Department of Agriculture

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
The Department of Agriculture (DA) logo shows a bundle of freshly-harvested stalks of rice. The
golden grains symbolize the goal that the Department seeks to attain for the sector - bountiful harvest
- manifested in agricultural productivity, food security, and self-sufficiency. The green stalks tied
together represent the various agencies and offices of the Department covering its commodity and
functional concerns, i.e., crops, livestock, fisheries, alongside the provision of production support,
research and development, product standards, sectoral policy and planning, credit, marketing support,
extension, training, information and education tied together in a spirit of unity and cooperation to
effectively deliver the package of services essential to attain this “bountiful harvest”.
Legal Basis*
! Presidential Decree No. 461 (May 17, 1974) reorganized the Department of Agriculture and
Natural Resources (DANR) into a Department of Agriculture (DA) and a Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) and provided for the functional and structural configuration of the two
departments.
! Executive Order No. 967 (June 30, 1984) renamed the Ministry of Agriculture (then Department,
in view of the presidential form of government) into a Ministry of Agriculture and Food (MAF).
! Executive Order No. 116 (January 30, 1987) reorganized the MAF into a Ministry of Agriculture,
integrating into it all offices and agencies whose functions relate to agriculture and fisheries.
! Republic Act No. 8435 (December 22, 1997), “The Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act
of 1997”, mandated the Department of Agriculture (in keeping with the presidential form of
government) to formulate and implement a medium and long-term comprehensive Agriculture
and Fisheries Modernization Plan.
Mandate
The Department of Agriculture (DA) promotes agricultural development and growth. In pursuit of this
mandate, the DA provides the policy framework, helps direct public investments, and, in partnership
with local government units, provides the support services necessary to make agriculture and agri-
based enterprises profitable and help spread the benefits of development to the poor, particularly in
the rural areas.
* The birth of an agriculture department in the country can be traced to the establishment of a Department of Agriculture and Manufacturing by
President Emilio Aguinaldo on June 23, 1898. In the early 1900s, the Department experienced various restructuring as Department of Agriculture
and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture and Commerce to Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources in 1947 until the issuance
of PD 461 which established a Department of Agriculture distinct from the Department of Natural Resources.

Agricultural Credit Policy Council
The Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) logo is a visual translation of the
ACPC’s commitment and support to the agriculture sector through a financial
environment conducive to agricultural growth and development. It symbolizes
the two “leaves” of ACPC’s main functions, i.e., the synchronization,
consolidation, and development of innovative rural finance programs on one
hand; and the formulation, review, and advocacy of policies as well as the
provision of institutional capacity building support, on the other. These functions
are linked together and anchored on a common vision: an accessible, effective,
and sustainable financing system that will catalyze agricultural modernization
towards increased productivity and higher quality of life in the countryside.
The logo includes a bundled harvest of palay representing the DA, the mother
agency of ACPC.
Legal Basis
• Executive Order No. 113 (December 24, 1986) established the Comprehensive Agricultural
Loan Fund (CALF) and created the Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) which replaced the
Presidential Committee on Agricultural Credit (PCAC) and the Technical Board for Agricultural
Credit (TBAC).
• Republic Act No. 7607 (June 4, 1992), otherwise known as the Magna Carta for Small Farmers,
provided for the ACPC to expand its coverage to include small farmers, and promote innovative
financing schemes to support the latter’s credit needs.
• Republic Act No. 8435 (December 22, 1997), the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of
1997, provided for the phasing out of Directed Credit Programs (DCPs) and the setting up of the
Agro-Industry Modernization Credit and Financing Program (AMCFP) as the umbrella credit
framework of the ACPC and other credit-related agencies. (The implementing guidelines of RA 8435 and subsequent
other issuances established the role of the ACPC to oversee the AMCFP implementation)
Mandate
The Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) oversees the implementation of the AMCFP, synchronizes
and ensures the economic soundness of all credit policies and programs in support of DA’s priority
programs, and promotes innovative financing schemes for the benefit of small farmers and fisherfolks.

