Farmers, particularly those involved in the production

of rice, corn, and coconut, will be encouraged and

supported to diversify into other commodities such as
vegetables and other high-value seasonal crops to
boost their incomes.
Diversification refers to the addition
of new crops or cropping systems to
agricultural production on a particular
farm taking into account the different
returns from value-added crops with
complementary marketing
opportunities.
Crops diversification
Crop – livestock Integration
Crops – livestock integration
• Rice + duck
• Vegetable + native chicken
• Fruit crops + native chicken
• Fruit crops + small ruminants (goat and sheep)
• Coconut + livestock (PCA)
• Palayamanan
Rice + Duck Integration
• ROI : 40-45%
• Increase in yield (rice) : 20-30%
• Stocking rate : 1000hd/ha
• Existing sites in the region: Babatngon, BES

**reduction in fertilizer requirement of the area

Vegetable + range chicken (egg prodn)
• ROI : 20%
• Increase in yield: 10-15%
• Stocking rate : 100-200 hd/ha
• Increase in production : 20%
• Existing sites in the region: BP2P sites (Cluster 2)
Vegetable+ range chicken (meat prodn)
• ROI : 20%
• Increase in yield : 10-15%
• Stocking rate : 100-200 hd/ha
• Increase in production : 20%
• Existing sites in the region: BP2P sites (Clusters 2&3)
Fruit crops + small ruminants (goat/sheep;
meat)
• ROI : 20-30%
• Increase in yield (Fruit crops) : 10-20%
• Increase in production (goat/sheep): in 3 years, 3x
stock;
• Stocking rate : 30 hd/hectare; in 3 years = 120 hd
• Existing sites in the region: Villaba, Tabango, Palompon
Fruit crops + small ruminants (goat/sheep;
dairy)
• ROI : 20-30%
• Increase in yield (Fruit crops) : 20-30%
• Stocking rate : 30 hd/hectare
• Existing sites in the region: Ormoc City, Catarman,
Leyte-Leyte, Kananga,
