CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
The agriculture sector plays a major role in the process of developing the local economy.
One of the major agricultural commodities in the Philippines is Coconut and being the
third largest coconut products with coconut oil producer in the world. The market for
coconut products is continually expanding due to health and environmental forces that
influences customer preferences and demands. High value products such as virgin
coconut oil, coconut water and activated carbon are creating new markets worldwide.
And as one of the top coconut producing countries, the Philippines is a player in these
emerging products.

In Butuan City, under the leadership of City Mayor Ronnie Vicente Lagnada, the city’s
agriculture sector is given much support to spur its performance and secure the food of
the locality. Coconut is one of the major commodities produced in the city and
recognized as the most important agricultural crop and a major source of livelihood.

Butuan City contributes 12 % of total coconut production in the Caraga Region with the
total area of 2483 hectares (PCA Regional Profile 2019). Currently, the local industry of
coconut suffered due to the effect of continuing price decrease of whole nut and copras
in the market. Addition of these are unregulated conversion of agricultural land for
urban expansion, lack of farm to market roads, lack of coconut processing plants, peace
and order situation, and limited market of village level value added products. With this
constraints, there is a need a development plan and intervention to be applied to lift the
local industry of coconut especially in Butuan City as agro industry hub in the Caraga
Region.

1.2 Rationale

To address the declining industry of coconut, the local coconut industry sector of
Butuan City needs to be competitive and sustainable. To do this, the Office of the City
Agriculturist with intends to adopt the value chain development approach in developing
the coconut industry sector.

This document, the Butuan City Coconut Development Plan serves as a medium-term
plan of establishing a competitive coconut industry sector of Butuan City. One of the
brief agenda of City Mayor Ronnie Vicente C. Lagnada is to make the Butuan City as agro
industrial hub in Caraga Region which can create more jobs and boom the economic
actvity in the city. With the large area of coconut area in the region, this plan will be
helpful in formulating program and projects to be competitive in coconut production
which leading to establish coconut processing plant in Butuan City . This plan will
provide direction in policy formulation in the next few years and steer public and
private investments to the City Government of Butuan. The Butuan City Coconut
Development Plan also sets the priorities in developing the coconut industry sector and
would be used as basis for defining spending plans of the Office of the City Agriculturist
and other government agencies in the coming years.

1.3 Scope and Duration of the Plan

The Coconut Development Plan of Butuan City is a five (5) year plan starting year 2019
to 2024, formulated to address on the rehabilitation and development of coconut
industry.

1.4 The Coconut Development Plan Formulation Process

The formulation of the Coconut Development Plan has been a participatory and
inclusive process involving consultation with key stakeholders in the agricultural sector
including the farmers’ associations and local commodity champions or industry
clusters.

Stakeholders were involved through participation in thematic working groups, where

important issues and ideas were identified, discussed, analyzed and agreed upon for
incorporation into the plan document. Another significant involvement of stakeholders
was in the review of various development chapters of the plan.
The formulation of this plan has also benefited from a number of studies, which either
brought in new information or informed discussions around different ideas. These
included the Butuan City Commodity Investment Plan, the Agri-fishery Modernization
Investment Plan and various commodity road maps.

The plan was drafted by the Planning Division of the Office of the City Agriculturist
Office

1.5Coconut Development Plan Structure

The plan is comprised of seven chapters. Chapter 1 is a short introduction while Chapter
2 is the Butuan City Profile. Chapter 3 presents the Agricultural Profile specifically the
Coconut Profile in Butuan City. Chapter 4 presents the accomplishments of the
agriculture sector through the examination of the factors affecting its performance. Also,
the key opportunities and constraints of the agriculture sector and its sub-sectors are
also described and presented. Chapter 5 presents City Development Direction and the
strategic objectives. In Chapter 6 is the Develoment Plan Components packaged into
major programs/projects and sub-projects/sub-programs. Each of these sub-
projects/sub-programs is presented in detail by investment area and activity with
associated costs. The overall budget to implement the plan is presented in Chapter 7
with the discussion of the investment requirement, as well as other financing issues.
Chapter 8 covers the implementation framework and the required arrangements to
implement the plan. Chapter 8 presents an outline of the proposed Monitoring and
Evaluation framework that will measure progress towards results and deals with the
immediate actions needed to start implementation
CHAPTER 2: BUTUAN CITY PROFILE

1.7 Geographical location and Physical setting

Butuan is a highly urbanized city

located in the province of Agusan del
Norte, Region XIII (CARAGA) situated in
the Northeast Mindanao, Philippines.
The city is bounded by Butuan Bay on
the northwestern part, on the west side
by the municipality of Buenavista, on
the south by Bayugan City and
Municipality of Las Nieves and finally
on the east by the municipality of
Sibagat. It lies at 8044’ and 9003’
latitude, and 125026’ and 125043’
longitude.