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) logo, which shows the
Philippine sailfish at the center, embodies the lofty ideals and goals pursued by the
Bureau for the country’s fishing industry and its fisheries and aquatic resources.
The sailfish, scientifically known as Istiophorus orientalis, is an oceanic fish, fairly
abundant, that swims near the surface in groups. A relatively tough fish and one of
the fastest in the ocean, it symbolizes the direction towards which BFAR seeks – a
fast, vibrant industry for the sector and a stable and abundant fisheries and aquatic
resource. The three waves embracing the sailfish represent the three major islands
of the country (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) which the Bureau serves.
Legal Basis
! Republic Act No. 177 (June 20, 1947) created the Bureau of Fisheries under the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce. The Division of Fisheries under the said Department and all sections, field
districts, experimental stations and all activities and agencies of the National Government connected
with fishery work were incorporated into the Bureau of Fisheries.
! Republic Act No. 3512 (March 20, 1963) reorganized the Bureau of Fisheries into a Philippine Fisheries
Commission (PFC) under the direct control and supervision of the Secretary of the Department of
Agriculture and Natural Resources (formerly Department of Agriculture and Commerce) to the Bureau
of Fisheries.
! Integrated Reorganization Plan of 1972. (September 24, 1972) renamed the PFC back to Bureau of
Fisheries.
! Presidential Decree No. 461 (May 17, 1974) reorganized the Department of Agriculture and Natural
Resources into two separate departments, i.e., Department of Agriculture and Department of Natural
Resources, and renamed the Bureau of Fisheries as Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
(BFAR) and placed it under the Department of Natural Resources.
! Executive Order No. 967(June 30, 1984) transferred BFAR from the Ministry of Natural Resources
(nomenclature change due to parliamentary form of government) to the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food (MAF), converting it into a staff bureau and integrating its regional offices (ROs) into the MAF’s
ROs.
! Executive Order No. 116 (January 30, 1887) reorganized the MAF into the Ministry of Agriculture and
sustained the staff bureau status of BFAR.
! Republic Act No. 8550 (February 25, 1998), the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998, provided for the
development, management and conservation of the fisheries and aquatic resources and integrated all
pertinent laws into the code, reconstituting BFAR onto a line bureau under the Department of Agriculture
(under presidential form of government this time) and creating the National Fisheries Research and
Development Institute (NFRDI) as the research arm of the Bureau.
Mandate
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is responsible for the development, improvement,
management, and conservation of the country’s fishery and aquatic resources.
The Fisheries agency is one of the oldest structures in the history of the Philippine bureaucracy. Basic functions concerning the development of the
country’s fisheries and aquatic resources were already being undertaken by some agencies (as the Bureau of Science) through a Fisheries Division
in early 1900s. In the 1930s, a Fish and Game Administration (FGA) was established which integrated the Division of Fisheries and Division of
Zoology of the Bureau of Science with the Division of Forest Fauna and Grazing in the Bureau of Forestry. The FGA was transformed back to a
Division of Fisheries under the Department of Agriculture and Commerce in 1939. RA 177 converted the said division into a Bureau of Fisheries.

Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension
The Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension (BPRE) logo shows three
key figures which stand for the purpose and objective the agency vigorously
pursues – the gear at the right side represents agricultural mechanization,
one of the thrusts of BPRE to achieve global competitiveness for the agri-
fishery sector; the yellow oval figure and the gray half-spherical shape under
the gear represent the farmer, the beneficiary of the BPRE‘s programs and
activities, depicted in the logo as harvesting his produce; the green leaves
represent the produced crop of the farming sector and stand for the productivity
which the BPRE and its employees aim for, both for the industry and the
sector it services.
Legal Basis
! Presidential Decree No. 1380 (May 24, 1978) created the National Post Harvest Institute for
Research and Extension (NAPHIRE) as the research and extension arm of the National Grains
Authority (NGA) for post-harvest technology.

(NFA) and, correspondingly, expanded the powers and functions of the NAPHIRE to include
other agricultural commodities.
! Executive Order No. 116 (January 30, 1987) renamed the Ministry of Agriculture and Food
(MAF) into the Ministry of Agriculture (MA), and identified the NFA and its subsidiaries as attached
to the MA, including NAPHIRE as NFA’s research/extension arm.
! Executive Order No. 494 (December 6, 1991), reorganized certain government-owned and
controlled corporations and provided for the regularization of some entities, including the NAPHIRE
which was transformed into the Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension (BPRE) under
the Department of Agriculture (DA).
! Republic Act No. 8435 (December 22, 1997), the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of
1997, defined the role of the BPRE in enhancing agriculture and fisheries development.

