    Uploaded by

    AnuarMustapha
    This project aims to establish abaca production in Cabasagan, Pantaoragat Lanao Del Norte through the Marawi Response Project. It will provide livelihood opportunities to 40 members of 2 community support groups by procuring materials and training for abaca farming. The assistance is needed as global demand for abaca fiber is increasing but local production is insufficient. The project will establish a nursery, fiber stripping centers, provide farming equipment and training to enhance skills in abaca production, processing and business. The community support groups will contribute land, labor and transportation as counterpart for this initiative to promote sustainable abaca farming and increased incomes in the area.

    Project Summary
    United State Agency International Development (USAID) in partnership with Plan international
    and local partners Ecosystem Works for Essential Benefits, Inc. and MARADECA, Inc.
    implemented project called Marawi Response Project to support the remaining Internally
    Displaced Person within their current hosting to community in two (2) different ways
    1. Uplift the economic condition of IDPs
    2. To strengthen social cohesion among IDPs and Host community members
    Through this, the project will be realize by if MRP will procure and deliver the materials needed
    in establishing abaca production as well as provide the necessary training to enhance their
    skills in abaca Farming. A total of 2 CSG members will benefit this livelihood (Masakaw 20
    members and Kasarigan 20 A total of 18 IDPs and 22 HCM.
    This project initially aims to provide livelihood opportunities to all CSG members. Thus, the
    livelihood seeks to achieve the following:
     To promote sustainable farming system and provide livelihood projects to farm families
    in the Barangay.
     To create rural community awareness in organic farming practices introducing its
    benefit and help, rehabilitate, conserve and protect the natural resources for
    sustainable agriculture.
     To achieve farm production sustainability and provide healthy agricultural food products
    to the community through proper organic agriculture practices.
     To promote economically sound and sustainable abaca production in the
    community.
     To generate employment and provide additional income to rural farm family
    through community-based project.
     Decrease poverty incidence by 40-50% (if implemented successfully and is
    sustained rightly) by 2023

    All CSG’s will engage into production with separate identified areas
    Why is the assistance needed?
    Since the day abaca entered into the world market, Philippines was the main, if not the only, supplying
    country. Even when its demand was at the lowest in the 1970’s and farmers were cutting their abaca
    and converted their farms, the Philippines remains to be a top producing country.

    In the late 80’s the demand for abaca started to increase as its usage in the specialty paper industry
    increased. As the impact of climate change started to be felt in the early 1990’s, the search for
    alternatives to synthetic fiber increased and abaca, with its superior quality, was among those
    identified. Experiments using abaca fiber as polymers and re-enforcements to plastics expanded. In
    2004, DaimlerChrysler, one of the largest automobile manufacturing company in the world announced
    that it planned to use abaca fibers as reinforcing materials instead of fiber glass for car parts. From then
    on, more usage of abaca fiber was discovered driving the demand to continuously increase.

    In 2012, the world demand for abaca fiber reached 77.9 thousand metric tons (MT) and 83 percent or
    64.66 MT was coming from the Philippines. The increasing demand for abaca fiber is expected to
    continue as the fiber is now used in an increasing number of products including specialty papers for
    food packaging like tea bags and meat casings, filter papers, textiles and hygienic disposables. Abaca
    fiber is increasingly used in polymers and re-enforcements in various plastic-based parts of the cars.
    The increasing use of natural fiber to replace synthetic fiber as a strategy to reduce green-house gas
    emissions by European countries is also expected to propel the worldwide demand for abaca fiber. This
    trend is validated by the report Philippine Abaca Fiber Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019
    published by the Research and Markets, a global market research think-tank based in Dublin, Ireland.
    The Report projected that world demand for abaca fiber will increase at 5.7 percent annually from 2013
    to 2019. The Philippines supplied 85 percent of the world’s demand of abaca fiber in 2013.

    The above trend is now being witnessed in the Philippines. Newtech Pulp Incorporated (NPI), the
    biggest pulping company in the Philippines that consumes an average of 60 tons of abaca fiber daily,
    has already experience shortage of the fiber. Based on their data for 2014, barely half of the 22,000 MT
    need was produced from the Philippines. The rest was imported from Ecuador and Costa Rica, the
    second and third abaca fiber exporting countries.

    The increasing demand of abaca fiber at the local market in western and northern Mindanao and the
    increasing demand at the international market is a great opportunity to the farmers. Both the elevation
    and the volcanic origin of the slopes and upland areas of the two regions are favorable to growing
    abaca. It is the peace and order situation in most upland areas that discouraged farmers to cultivate
    long-term crops like abaca. However, with the sustained improvement of the peace and order situation
    and the building of access roads to rural areas, abaca farming is increasingly viable. Being proximate to
    a huge pulping company could make transportation cost less and thereby allowing higher farm-gate
    price.