Butuan City’s 81,728 hectares of land is

traversed by 25 out of 350 kilometer Figure 1.1 Geographic location of Butuan City
stretch of the Agusan River. This river is showing Agusan River traversing the city
3rd of the largest river basins in the
Philippines draining in Butuan City (see
Error: Reference source not found.1).

The city’s topography has a flat north-

central area with steeper peripheral
area. Around 38% of the total land area
of the city is relatively flat with a 0-8%
slope while 36% land area has an 8-
18% slope.
When combined, 74% of the total land
area has a nearly level to moderately

1.3 Soil Characteristics

Butuan City is situated on wide coastal lowlands on San Luis alluvial plain (new alluvium
soil). The lowlands were formed by the accumulation of silt and gravel. They are fertile and
suitable for cultivation of various crops. Majority of its soil is loam. Generally, loams are
moderately fine or coarse in texture with well to moderate draining capacity. Around 24%
of Butuan City soils are Camansa Loam located 60m above sea level. It is slightly prone to
slight to moderate erosion which suitable for built up use with proper structural
interventions, prime agricultural crops and pasture. Soils on a 10-20% slope have very low
risks to erosion.

1.4 Climatic Condition

1.4.1 Ambient Temperature

Based on the PAGASA-DOST records from 1971-2000, Agusan del Norte’s (location of
Butuan) average monthly temperature from March to November ranged from 27.4°C to
27.8°C. Cooler season occurring during DJF (December, January, February), is 1 degree less
compared to the warm periods. Its warmest temperature occurs during the months of June,
July and August (See Table ).

Table shows that historically, temperatures in Butuan City from 1971-2000 and 1981-
2010 have increased already. In DJF, temperature increased by 0.2 degrees, JJA and SON
increased by 0.3 degrees and MAM had a 0.4-degree increase.

1.4.2 Rainfall

PAGASA-DOST classifies Butuan City’s climate Type II under the Corona Climate
Classification (De Guzman, 2013). With Type II classification, the city’s prominent rain falls
from December to February with the minimum rainfall occurring from April to May. Rain
falls the entire year in Butuan City.
Least amount of rain and rainy days occurred during April, May and August (104.8mm/mo
to 107.2mm/mo.) and least number of rain days in a year (13-14 days). Highest amount of
rain and number of rain days occurred during November, December, January and February
(211.8mm/mo to 308.0mm/mo.).

1.4.3 Extreme Weather Events

According to a report of the Department of Agriculture (BSWM, 2010), ENSO-induced

droughts that affected Northeastern Mindanao, including Butuan City, occurred in August
1977 to March 1978 which caused moderate rice and corn production losses in Mindanao
except Davao.

In April to September 1987 there were moderate effects in Northeastern Mindanao that
caused agricultural damages and hydropower generation losses of PhP316 million. Severe
effects of drought in Butuan occurred in 1968-1969, 1982-1983, 1991-1992 and in May
1997 to April 1998 El Niñ o episodes map in the Philippines developed by PAGASA-DOST
(BSWM, 2010).

From 1971 to 2000, Butuan City had 324 days with temperatures higher than 35°C with
4,997 number of dry days. Some of these dry spells are caused by the El Niñ o. During the
observed period there is only one (1) recorded number of days when rain fall beyond
200mm per day.

1.5 Projected Climate Change in Butuan City

PAGASA-DOST projected the climate changes using a mid-range emission scenario (A1B) of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The A1 scenarios considered rapid
economic growth, global population that rose to 9 billion then gradually declines, quick
spread of new and efficient technologies, and extensive social and cultural interactions
worldwide.

The A1B has a balanced emphasis on all energy sources both fossil and non-fossil fuels.
PAGASA-DOST used two time slices for the analysis: (1) centered on 2020 (2006-2035) and
(2) 2050 (2036-2065). The analysis of this V&AA report focused on the 2020-time slice.