Cotton Development Administration
The Cotton Development Administration (CODA) logo shows a fully-

blossomed cotton ball in the center, representing the cotton industry as the
CODA’s focus of development. Cotton is grown economically in various parts
of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, the three major islands of the country,
symbolized in the logo by three bract-like elements at the center of the cotton
ball. The circular backdrop in two shades of green, cut horizontally into 14
pieces, embodies the organizational history of the agency. The two different
shades of green represent the two government agencies, the Philippine Cotton
Corporation and the Cotton Research and Development Institute, that were
merged by virtue of the Cotton Industry Development Act of 1998, giving
birth to the CODA. The horizontal slices represent the 14 cotton-growing
provinces during the time of the merger.
Legal Basis
Republic Act No. 8486 (February 11, 1998), the Cotton Industry Development Act of 1998, merged
the Philippine Cotton Corporation (PCC) and the Cotton Research and Development Institute (CRDI)
into a single entity, the Cotton Development Administration (CODA), attached to the Department of
Agriculture.
Mandate

Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority
The Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) logo is symbolic of the status and role
of the agency as an integral part of agricultural development, with its strengthened
partnership with the Department of Agriculture towards better harvest, health, and
environment through the proper, safe, and judicious use of fertilizer and pesticide.
The grains symbolize agriculture as the source of food and sustenance for the
nation; the green, healthy leaves symbolize fertilizer and pesticide being applied
by the caring hand of a well-informed farmer for a safe, productive, and sustainable
agriculture development.
Legal Basis
• Presidential Decree No. 135 (February 22, 1973) created the Fertilizer Industry Authority (FIA)
“to regulate, control and develop the fertilizer industry in the country to assure the agricultural
sector of adequate fertilizer supply at the lowest possible cost.”
• Presidential Decree No. 1144 (May 30,1977) abolished the FIA and created the Fertilizer and
Pesticide Authority (FPA) as an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture.
• Executive Order No. 116 (January 30, 1987) organized the units of the Ministry of Agriculture
(nomenclature due to reorganization/change in the form of government) and integrated all offices
and agencies whose functions relate to agriculture and fishery into the Ministry (now Department
of Agriculture) with the FPA as one of those agencies attached to it.
Mandate
The Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) is responsible for assuring the agricultural sector of
adequate supply of fertilizer and pesticide at reasonable prices, rationalizing the manufacture and
marketing of fertilizer, protecting the public from risks inherent in the use of pesticides, and educating
the agricultural sector in the use of these inputs.

Fiber Industry Development Authority
The Fiber Industry Development Authority (FIDA) logo, adopted from the logo of
the former Abaca Industry Development Authority, its predecessor organization, is
attached to the Department of Agriculture (DA) logo to show the FIDA’s
organizational and functional attachment to the DA. It depicts a harvest-yellow
flagleaf bordered to its left by three green flagleaf-shaped shadow lines, representing
the country’s three major islands of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao to denote the
countrywide growth area of the Philippine fiber and the fiber industry. The diagonal
and horizontal stripes in the main yellow flagleaf symbolize the various Philippine
fibers (abaca, ramie, maguey, etc.). The youngest leaf that sprouts out of the abaca
plant, the flagleaf signifies the agency’s exuberance in undertaking innovative
programs, activities, and projects designed to promote the growth and development
of the fiber industry. The harvest-yellow and green colors embody the progress
and prosperity that a dynamic and responsive fiber industry portends.
Legal Basis
• Executive Order No. 709 (July 27, 1981) created the Fiber Development Authority (FDA) which
absorbed the functions of the Bureau of Fiber and Inspection Service and of the Abaca Industry
Development Authority (agencies under the Ministry of Industry) placing FDA (as a government
corporation) under the administrative supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture.
• Executive Order No. 116 (January 30, 1987) reorganized the units of the Ministry of Agriculture
and integrated all offices and agencies whose functions relate to agriculture and fishery into the
Ministry, identified the Fiber Industry Development Authority (FIDA, in effect renaming the FDA)
as one of the attached corporations/agencies of the Ministry of Agriculture.
• Executive Order No. 494 (December 6, 1991), reorganizing certain government-owned or

