Promotion of rice and rice-based technologies in Regions IX, XII and Autonomous Region in Islamic Mindanao (ARMM). JICA Technical Cooperation Project (TCP5): “Rice-Basing Farming Technology Extension Project for Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao,” (ARMM) (March 2012-2017). In 2014, PhilRice Midsayap Development Unit implemented studies and projects that contributed to the development of site-specific technologies for rice and rice-based farming systems; and improving farmers'.
The establishment of a diversified and an integrated rice-based farming system is expected to ensure food availability and increase productivity which will eventually return to an increased income of the farmers and thus stabilize the economy of the farm families. This project generally aimed to showcase the Palayamanan plus for intensified cost-effective rice-based farming systems in Central Mindanao, specifically to (1) use rice straw and stubble for roe and mushroom commercial production ( V. volvacea and P. ostreatus); Puran (2011) emphasized that the role of extension service provider is to disseminate the research results (technology transfer) to the farmers on all crop commodities not only in rice and to provide infrastructural support for improvement of the agricultural sector.
Accelerate technology adoption through the promotion of rice and rice-based technologies in Regions IX, XII and the Autonomous Region in Islamic Mindanao (ARMM). SE Abdula, OH Abdulkadil, VV Casimero, STC Quiring and RS Salazar A number of cost-reducing rice and rice-based products and technologies have been developed to help increase farmers' productivity and profitability. This study aimed to accelerate the adoption of rice technology through the promotion of rice and rice-based products and technologies in Regions IX, XII and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). 1) create awareness among stakeholders about rice and rice-based technologies that are adaptable to the community; (2) empower students/youth to be agents of information and technology transfer in their communities; (3) assess the level of technology adoption among farmers.
Rice and rice-based technologies participated and exhibited during the 53rd Foundation Anniversary of Libungan.
Learning Center
Feeding activity conducted for the 800 elementary school students of the barangay Agriculture, Salunayan (July and Simeon Panganiban (July 28, 2014) elementary schools, Midsayap, Cotabato respectively. Thus, this project was conducted to establish and maintain relay rice plantations to support the important growth stages of the rice plant intended for training and re-evaluation of the agronomic and yield performance of varieties used at different planting dates; refine the best practices identified under Palayabangan 10-5 Challenge yield excellence to develop and package a new craft of high yield Delivering Rice Technologies or a suite of excellent yield and implementation courses on Enhanced PalayCheck and Palayamanan Plus for PhilRice staff using the Learning Center as learning areas (Miranda, 2014 program proposal). Served as a practice ground for 25 participants in the Rice S&T Updates and Appreciation Course for Local Executives and 19 participants in Rice S&T Updates and Training Course on Mushroom and Vermi Compost Production for AEWs (PPALMA) and 72 participants in the 5-day specialized training of agricultural extension workers (AEWs) on rice-based farming systems and facilitation skills (JICA TCP5).
In 2014 WS, 5 groups participated including the 2 private companies that participated in the competition. For the participants' educational attainment, 1 reached elementary school, 16 reached high school, 10 completed high school, 3 were able to read up to college, 7 were able to complete college, and 3 were able to complete vocational training.

JICA Technical Cooperation Project (TCP5) : “Rice-Based Farming Technology Extension Project for the Autonomous
Therefore, the TCP5 was formulated to build on the success of the previous project to further enhance the government's capacity in providing agricultural extension services and improving farmer technologies, thus contributing to improving livelihoods and building of peace. Therefore, this project aimed to improve the living standards of farmers in the target areas, specifically to strengthen the site-specific extension system and improve production/post-production support technical services for target farmers by developing site-specific rice-based agricultural technologies. . In terms of vegetable technology adoption, the number of practices adopted by more than 70% of FFS Year 1 farmer participants increased from 2 in 2011 to 7 (out of 10 vegetable practices introduced) in 2013.
The adoption of technologies by farmer-to-farmer (FTF) - FFS farmers showed that 88% of FTF-FFS farmers in Maguindanao and 100% of FTF-FFS farmers in Lanao del Sur adopted vegetable technology. On the other hand, 44% of FTF-FFS farmers in Maguindanao and 80% of FTF-FFS farmers in Lanao del Sur used rice technology. Data showed that the FTF farmer adoption target (at least 1 technology used by over 40% of farmers) had been reached in Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur.
For capacity building of Agricultural Extension Workers (AEW) of DAF ARMM, 105 AEWs have been trained on rice-based farming system for one year. Preparation and processing for the year held at the Palayamanan Model Farm to enhance women's knowledge and skills in food production, food processing and entrepreneurship to help them increase their family income). A total of 243 farmers trained (73=Maguindana0; 60=Lanao del Sur; 40=Basilan; 30=Sulu and 40=Tawi-Tawi) on Rice-based Farming System (RBFS) through farmer-to-farmer extension approach.
FFS classes (24 locations) were facilitated by identified and trained FTF farmer cooperators at critical crop stages and as needed. Overall, the objectives of the project are in line with the GOP/ARMM plan for the agricultural sector and Japan's aid policy for the Philippines, especially for Mindanao. The project addresses the need to improve rice-based farming technology in the ARMM by training farmers and upgrading AEW expertise.
National Irrigation Sector Rehabilitation & Improvement Project Agricultural Support Component
Basic farm machinery to be supplied to each of the 45 IAs are seed cleaner, thresher, bag sealer, scale, hand tractor with trailer and moisture meter. Thus, this project is being implemented in Davao del Sur in Mal River Irrigation System, MalRIS with 5 Irrigators Association as project beneficiaries and Sultan Kudarat in Lambayong River Irrigation System, LamRIS with 12 Irrigators Associations to: (1) provide Rice S and T updates to each of the 11 NIS; (2) complete one (1) season – long training of FFS per IA for two (2) growing seasons using the PalayCheck system focusing on water management and use and maintenance of agricultural machinery; (3) develop at least 10 Farmer Technicians (FT) per IA, who will lead FFS in the following seasons; (4) establish three (3) participating demonstration farms (PDF) per I A; (5) produce quality seeds from the PDF cum seed production area; to deliver one (1) batch of agricultural machinery per I A;. 6) train the members of the IA in the use and maintenance of the basic agricultural tools and machinery (7) raise awareness and improve the access of agricultural workers (AEWs) and farmers to rice information and decision support tools with the use of tri -media; and (8) accelerate the adaptation and integration of new technologies in the irrigation systems. A total of 516 farmers were trained through the season-long FFS in both LamRIS and MalRIS both in DS&WS 2014.
For the season-long training of farmers through FFS in the Lambayong Irrigation System, 341 farmers were trained. For capacity building, a 5-day reinforcement training in facilitation skills and management of selected IA farmer members (FFS participants). The participating demonstration farms (PDFs) showed yield increases in each PDF using the PalayCheck System platform in both the 2014 dry and wet seasons (Tables 1, 2 and 3).
The dry season and wet season 2014 performing varieties based on the participating demonstration farm were NSIC Rc238, NSIC Rc160, NSIC Rc224, NSIC Rc226, NSIC Rc222 and PSB Rc18. These varieties are commonly used by the farmers in the area which can already be adopted. 2014 Wet Season (WS) performance of PDFs in LamRIS, Lambayong and Tacuring City, Sultan Kudarat 2011.
