PILLAR 1. CONSOLIDATION

© Strategy 1.1: Bayahinan Agri Clusters (BACs) "Block Farm Program"

Now on its 5th year of implementation, the Block Farm Program continues to pursue the goal of converting consolidated farms
owned by agrarian reform beneficiaries and small sugarcane farmers into agribusiness centers through professionalized farm
management and mechanized farming with provisions for logistical, financial, technical and production support services. As of
December 31, 2021, the sum of P6,475,126.97 start-up capital was provided to 213 block farms for the establishment of HYV
nurseries in Visayas, and the procurement of agricultural inputs in Luzon/Mindanao.

• Biological Agents - The mass production of Trichogramma as a biological control agent, against sugarcane stem borers, of
the LGAREC have a significant impact to the sugarcane planters as well as to rice, corn, and vegetable farmers in Negros
and other parts of Visayas due to its proven efficacy, affordability and safety in comparison to toxic chemical agents which
is harmful to both health and environment. A total of 40,449 pieces of T. strips were produced of which 31,247 pieces were

© Strategy 2.2 Farm Mechanization & Infrastructure Investments - "SIDA Infrastructure Program"

The Infrastructure Program of the Sugar Industry Development Act of 2015 (SIDA) aims to contribute to the agricultural
development by providing the key sugarcane-producing areas or sugarcane mill districts with all-weather roads that will
connect the sugarcane farms to the sugar mills, bioethanol distilleries and other processing facilities.

@ Strategy 2.4: Food Safety and Regulations -"SRA Food Safety Regulatory System"

The development of the Food Safety Regulatory System of SRA is targeted on the last quarter of 2021. On March 24, 2021, the
Food Safety Regulation Coordinating Board (FSRCB) had its meeting and one of the agreements reached was the creation of
the Committee for the Delineation and Linkage of Food Safety Mandates. Delineation on regulatory function on sugar will be
included in this committee's task and the crafting of food safety regulatory framework may proceed once functions have been
defined.
The approval of Revisions of the FSRCB Manual of Procedures and its resolutions has put into effect the creation of new
committees. To date, the Committee on Delineation and Linkage of Food Safety Mandates had its initial meeting last November
12, 2021 and was chaired by the Department of Agriculture. Meetings with agencies with concerns on mandates will be
conducted on a one on one basis. As of December 31, 2021, no succeeding meeting have been scheduled.
The monitoring of raw and refined sugar quality and safety conformance to the Philippine National Standards (PNS) as
produced is a continuous activity of the Laboratory. From January 1 to December 31, 2021 the amount of raw and refined
sugar analyzed by the Sugar Laboratory in Quezon City and Bacolod City numbered 839 and 224 respective. Total test
certificates issued for raw and refined sugar is 1,299.
