingon the species and purpose of the culture.

Enter corresponding code in the box provided. If the answer in 3D08 is code 1 or 2, write the name of integrator, institution, local government unit, or other organization on the line provided, accordingly. This may include Vitarich Corporation and Philippine Carabao Center.

CONTRACT GROWING is the partnership of the animal-raising business owner and a company where their main goal is to raise animals until they reach a certain market size.

Moreover,aCONTRACTGROWER is one who raises the animals for the integrators or for other economic units under certain conditions. The grower provides the housing or the area where to raise the animals, feeds the animals, and provides the utilities and other miscellaneous expenses. Usually, the animals, feeds, andvaccinesaresuppliedbytheintegrator or another party. The grower is then paid an agreed fee in exchange for his labor, management, and use of facilities.

An INTEGRATOR is one who provides all the intermediate inputs required such as chicks, feeds, and vaccine. Once the animals have grown, the integrator handlesthe marketing.

PAIWI,ontheotherhand, is a term commonly used for “paalaga” which refers to a livestock agreement or contract wherein a farmer or individual raises and manages the livestock owned by another party. Under a paiwi agreement, the farmer typically has more autonomy and control over the management decisions and operations such as the dayto-day care and management required for the livestock including feeding, housing, and health maintenance.

3D08 serves as an indicator in determining livestock that are tended/raised by another individual/businessentityforitscareandmanagement.Specialtabulationcanbegenerated for researchers/policymakers who may need this kind of statistics. It can serve as data
