5. STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF
PHILIPPINE AGRICULTURE
Pre-colonial period
Colonial period
Post-war period
PRE-COLONIAL PERIOD
 Indo-Malayan migrants brought with them wet-
rice agriculture and carabao was also used as
source of animal power for cultivation.
 This predominated near bodies of water like
rivers and lakes
 Slash-and-burn kaingin culture or non-plow
farming predominated in other areas
 Main rice consisted of rice, gabi, yam, bananas,
corn, millet, coconut, citrus, ginger, clove,
cinnamon, and nutmeg
 The pattern of agriculture was chiefly
subsistence. Farms were small, chiefly backyard
COLONIAL PERIOD
 This period introduces a non-producing class for
which Filipinos produced surpluses, leading to an
increase in agricultural production
 Plant introductions include: mulberry, cocoa, wheat,
cucumber, cantaloupe, watermelon, coffee, new
varieties of cereals, peas and other vegetables
 The development of haciendas allowed for the
introduction of technological innovations in
production and processing e.g. steam or hycraulic-
powered sugar mills
 March 6, 1909 – the College of Agriculture was
founded in Los Baños as a unit of the University of
the Philippines
POST-WAR PERIOD
 Characterized by:
 Introduction of technological improvements
 Campaign for use of modern farm inputs and
farm mechanization in 50’s
 Building up of market for tractors and power
tillers in the 60’s
 Establishment of the International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI)
 Introduction of the high yielding rice varieties
 Further development and expansion of
international and agricultural trading especially
for coconut and by-products: tobacco, sugar,
pineapple, etc.
PROBLEMS IN PHILIPPINE
AGRICULTURE
Although the wide agro-climatic
conditions the production of crops all year
round, there are certain constraints to
production which may be categorized as:
 Physical
 Biological
 Socio-economic
 Government support
PHYSICAL
Climate :
 typhoons, drought
Soil :

Loss of topsoil due to


erosion particularly in
slopy areas
BIOLOGICAL
Insect pests
Weeds
Disease pathogens
Physiological disorders such as nutrient
deficiencies and nutrient toxicities like
heavy metals found in mine tailing
Genetic make-up of different crops:

 Some crops chosen for commercial


production may not be the best for that
particular location
SOCIO-ECONOMIC
Family profile
Low family income
Community profile

inadequate support
services for optimum
production
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
Inadequate incentives for
efficient and effective
agricultural production.
For instance, inadequate
farm to market roads and
absence of postharvest and
irrigation facilities