controlled corporations, transformed FIDA as a regular agency under the Department of Agriculture.
MANDATE

environment and interdependence between livestock and poultry commodities
with allied industries. The inclusion of corn in the logo emphasizes the role of
the commodity as basic input in the development of the livestock and poultry
industry. In turn, the industry provides a sure market for the said commodity.
The complementing roles of the industry and corn production constitute one of
the interdependent dynamics that characterize the sector.
The red-orange background depicts the vibrancy of the industry. As the

policymaking body for the sector, the LDC needs to formulate policies and
programs that provide an environment conducive to the accelerated and
dynamic growth of the industry. The DA logo completes the LDC logo and
establishes the organizational attachment of the Council to the Department.

National Agricultural and Fishery Council
The National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) logo, with its circular
form and the agency acronym across the center, symbolizes the dynamics and
partnerships through which the agency performs its role as the integrative and
consultative structure for inter-agency and inter-sectoral collaboration in
agricultural and fishery modernization. The NAFC facilitates these interactions.
The outer circle symbolizes the continued interaction of all stakeholders of
agriculture and fisheries, which come in the form of national and local level
consultations, implementation and/or coordination policies and programs,
generation of resources and other relevant activities geared towards agriculture
and fisheries development.
The inner circle represents the stakeholders. The upper portion refers to the
private sector and civil society groups, being the prime movers of agriculture
and fisheries development while the lower portion represents government
providing support and an enabling environment.
The DA logo serves as backdrop to show that NAFC is an attached agency of
the DA.
Legal Basis
• Executive Order No. 183 (May 6, 1969) created the National Food and Agricultural Council (NFAC)
under the Office of the President, replacing the Rice and Corn Production Coordinating Council
(RCPCC).*
• Executive Order No. 754 (December 16, 1981) expanded NFAC’s functions to include non-agricultural
concerns, consistent with a multi-disciplinary, inter-agency and systems approach to the development
of commodities covered by the food development programs.

(MAF) as the Ministry of Agriculture(MA), reorganized MA’s units and integrated under it all offices and
agencies whose functions relate to agriculture and fishery, and provided for the attachment of the
NFAC as the National Agricultural and Fisheries Council (NAFC), to the MA (now the Department of
Agriculture).
Mandate
The National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) acts as advisory body to the Department of Agriculture
to ensure the success of its programs and projects, and initiates the development of a private sector-led
nationwide network of Agricultural and Fisheries Councils (AFCs) and sectoral committees. It assists the
Department in the broad-based monitoring and coordination of Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act
(AFMA) processes and serves as the integrative and consultative structure for inter-agency and inter-
sectoral collaboration in agricultural and fishery modernization.

National Meat Inspection Service
The National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) logo shows the agency’s name
enclosing the silhouettes of livestock, cattle, and poultry heads to represent the
sources of food products/meat engaged in by the food sector industry over which
the agency exercises its regulatory authority. The ribbon underneath the main
circular design is a representation of the safety certification of meat produced
from food animals, safety being the agency’s primary concern. The DA logo in
the backdrop symbolizes the functional and organizational attachment of the
agency to the Department.

Philippine Carabao Center
The Philippine Carabao Center (PCC ) logo depicts the Philippine carabao
as a symbol of the constant forward-looking view of the agency on its
mandate: developing the genetic potentials of the carabao as a source of
milk and meat, aside from its draft power. The lines in the background
represent PCC’s 13 network centers that vigorously pursue the agency’s
Carabao Development Program. The shadow cast by the carabao, as it
stands under the heat of the sun, represents a shade of hope for small-
holder farmers and their families in the countryside.
Legal Basis

of draft animal power, meat, milk, and hide to benefit rural farmers. It is responsible for the promotion
of profitable and sustainable carabao-based enterprises designed to improve farmers’ income through
carabao-genetic improvement, technology development and disseminations, and ensuring better
nutrition of rural farming communities
