message from the chairman of the board The year 2011 marks another important milestone for SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project (ADP) Office. It very well supported the key programs and initiatives of the Department of Agriculture in providing safe and sufficient food to our people amidst the natural disaster encountered during the year. The dynamic participation of the local governments, private sector and non-government organizations in the SOCSKSARGEN ADP Board, paved way to the orderly and fast-tracked development of agricultural projects. The Board also approved significant policies directed towards smooth implementation of the SOCSKSARGEN Integrated Food Security Program. Through this, farm-tomarket roads and agriculture support facilities are made sustainable. In the promotion of an integrated area development approach, we have strengthened coordination and collaboration with other national government agencies for the development of vital transport facilities in SOCSKSARGEN such as the airport, seaports and regional road networks which will hasten exports of agriculture commodities. Various interventions for the modernization of these facilities have been identified and promoted for public-private partnership. Bilang Chairman ng SOCSKSARGEN ADP Board, binabati natin ang bumubuo ng SOCSKSARGEN
ADP Office, ang mga ka-partner na LGUs, at kasama mula sa pribadong sektor, non-government organizations at iba pa sa kanilang pagtutulungan para patuloy na maiangat ang sektor ng agrikultura. Sa taong 2012, nahaharap ulit tayo sa mga panibagong hamon upang mapanatili o di kaya’y mahigitan pa ang kaunlaran na ating nakamtan. Tulong-tulong tayo sa pag-angat ng mga magsasaka, mula sa pagiging producers hanggang sa pagiging progresibong katuwang sa kaunlaran ng rehiyon. Mabuhay!
PROCESO J. ALCALA Secretary
message from the vice-chairman Greetings of Peace and Food Security! Foremost, I would like to thank my colleagues in the SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project (ADP) Board for their support since I assumed post in October 2011. It is my pleasure to serve SOCSKSARGEN thru the ADP which, for so many years, has been a catalyst for economic growth and development of the area. We are especially grateful to our early leaders who, having recognized the potential strength of SOCSKSARGEN, set a vision and carried-out the growth initiatives through this special body for the last twenty years. The extension of the project until 2016 as provided in Executive Order No. 16, series of 2010 is again calling for continued partnership among key players and stakeholders in the implementation of food security and key development plans and programs in support to peace and development in Mindanao. Our development interventions under the SOCSKSARGEN Integrated Food Security Program are vital to enhancing the capabilities and the quality of life of our rural farmers. Relevant initiatives aimed at improving transport and food trade are actively pursued by the Board. It significantly passed and endorsed resolutions engaging the support of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the conduct
of feasibility studies and completion of priority intra-regional road networks that will provide the people of SOCSKSARGEN access to more economic opportunities. It also pushed for the improvement of the General Santos City airport to optimize its use and adequately cater to current and future demands. Such concerns were actively heeded by the Department of Transportation and Communication and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. I therefore commend the committed men and women of the SOCSKSARGEN ADP Office, our partner Local Government Units, national government agencies, non-government organizations and the private sector for undertaking the various initiatives during the year. Rest assured that we at the ADP Board will continue to push for significant policies and interventions to ensure stable food supply, combat poverty and bring equitable economic progress to SOCSKSARGEN.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) allocated a Special Budget in the amount of PhP 50 million for the ADP Office in 2011. Despite the late release of funds from the Department of Budget and Management, timely implementation of food security projects was carried-out, with the procurement process completed in the 4th quarter and project mobilization/construction initiated in December 2011. Rescheduling of the program activities from the 1st semester to 2nd semester of the year was undertaken, devoting the early part of the year in the updating and review of proposed projects for the period 2012 to 2016 and in assisting Local Government Units (LGUs) in the preparation of the CY 2011 pre-project implementation requirements.

Co mpl eted Pro j e ct s Rehabilitation of Golden Plains-Purok Blel FMR Brgy. Sinawal, General Santos City
The community living in Barangay Sinawal of General Santos City experienced multitude of opportunities and saw their lives change since the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program-funded road was rehabilitated in May 2011. The improved Golden Plains-Purok Blel Farm-to-Market road has widened the old narrow path farmers used to haul their produce, which provided efficient postharvest handling services, both for commodities and facilities (e.g. travelling shellers), and encouraged new business ventures in high value crops and vegetables such as the recent establishment of shallot onion plantation in the area.
Rehabilitation of Datal Bila – Gomelo – Datal Batong FMR Malungon, Sarangani
Rehabilitated in 2011, the 13.02 – kilometer Datal Bila-Gomelo-Datal Batong FMR in Malungon, Sarangani Province is now improving the socio-economic activities of the locality. Costing PhP 9.8 million, the improvement of the road increased vehicle traffic in the area by 70-80%, mostly supporting transport of agri products from the production sites to the market places. The average daily number of vehicle passing the area grew from 3-5 vehicles in the prior years to about 65 vehicles at present. Available mode of transport in the area includes motorcycles, hauling trucks, and other four-wheeled vehicles. Now, farmers save about 45 minutes in time in transporting their products to the nearest market in Polomolok and Malandag municipalities.

