Dili lang kini ordinaryong panagtigom, kini usa ka paghiusa sa mga tawo nga anaa sa likod sa matag lugas sa mais.

Malampusong nahuman ang Focus Group Discussion (FGD) niadtong May 6, 2026 ug Key Informant Interview (KII) niadtong May 7, 2026 isip kabahin sa pagpalambo sa National Corn Value Chain Analysis.

Gipundok niini nga activity ang mga pangunahing players ug stakeholders sa corn industry aron hisgutan ug tun-an ang:
✅ kasamtangang kahimtang sa industriya
✅ mga hagit nga giatubang sa mga mag-uuma ug negosyante
✅ mga oportunidad alang sa pagtubo
✅ ug mga posible nga interventions para sa mas produktibo, sustainable, ug inclusive nga corn sector.

Nagkahiusa sa maong kalihokan ang mga representante gikan sa:
🌽 seed suppliers
🌽 fertilizer ug agrochemical distributors
🌽 farm equipment suppliers
🌽 millers
🌽 traders ug wholesalers
🌽 local government units
🌽 academe
🌽 ug national government agencies

Usa kini ka dakong lakang aron mapalig-on ang koneksyon gikan sa produksyon hangtod sa merkado — alang sa mas maayong kaugmaon sa atong mga mag-uuma ug sa agrikultura sa nasud.

Ang maong study gipangulohan sa Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) ug gi-facilitate sa DA-PRDP I-PLAN Component Team gikan sa NPCO, PSO, ug RPCO.

Padayon ang paningkamot. Padayon ang pagtinabangay. Padayon ang paglambo sa corn industry sa Pilipinas!

The DA-PRDP I-PLAN Component successfully rolled out the Pre-FGD Consultation and Stakeholder Mapping for the National Corn Value Chain Analysis on April 28–30, 2026 in Malangas, Zamboanga Sibugay, Pagadian City, and Molave, Zamboanga del Sur, bringing key players together where it matters most.

Dakong pasalamat sa Municipal Agriculturists sa Malangas ug Molave, ug sa Provincial Agriculturist ug Corn Coordinator sa Zamboanga del Sur. Pinaagi sa inyong lig-on nga suporta, mas napalalom ang atong kolaborasyon ug napalig-on ang pundasyon para sa mas komprehensibong pagtan-aw sa corn value chain.

More than consultations, this is a decisive step toward data-driven solutions, stronger value chains, and sustainable growth for the corn sector.

Padayon ta - kay ang kalamboan sa agrikultura, atong responsibilidad ug atong kaugmaon.

🌱 Stronger plans. Smarter investments.

On March 24–26, 2026, key planners, technical experts, and local leaders came together at Balay Bisaya, Pagadian City with one shared goal: to shape the future of the province’s priority commodities through a more strategic and investment-ready Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP).

At the heart of this effort is the Provincial Core Planning Team (PCPT), bringing together the expertise of the Provincial Agriculture and Veterinary Office, Provincial Planning and Development Office, and Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. Their collaboration ensured that planning is not only technically sound, but also integrated, data-driven, and climate-resilient.

With focus on key commodities such as coconut, corn, rice, swine, seaweeds, banana (cardava), bangus, coffee, cacao, rubber, mango, cassava, calamansi, abaca, and durian, the team worked hand in hand to:
✔️ Align strategies with real market conditions
✔️ Strengthen value chain interventions
✔️ Incorporate climate resilience and risk-informed planning
✔️ Develop actionable, investment-ready plans

Through intensive workshops and collaborative sessions, the updated PCIP now stands as a strong roadmap for inclusive growth, empowering farmers, fisherfolk, and agripreneurs across the province.

With the technical guidance of the DA-PRDP RPCO 9 I-PLAN Component, the process ensured that every plan is grounded on solid analysis, validated data, and forward-looking strategies.

This is more than a plan, it is a commitment to build a more competitive, resilient, and sustainable agriculture sector for Zamboanga del Sur.

From planning to purposeful investments, a new direction for agriculture and fisheries in the Zamboanga Peninsula begins.

Officially launched before the members of the DA RMC IX, the Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Investment Portfolio (RAFIP) marks a major milestone in transforming how agricultural investments are to be prioritized, designed, and delivered across the region.

More than a document, RAFIP serves as a unified, evidence-based investment roadmap, translating real challenges on the ground into bankable, climate-responsive, and market-driven solutions.

Covering priority value chains including:
✅ Rice
✅ Corn
✅ Rubber
✅ Coconut
✅ Seaweed
✅ Cacao
✅ Swine
✅ Milkfish (Bangus)

RAFIP ensures that every intervention responds directly to farmers’ realities while strengthening long-term competitiveness and resilience.

🤝 Through stronger internal alignment and convergence with partners, the portfolio promotes:
✨ Strategic sequencing of investments
✨ Value chain–oriented development
✨ Climate resilience and disaster responsiveness
✨ Market competitiveness and inclusive growth

This initiative reinforces DA RFO IX’s commitment to smarter governance — where data guides decisions, partnerships amplify impact, and investments create lasting transformation for farmers, fisherfolk, and rural communities.

Planning with purpose. Investing with direction. Delivering impact.
