trees.

The City Government in coordination with the Department of Agriculture and other
support offices and government agencies including the civil society organizations, constantly
provides assistance to farmers by way of extension services, provision of farm
inputs/equipment & machineries and construction of support facilities. Trainings and
seminars were also conducted to enhance and improve farming practices of farmers.

Rice Production

Rice is the major staple food in the city and is utilizing a significant area of its
agricultural land. Based on the records of the City Agriculture Office, the total land area
planted with rice accounted to 2,621.89 hectares. Of which, 1,857. 79 are irrigated and 764.10
are rainfed.

The area planted with rice in irrigated areas was increasing in three years period while
the area harvested in 2016 decreased by 32% compared to 2015 and increased by 10% in 2017.

Area planted in rainfed areas was also increasing but area harvested fluctuate its
hectarage. It decreased by 67% in 2016 however increased by 48% in 2017.

Comparative Report on Rice Production;

CYs 2015-2017
Rice production in the city in 2017
reached 7,569.29, of which 5,962.29
metric tons are from irrigated areas and
1,607.00 metric tons from rainfed
riceland. Rice production trend has been
decreasing for the past 3 years.
Production in irrigated areas declined by
20% and 37% in the year 2016 and 2017
respectively. Production in rainfed areas,
declined in 2016 by 66% however
increased by 36% in 2017. Low production
was due to rat infestation from March to October 2017, damaged caused by stem borer,
black bug and flooding.

Average yield per hectare also decreased for both types of riceland. For the past
three (3) years, the average yield in irrigated areas was 16%-41% lower than the potential yield
per hectare. In similar way, average yield in rainfed areas was about 20%-33% lower than the
potential yield per hectare.

Corn Production

Being an alternative food for

rice, corn is consumed by about 10%
of the city’s population. The
industrial demand for this crop is also increasing as the livestock sector in the city continues
to prosper. In 2017, there are about 925.58 hectares of land harvested with corn. Much of
these lands are utilized for yellow corn production (1,117.5 hectares - 75%) and some lands for
white corn production (373.5 - 25%). The area planted with corn continuously increases from
2015-2017 while the area harvested increased by 42% in 2016 but decreased by 10% in 2017.
Corn production in the city is characterized by a fluctuating trend. It increased in 2016
but declined in 2017. 2016 production has the highest production. It was about 1,459.27
metric tons higher than 2015 and 183.75 metric tons higher than 2017.

Corn Production from 2015-2017 has an average yield ranging to 3.78-4.08 metric
tons/hectare which is only 18%-24% of the potential yield per hectare.

Production of Durian and lanzones is 50% and 51% lower compared to 2016 production,
respectively. The production of various fruits during the year recorded the lowest production
in three years period. Poor fruit productivity was caused by the effect of climate change
experienced over the 3-year period.

COOPERATIVES

Cooperatives play a significant role in the economic development of a locality as it

enables consolidation of fragmented resources, investment mechanisms and manpower. The
City Cooperative & Development Office (CCDO), in its mandate to formulate measures and
develop plans and strategies for the development of cooperatives, has continuously
provided assistance to organize new cooperatives, extended technical assistance to existing
ones and established linkages with government agencies and non-government organizations
aiming to improve livelihood and quality of life.

A total of 56 cooperatives were registered in Kidapawan as of 2017, about 49 of these

cooperatives are identified operating. Based on their assets, 33 of them were classified as
micro, 13 under small category, 4 as medium category and 5 under large category. Kidapawan
City Federation Cooperative (KICIFECO) was classified as federation.