Moreover, idle lands have been planted with vegetables, pineapple and corn. Today, an estimated 75 hectares of newly developed areas are being propagated with diverse crops. The road is currently servicing a total agri-area of about 1,600 hectares.
Construction of Training Center Bo. 2, Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat
In 2010, the provincial government of Sultan Kudarat prioritized the construction of the Provincial Training Center in Tacurong City amounting to PhP 3.977 million under the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program, to house training activities aimed at enhancing the capabilities of farmers in crop production. The two-storey building aptly equipped with facilities is now being utilized by the farmers. The facility is located adjacent to the Provincial Soils and Water Laboratory – a project also funded under the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program in 2006. In 2011,

SUCCESS STORIES
“Roads to Better Lives” Tacul-Magbok-Paraiso FMR, Phases 1 & 2 Tulunan, North Cotabato
The rehabilitation of Tacul-Magbok-Paraiso Road was done in 2 phases. The Phase 1 project having a length of 1.5 kilometers was completed in August 2004, while Phase 2 – an extension to the earlier project which has a length of 1.7 kilometers was completed in November 2005. After the road was rehabilitated, local traders and investors flocked to the remote villages of Magsaysay in Davao Del Sur and of Tulunan in North Cotabato, encouraging local farmers to plant selected high value crops for trade. Corn, rubber, banana and coconut plantations dominated the area giving the locals employment and relatively good income. During wet season, farmers in lowland areas were accustomed to planting their fields with rice and replacing it with corn during dry season. A 20% increase in yield was noted thereafter which made local community realize the significance and effects of good road. The local farmers attributed the yield increase
to efficient transport of commodities, introduction to advanced farm technologies and access to farm inputs. “Prior to road rehabilitation, buyers and traders won’t go here; we farmers had to trade our products to the local market. Now we have two options—to sell to the contact buyers, or bring and sell our produce to the nearby market with much ease”, said Mr. Gil Talinting, Sr. a long-time farmer in the area. Moreover, with better roads and increased traffic, small businesses like sari-sari store, vulcanizing shops and other services flourished in the area. The emergence of new economic activities resulted to almost 50% increase in the average household income. Travel time and travel cost dramatically decreased to 75% and 66%, respectively. Consequently, the Local Government of North Cotabato, along with the barangay LGU ensured that the road will be regularly maintained so as to keep the opportunities coming.

Lumbang Asp ang fmr General Santos City
Alejandro Guitan, a small corn farmer of Sitio Aspang, San Jose, together with his son spend long hours of arduous travel using their horse driven cart packed with 5 bags of corn grits to the main road. While his son takes his way home to their Sitio, Alejandro has to wait few hours for passenger jeepneys to haul his products to market. He spends P40 for himself and for each bag of corn for the transportation. With occasional low trade price for corn, Alejandro was paid with small amount of cash just enough to buy essential grocery supplies, and low-cost presents for his children as he goes back home. This situation goes the same as it was for Alejandro and several farmers in the area for many years. Not until the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program with the Local Government Unit of General Santos funded for the rehabilitation of the Lumbang-Aspang Road. This resulted to major changes in the mode of transportation, marketing of farm products, crop diversification and production, thus, sufficiently increased the income of farmers like Alejandro. By providing better road facility for easier and faster access to market, transportation of products were already unnecessary for Alejandro and his fellow farmers in Sitio Aspang, since traders are already travelling directly to their place to purchase
their produce. “We now save the expenses in transporting our farm products as traders personally come to us and buy our products. That’s a big difference for us poor farmers�, said Alejandro. Furthermore, the 6.08 kilometer road (6 meters width) with construction of drainage structures now served 1,314 populace and dramatically spurred agricultural development in almost 900 hectares of farmland. The area is now producing significant volume of farm products like mango, pineapple, banana, corn, onions, asparagus and different kinds of vegetables. The Local Government Unit of General Santos City had also constructed contributory farm roads as corporate plantations for pineapple and banana expand their operation. The benefit of Lumbang-Aspang Farm to Market Road was a picture of agricultural development which translates to higher income for farmers.