Based on projections, three (3) drivers will contribute to the climate changes in Butuan
City, namely: 1) increasing temperature, 2) changes in seasonal rainfall, and 3) increasing
occurrences of extreme events in 2020 and 2050.
Increasing Seasonal Temperature

By 2020, temperature in the

31 Observed Baseline
months of March, April, may
2020
(MAM) and June, July, August 30
2050
(JJA) will increase from almost 29
28°C to 29°C. Based on the 28
medium scenario projections
made by PAGASA-DOST, Butuan 27
City will have a temperature 26
increase of 0.9°C to 1.0°C in 2006 25
to 2035. Highest change of 1°C
will occur on DJF. According to 24 DJF MAM JJA SON
PAGASA-DOST studies, this 2020
temperature increase will cause Figure 1.6 Comparison of the Observed and
stronger and more frequent projected temperature increases in Butuan City
storms, drought, floods and heat
wave intensities as well as
extensive damage to coral reefs. By 2050, increases will be 1.0°C to 1.2°C. By 2020 and
2050, JJA will be the warmest months.

Changes in Seasonal Rainfall

Generally, Butuan City will experience dryer seasons from 2006-2035 except for the
months of SON. SON will have 5% more rain. The months of MAM will have significant
precipitation decrease of 24.4% and 36.5% in rainfall by 2020 and 2050 respectively.
These months, including JJA, will be dryer. Rainfall during DJF will decline a little (0.8%) in
2020 but will increase by 13.8% by 2050 (see Error: Reference source not found). Similar
to the observed rainfall, DJF will still have the highest amount of rain throughout the year.

Increase in Extreme Events

The number of days with temperatures above 35°C will increase drastically from 324 days
to 2,855 days in 2020 or 781 times more than the observed period. By 2050, this will be
1,372 times more (4,767 days with temperature above 35°C). These are more likely to
occur in the months of MAM and JJA.

The number of dry days will increase from 4,997 to 6,300 days or 26% more than the
observed period compared to the 2020 data while by 2050, the increase will be 36% more
than the observed. In August 2012, dry spells in Agusan del Norte prevented rice and crop
planting due to insufficient rain (see Error: Reference source not found).

Error: Reference source not found shows that during the observed period of 1971-2000,
there was only one day with extreme rainfall (251-300mm/day). On 2006-2035, there are
going to be 17 days (1600% increase) with rainfall exceeding 200mm/day. By 2050, this
number will be 2400% more. These extreme rainfalls will occur during the wet seasons.
According to PAGASA-DOST, this amount of rainfall will cause rivers and tributaries to
overflow and will submerge low-lying areas.

The above table indicates that almost 2% out of the total number of families in Butuan City
are salaries and wage earners from the agriculture sector although the number of
entrepreneurial activities being conducted are almost the same. This is probably due to the
practice of “Pakyawan Systems” employed in the agricultural sector.

Chapter 3: AGRICULTURAL PROFILE

Economic development of Butuan City is drawn from the potentials and opportunities of
agriculture and fisheries. The City was once famous for its Timber Resources decades
ago and was the prime mover of its economic development. The over exploitation of its
timber resources at a rapid pace without establishing complementary industries to
offset the lost economic opportunities has brought the economic growth of Butuan City
to a standstill. This is also aggravated by the issuance of E.O. 23 which as per record
increases job displacements.

Agriculture features prominently in Butuan City’s economy and contributes a modest

percentage to its income. As per record from the Office of the City Agriculturist, more or
less 19,870 hectares are devoted to agricultural crops (staple : rice and corn , plantation
crops : oil palm, rubber and coffee , root crops : cassava, sweet potato, fruit trees :
mango, durian , pineapple and others). The promotion and development of these
commodities have in a way contributed to the local economy.

There are initiatives by some multinational corporations to establish large scale

plantations in Butuan City ranging from 10,000 hectares cassava plantation by a
Malaysian Firm and San Mguel Foods Incorporated, Cacao Plantations by Kennemer
Foods International, and Oil Palm by a Malaysian Firm and the Filipinas Palm Oil
Plantations Incorporated. Financial Services are to be provided by Land Bank of the
Philippines through loans and guaranteed by these firms. The oil palm initiative in
Barangay Florida and the Cassava inititive in Barangay Manila de Bugabus were
jumpstarted but owing to a variety of reasons, performed dismally.

Despite some gains, several calls and challenges have to be addressed for longer term
development. One of them is to develop and adopt technologies (farming systems)
which can increase the over-all productivity and profitability. Another is to ensure that
whatever are produced, the surplus will be marketed taking into consideration the
factors/variables such as transportation, processing and marketing costs. Another
challenge is the preservation of the integrity of the environment and the resiliency of
the farms to climate change. What we failed to integrate in the planning process is the
development of the value chains in a given commodity and bringing out the risks
assumptions and its management.

