VI. RATIONALE:

Rice farming is a crucial source of income in the Municipality of Pili. It is a staple food for about
80 percent of Piliños and a significant item in consumers' consumption baskets. Rice is the most crucial
agricultural crop, and thus the government aims to implement food sufficiency programs to provide
solutions to alleviate the high expenses incurred by rice farmers, especially during the pandemic.

In support of agricultural subsidies, the Local Government Unit of Pili has prioritized rice farmers
by providing a program that addresses the rising prices of fertilizer in a holistic manner. The government
believes that achieving high rice productivity requires an integrated crop management system, and the
quickest intervention that can provide fast results is the use of appropriate fertilizers. The provision of
fertilizer subsidies may constitute an essential economic tool to ensure food security for our growing
population in the municipality. Therefore, we must subsidize and provide solutions to farmers to lessen
their burden through this program.

VII. GOAL OBJECTIVES:

GOAL:

To achieve the sustainability of proper growth and higher production in rice farming, one of the
major factors is following the correct application of fertilizers in terms of the right elements, appropriate
amounts, and timely manner. This is a practical and fundamental requirement in rice cultivation.

OBJECTIVES:

1.To provide a fertilizer subsidy to rice farmers in order to support their agricultural operations.
2.To assist farmers in reducing their total production costs related to rice farming.
3.To aid farmers in enhancing crop growth for higher yields and better grain quality.
4.To attain food sufficiency and mitigate the effects of Covid-19 and Omicron variants, as well as the
growing population in the municipality.

VIII. IMPLEMENTATION AND METHODS

PERIOD COVERED : July, Augus and September 2023

RATIONALE :

Rice farming is the primary source of income for around 3,900 farmer households in our
municipality, which underscores its importance in ensuring food security and driving economic growth.
Despite the government's significant efforts to improve rice production, meeting the growing demand for
rice remains a challenge. One promising solution is the use of hybrid rice technology, which has been
proven to enhance crop yields and improve the livelihoods of farmers. However, many farmers lack the
necessary knowledge and skills to adopt this technology effectively. To address this, we propose a
training program on hybrid rice production for farmers in our municipality. This program will equip them
with the latest techniques and technologies, such as digital farming, which can further improve their
productivity and efficiency. By promoting the adoption of hybrid rice technology, we aim to increase rice
productivity, enhance the competitiveness of our local rice industry, and ultimately achieve rice self-
sufficiency. We acknowledge the efforts of both public and private sectors in intensifying the
dissemination of information on hybrid rice technology and the continuous promotion of its benefits to
reach out to more farmers.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To understand the latest advances in hybrid rice technology.

2. To equip farmers with the latest skills and technologies on hybrid rice seed production.
3. To increase awareness and adoption of hybrid rice technology in the municipality.

METHODOLOGY

The Local Government Unit of Pili thru GAD and Municipal Agriculturist Office will be
conducting a training program on Hybrid Rice Production. The program will be conducted in three
batches, with each batch having 30 participants, which is a manageable number for effective training. The
program covers a range of essential topics that will equip farmers with the necessary skills and knowledge
to adopt hybrid rice technology effectively. The training will be conducted by a team of experts in hybrid
rice production, which ensures that the participants receive high-quality instruction. The venue chosen for
the training, the Pili Sports Complex, is accessible to all participants, which is essential for ensuring
maximum participation. Additionally, the one-day training session per batch allows participants to attend
the training without affecting their daily farming activities significantly.

VI. RATIONALE:

Hybrid rice production is a promising agricultural technology that can help increase crop yield
and improve the livelihoods of farmers. However, many farmers lack the necessary knowledge
and skills to adopt this technology effectively. To address this, the Municipal Agriculture Office
(MAgO) proposes a training program on hybrid rice production for small-scale farmers in the
municipality of Pili, Camarines Sur.

The adoption of hybrid rice technology is crucial for increasing rice productivity, improving the
quality of rice crops, and achieving food self-sufficiency. Both the public and private sectors
have been promoting the benefits of hybrid rice technology, and this training program aims to
contribute to this effort.

Rice is a staple food in the Philippines, and it plays a critical role in ensuring food security for
the country's population. However, rice production faces many challenges, including limited land
resources, unpredictable weather patterns, pest and disease outbreaks, and low productivity.
Hybrid rice technology is seen as a viable solution to these challenges, as it has the potential to
increase rice yields and improve the quality of rice crops.

Despite the benefits of hybrid rice technology, many small-scale farmers in Pili, Camarines Sur,
lack the necessary knowledge and skills to adopt this technology effectively. This lack of
knowledge and skills often results in low yields and poor quality of rice crops, leading to reduced
profitability and income for farmers. The proposed training program aims to address this issue by
providing farmers with the necessary knowledge and skills to adopt hybrid rice production
technology effectively.

By adopting hybrid rice production techniques, farmers will be able to increase their yields and
improve the quality of their rice crops. This will lead to increased profitability and income for
farmers, ultimately contributing to the improvement of their livelihoods. Additionally, the
adoption of hybrid rice technology will contribute to the attainment of food sufficiency in the
area and support the country's goal of achieving rice self-sufficiency.

Overall, the proposed training program on hybrid rice production is an important initiative that
can help address the challenges faced by small-scale farmers in Pili, Camarines Sur. By
equipping farmers with the necessary knowledge and skills to adopt hybrid rice production
technology effectively, the program can contribute to increased productivity, improved quality of
rice crops, and improved livelihoods for small-scale farmers in the area.
