The 6-month project proposal aims to develop a Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Plan for the country. It will identify 11 zones for different agricultural activities and prepare databases on existing crop and fisheries production. Key activities include gathering data, training on spatial mapping software, workshops to identify objectives and strategies, and formulating a 6-year investment plan. The methodology will use spatial planning and GIS applications. The proposal seeks to guide sustainable land use and development in the agriculture and fisheries sectors.

Title: Preparation of Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Plan
with corresponding Zones and Subzones. Amount: Duration: 6 months
Introduction The goals of the national economy are a more equitable distribution of opportunities, income and wealth; a sustainable increase in the amount of goods and services produced by the nation for the benefit of the people: and an expanding productivity as the key to raising the quality of life for all, especially the underprivileged. The State shall promote industrialization and full employment based on sound agricultural development and agrarian reform, through industries that make full and efficient use of human and natural resources, and which are competitive in both domestic and foreign markets. In pursuit of these goals, all sectors of the economy and all regions of the country shall be given optimum opportunity to develop. Private enterprises, including corporation, cooperatives, and similar collective organizations, shall be encouraged to broaden the base of their ownership. Thus it is hereby declared the policy of the State to enable those who belong to the agriculture and fisheries sectors to participate and share in the fruits of development and growth in a manner that utilizes the nation's resources in the most efficient and sustainable way possible by establishing a more equitable access to assets, income, basic and support services and infrastructure. The State shall promote food security, including sufficiency in our staple food namely rice and white corn. The production of rice and white corn shall be optimized to meet our local consumption and shall be given adequate support by the State. The State shall adopt the market approach in assisting the agriculture and fisheries sectors while recognizing the contribution of said sectors to food security, environmental protection, and balanced urban and rural development, without neglecting the welfare of the consumers, especially the lower income groups. The State shall promote market-oriented policies in agricultural production to encourage farmers to shift to more profitable crops. The State shall empower the agriculture and fisheries sectors to develop and sustain themselves. Toward this end, the State shall ensure the development of the agriculture and fisheries sectors in accordance with the following principles:
Poverty Alleviation and Social Equity - The State shall ensure that the poorer sectors of society have equitable access to resources, income opportunities, basic and support services and infrastructure especially in areas where productivity is low as a means of improving their quality of life compared with other sectors of society.
Food Security - The State assure the availability adequacy, accessibility and affordability of food supplies to all times; Rational Use of Resources - The State shall adopt a rational approach in the allocation of public investment in agriculture and fisheries in order to assure efficiency and effectiveness in the use of scarce resources and thus obtain optimal returns on its investment;
Global Competitiveness - The State shall enhance the competitiveness of the agriculture and fisheries sectors in both domestic and foreign market;
Sustainable Development - The State shall promote development that is complete with the preservation of the ecosystem in areas where agriculture and fisheries are carried. The State should exert care and judicious use of the country's natural resources in order to attain long- term sustainability;
People Empowerment - The State shall promote people empowerment by enabling all citizens through direct participation or through their duly elected chosen or designated representatives the opportunity and
Protection from Unfair Competition - The State shall protect small farmers and fisher folk from unfair competition such as monopolistic and oligopolistic practices by promoting a policy environment that provides them priority access to credit and strengthened cooperative-based marketing system.
Objective: To have database on the existing agri-crops and fisheries production area and production in metric tons Ensure that the SAFDZs and the infrastructure development and investment are adequately appreciated, protected and sustained. Provide guidance in ensuring that prime agricultural lands are efficiently and sustainably utilized, develop and protected from unreasonable land use conversion; To prepare zones for Agriculture and Fisheries Development