To date. Butuan City has still around 21,000 hectares of lands available for agricultural
development. That area is exclusive of disaster prone areas (flooding) which can still be
utilized subject to some mitigation measures.

The Butuan City Food Security Plan is formulated and designed to bring out the best
options in developing the fixed but shrinking land resources in Butuan City by adopting
the Value Chain Development Approach.
The Plan is also the guide of the City Government of Butuan in providing the food
requirements and human security to its citizenry in the years to come.

 3.7 Consumption of Agricultural Commodities
Consumption of food commodities in Butuan City is difficult to estimate. Butuan City as
the regional center has variable population. Several other factors affect the estimates of
food consumption, notwithstanding that Butuan City is the hub of industry, commerce
and services in Caraga Region.

In order to project the food consumption of Butuan City, this plan utilizes the available
data from the Philippine Statistics Agency (PSA), specifically the per capita consumption
of Agusan del Norte.

Coconut, as a commercial crop is one of the major sectors of the Philippine Agriculture,
others being rice, corn, and sugar. Coconut comprises almost 30% of the total
agricultural land of the country which is stretched-out in 68 of 79 provinces consisting
of 1,195 municipalities. With over 338 million bearing trees, its annual average
production is 15.344 billion nuts or 43 nuts per tree every year but its main interest is
producing copra, manufacturing virgin coconut oil, and desiccated coconuts.

In Butuan City and in Caraga Region, the coconut husks are often discarded; more or
less fifty percent (50%) of these are used to fuel in drying up produced copra while the
rest left rotten or wasted. Since these fiber dusts will take at least 20 years to
decompose its disposal can become a problem. While these husks are rejected, they can
have variety of uses, such as ropes, geotextiles which are being used for engineering
construction and erosion netting, binder-less fiber boards, doormats, baskets, dusts or
coco peats are used as organic fertilizers, rooting media, horticulture pots, fillers, pads
or liners, and mattresses among others.

Other constraints in coconut industry are shown below:

 Rice and Corn Processing Complex
 Food Processing Centers
3. Center of Excellence in Organic Agriculture
 Divesified Demo Farm in Brgy. Pigdaulan
 Butuan City Rice Research Center in Brgy. Los Angeles

5.2 Coconut Development Governance Statement

Vision:

A dynamic and vibrant coconut sub-sector industry driven by an empowered

stakeholders and players focused on the transformation of the coconut production
systems, the product itself and the market with the end view of creating new
investments, new job creation and new industries development.
Mission:

The Office of the City Agriculturist act as the impetus to achieving farm
productivity with high quality coconut products and advocating a strong and active
partnership with the coconut stakeholders.

Strategic Objetives

The plan seeks to increase income and employment in farm related and value
adding activities and to improve competitiveness of Local Coconut Industry

1. Learning and Development Services

Intended clienteles (farmers and coconut industry-based entrepreneurs) are
informed and empowered through appropriate training and logistic support. These are
in the form of location specific technology demonstration, farmers’ field days and the
provision of information and educational materials.

2. Information Support Services

To build the competitiveness of the local coconut industry, information needed
by concerned stakeholder-farmers, coconut processors and other industry players are
to be made readily available by the Office of the City Agriculturist so that these players
can make the proper decision. This will be done in close coordination with the
Philippine Coconut Authority.

3. Production Support Services

The plan will allocate funds to be taken from the 20% Development fund of the
City Government of Butuan with partnership with the Philippine Coconut Authority for
the purchase of high yield coconut varieties and natural salt fertilizers will be provided
to the coconut farmers on a roll over basis. Others are purchase of fruit trees seedling
and cacao seedlings and vegetable seeds to promote coconut diversification system in
between with coconut palms.

Goal 4. Easy Access to Credit

The target is the individual farmer and farmers’ organizations for their
capitalization.

Goal 4. Post-Harvest Facility

 Provision of kukum copra dryers, multi-purpose drying pavements,
warehouses and hauling trucks. This will be provided to lead
association/cooperative in the coconut production areas.

Goal 5. Coconut Processing Plant

To be resilient in times of price volatilities, coconut farmers must no depend on
copra alone. Value added processing of various products can increase the income of
farmers and create jobs in the locality. In Butuan City and Caraga Region, where the
coconut husk considered as farm waste abundant in coconut communities, there is
much potential to further the develop the coconut husk into high quality coconut husk
products. Other is to develop the coconut water processing technologies which is high
demand both global and domestic market.