“Facilities of Change” Alip Lu m aga CIS Columbio, Sultan Kudarat
Water is a long-time concern of the farmers in Sitios Alip and Lumaga in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat. Most farmers rely on rainfalls for their crops despite enough available water resource from Alip River. The river could sufficiently irrigate the 619 hectares of agricultural land in the area – majority of which are lowland rice areas. However, due to lack of irrigation canals, only farmers near the river can use its waters through manually constructed earth canals. This type of farming provides meager income for most of the farmers – until the construction of a 3.503 km concrete line canals and other irrigation structures under the SOCSKSARGEN Food Security Program in 2000. And now that farmers have realized their long-time dream, they can’t help but wear a smile and reminisce how they have struggled years back. “Since my farm was located 3 kilometers away from the river, I was dependent on heavy rains to irrigate my crops. Most often, we failed as crops do not develop well without ample water. Those were really hard days,” Camilo recalled – now the President of the Alip-Lumaga-Malingen Communal Irrigators Association. “Thanks to the project! Now we don’t worry about irrigation”, he added. Asked about the improvement on his production, he gladly revealed that harvesting 25 to 30 bags per hectare before was already fine. But now, with sufficient irrigation water, plus the adoption of new rice farming technologies taught by the Local
Government Units, “we are now producing almost 80 to 90 bags per hectare, while some may even have more”, said Camilo. This denotes 200-220 percent increase in their average yield which also increased their household income. With the construction of line canals, irrigation water is efficiently distributed to each farmer with less seepage and water loss. The present IA officers formulated policies for the proper management of irrigation facilities, to include the regular cleaning of canal structures and conduct of meetings among the IA members. “Our association ensures that we have enough funds for the maintenance and operation of these facilities out of the irrigation fees collected from the members. The irrigation facility definitely provided sustainable productivity and income not only to the farmers of Alip and Lumaga, but to the entire community”, Camilo added. Note: Data gathered from actual interviews and from the office of National Irrigation Administration
MANI CIS Pha se s 1 and 2 Koronadal City, South Cotabato
Irrigated crops yield higher and provide better income as they give higher assurance of marketing contracts. This credit is due to the efficient irrigation system and fine water source – a testimony from the farmer-beneficiaries of Koronadal City. The rehabilitation of MANI CIS, Phases 1 and 2 in 2000 and 2002, respectively, under the Food Security Program boosted the competitiveness of rice production in this part of Koronadal City – now tagged as one of the major producers of rice in South Cotabato Province. The MANI CIS is managed by MANI Irrigators Association (IA) which has 408 active members covering 469 hectares of rice production. The rehabilitation of MANI CIS cost the government PhP 26.6 million, which covers the repair and construction of additional canal linings.

Annual Report 2011
The rehabilitation of irrigation canals resulting to higher yields brought abrupt increase to the income of farmers. “Before we only produce a maximum of 60-65 sacks of palay per hectare. There were even times when we farmers produce only a single cropping a year due insufficient water in our field. Dry spells, droughts, and pests even worsen the situation.With the project, we now have good supply of irrigation water”, recalled Angel Villanes, an IA member. The facilities you provided improved the distribution of irrigation water to our fields. Palay needs enough water to grow and to produce well; and we now have that water supply we needed. Today, our average production is between 80 to 85 sacks of palay per hectare. This is good enough compared before”, Enrique Belonio, an IA officer said as he expressed his satisfaction over the facility improvement.
The project beneficiaries fully understand that maintenance of irrigation facilities is necessary to sustain their farming activities. Hence, the IA officials and members ensure that there is an available fund for the maintenance and operation of these facilities. “We will surely suffer if any of these facilities are damaged. That’s why we make sure that irrigation fees, primarily for maintenance purposes, are not neglected by the members�, Mr. Belonio shared.
Bayanihan is part of the operation and management scheme of MANI IA. Participation and involvement of the direct beneficiaries is encouraged even during regular cleaning of dikes and performing maintenance and minor repairs of irrigation facilities.

Proposed Projects for Public – Private Partnership Implementation SOCSKSARGEN abounds with various food commodities such as corn, rice, pineapple, mango, banana, asparagus, coconut, coffee, papaya, and other fruit trees, and meat products like pork, beef, and chicken, and also marine and aquaculture fishes with tuna on the frontline. Considering the bulk of these products, major infrastructure and facilities such as an Integrated Food and Transport Terminal and an “AA” – type Abattoir were proposed by the local government of General Santos City for funding and implementation under a Public – Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. In September 2011, the ADP Board passed and approved resolution no. 4 requesting DA to allocate funding and provide technical assistance for the conduct of project feasibility studies for the two PPP projects of General Santos City. The City government has already committed to provide the land as a counterpart to the project. With this development, series of consultation meetings with concerned agencies were conducted, particularly for the preparation of project proposal as a pre-requisite in accessing fund support. A Technical Working Group (TWG) comprised of LGU- General Santos City led by its City Agriculture Office and City Veterinary Office,
the City Economic Management and Cooperative Development Office (CEMCDO), the DA – National Meat Inspection Service, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Private Sector was created to undertake initial project assessment and come– up with the most viable project implementation arrangements. Relative to the on-going assessment of Abattoir and Integrated Food and Transport Terminal projects, the Office facilitated an orientation on PPP participated by the TWG members and Planning Officers of LGUs – South Cotabato, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City in November 2011. The purpose of the PPP briefing is to familiarize with the processes of the PPP Center and learn the various PPP mode of implementation. Further, an observation tour of the Fruit and Vegetable Landing Facility in Cagayan de Oro City and vegetable production sites in Bukidnon was conducted by the group to learn about the farm-to-market operations and sound management practices of the NORMIN Veggies – a model organization handling fruit and vegetable production and marketing in region 10 which employ a PPP-type of operation.
