The access of Support to Emergency and LivelihoodAssistance
Program (SELAP) fund from the Department ofAgriculture was a result
of the EBP Economic Sector'scollaborative effort through its
Chairperson Mr. ChristopherH. Lindo. The “Boosted Utilization of
Grains in Agusan delSur” (BUGAS) was one of the projects that had
beenallocated with P6M as an augmentation for hybrid riceseeds
subsidy.
Support projects andservices were continuouslyprovided in

cluster areas. Cluster areas, cover the municipalities ofBayugan,
Esperanza, Prosperidad, Trento and Sta. Josefa.While non-cluster
areas include the municipalities of Sibagat,Talacogon, San
Francisco, Rosario, Bunawan, Veruela, Loreto,La Paz and San
Luis.
The total effective area planted to corn province wide is24,335
hectares disaggregated into 5,280 hectares for yellowcorn and
19,055 hectares for white corn. Annual production is70,579 MT
(Table 5) of which yellow corn obtained the productionof 21,877 MT
with an average of 4.1 MT and 48,702 MT with an
average of 2.5 MT forwhite corn. The totalfarmers served
are16,405. Table 6showed the municipalityof Trento which has

Hybrid seeds produced by PhilRice which was distributed bythe
office were limited only to RC 72H (Mestizo 1) and RC 116H(Mestizo
3). This is the very reason that we tap private seedcompanies for
the farmers to have options in selecting varieties thatperforms

Our corn production exhibited increasing surplusand sufficiency
level every year. Consumption is only about16% of the total
production which means that bulk of theprovince's produce was
absorbed by feed mills and othercorn processing plant outside the
province. Thisperformance substantiated the noteworthy
collaborationand cooperation of major players of the program
especiallythe corn farmers.

3.2 3.3Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Pre & Post Harvest
Facilities (PPHF)
> Farmers Field School
> Pest and Diseases Monitoring
With the joint endeavor between the ProvincialAgriculture Office
and the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Unit 13, a total
of 240 farmers weretrained for a season-long training on Crop
Protection forthe top three agricultural commodities. Table
13showed the number of FFS conducted & participants inthe
respective municipalities.
Result of the monitoring conducted revealedthat crop loss due to
some major pest and diseases inrice, corn and other agricultural
commodities wasminimal. The continuing Farmers Field School
season-long trainings, the use of organic farming and
otherappropriate technology supported by massivedissemination by
the Agricultural Technologists in thefield have helped a lot.
Provision of pre-and post-harvest facilities is thecommitment of
the provincial government towards food securityand farm
mechanization program of the national administration.In CY 2006,
the Provincial Government in coordination with theDepartment of
Agriculture RFU XIII, allocated P4,904,000.00for the purchase and
distribution of the following facilities:
Mini Combine Harvester 4 units 1,280,000.00

3.4 Small Scale Irrigation Project (SSIP)
> Pump Irrigation System Open Source (PISOS)
There were seven units of Pump Irrigation System OpenSource
(PISOS) were funded by the province as support toBoosted
Utilization of Grains in Agusan del Sur (BUGAS).These were
distributed to different municipalities of the province,
n a m e l y , V e r u e l a ,Bunawan, San Luis,Epseranza and
SanFrancisco with one unitand two for Prosperidad.These units were
alreadyinstalled and operational,adding 129 hectaresirr igated
areas andbenefiting 119 farmer-beneficiaries.
In the same year,the Depar tmen t o fAgriculture funded (5)
units of PISOS thru its Support to Emergency and
LivelihoodAssistance Program (SELAP) and six (6) units under
CaragaIntegrated DevelopmentProgram (CIDP). Totalpotential service
area underthese programs is 215hectares and 125 farmer-benef ic iar
ies. Al thoughPISOS under CIDP werealready delivered,
delayeddelivery of constructionmaterials resulted to
delayedaccomplishment of theproject.