Goal 6. Construction, improvement and rehabilitation of farm to market

roads and bridges
The poor condition of existing road networks especially the barangay road
networks poses a threat to the industry. For one, it can increase cost of transportation
leading to lower competitiveness of the coconut products of the city. Identification of
locations where the construction and rehabilitation of farm-to-market road is much
needed. This can be done by the Barangay Council through the assistance of the AT
assigned in the particular barangay. Specifications of the proposed road network,
nature of assistance needed, including benefits and required budget must be stated in
details. The Office of the City Agriculturist shall consolidate the requested intervention
for submission to the DA-RFO 13 for consolidation and fund sourcing.

Goal 7. Marketing Development

To improve market access of coconut products, the conduct of market
promotional campaigns in the niche markets through participation in high impact rate
exhibitions, technical seminars on the health and environmental aspects of coconut
products must be intensified. Coconut products must have certification to ensure the
food safety and quality like Organic Certification, GAP and GMP/HACCP

Goal 8. Research and Development

Low efficient and high cost machineries are the major constraints in coconut
processing. Continued research and development is a must to innovate new
technologies in coconut farming and processing.
CHAPTER 6: DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
The Office of the City Agriculturist is mandated to develop the agriculture sector of
Butuan City relative to its strategic objectives of ensuring a food security for the people
of Butuan City for the present and future generation. As a develop tool to implement the
development mandate, the herein development conceptual framework is hereto
presented.

The development process as illustrated in the framework is undertaken in 5 segments

interconnected with each other to attain the development goal of a competitive and
sustainable coconut sector. Each segment of the development process defines the
dimensional issues and concerns that needs to be addressed in order to attain the
strategic objectives. Below the segments are the operators/key players who have
interests and stakes in agricultural development. On the bottom line of the framework
are the enablers whose interests are geared on establishing the environment that will
promote the general welfare of the people.
CHAPTER 7: DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Office of the City Agriculturist in its mandate of ensuring that the City of Butuan is assured of a sufficient and quality supply of

 CHAPTER 9 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

9.1 Introduction
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a management tool that ensures that policy,
programme and project results are achieved by measuring performance against plans
and drawing lessons to inform future implementation effectiveness. Butuan City, Office
of the City Agriculturist envisions to underscores the importance of monitoring and
evaluation as a tool for tracking implementation of development programmes and
projects as well as upholding public accountability and transparency.

9.2 Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

The office will establish a monitoring and evaluation system and it will be use to ensure
that the set targets and outputs are realized as outlined in the strategic plan. The
monitoring process will help assess whether the implementation is on course and
establish the need for any adjustments in light of the changing socio-economic
environment.

Evaluation of the City’s programmes / projects and activities will be undertaken in the
middle and at the end of the Strategic Plan period. The mid-term evaluation will aim to
quantify progress made in implementation and provide information to guide review of
activities and strategies where necessary. The end-term evaluation will assess whether
set objectives were achieved and document the effectiveness, impact and sustainability
of the programmes/projects. This will inform the development of the next strategic
plan.

The M&E function will be effective if it has the requisite capacity in terms of resources
and equipment. The office will therefore ensure that all programmes and projects have
a dedicated budget to facilitate M&E operations and capacity building. In line with the
principles of results based management, the office will foster partnerships and
collaboration with other agencies and development partners and the Butuan City
citizens to ensure delivery of development results. The office will also develop and
implement an M&E communication strategy to facilitate feedback and sharing of
information on programmes and projects.

46
9.3 Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting
A credible monitoring and evaluation system ought to be supported by accurate and
reliable data on the variables that are being measured. Data will therefore be collected
using appropriate data collection tools and survey methods. The data collected and
reported at each level will be subjected to quality checks and validation to ensure
completeness, consistency, accuracy and reliability before releasing it to users. The
office will ensure that there is adequate capacity for generating quality data.

Respective programme and project implementers will be expected to systematically

collect both qualitative and quantitative data on implementation progress of their
projects. The City Project Management and Implementing Unit (CPMIU) will be
responsible for the accuracy and reliability of M&E data and will therefore undertake
scheduled validation missions to projects/ activity sites to verify the data submitted by
implementers. The validation missions will provide a forum for project implementers
and the CPMIU to discuss any significant variations in performance and make
appropriate recommendations to ensure achievement of targeted results.

9.4 M&E Committee

A Monitoring and Evaluation Committee will be established to spearhead monitoring
and evaluation of programmes and projects in the City. The M&E will be chaired by the
City Mayor

And the Head CPMIU will act as its Secretary. All heads of departments will be members
of the M&E Committee.
