OFFICE OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR
MESSAGE
The Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur is extremely committed
to increase the productivity of the priority commodities through its
various strategies in maximizing the yields of the existing crop lands.
The current surplus production on the high-valued crops has proven
that the province’s pledge has contributed to strengthen the
economic development in the urban and rural communities. By way
of building a sustainable and resilient province and regional food
system, the province has been known as the “Food basket” of the
Caraga Region.
The compulsion to combat poverty incidence by 6% from 39.02% in 2018 to 33.02% in 2022 has
endured this administration to face a cumbersome challenge where we become one of the
top twenty poor provinces in the whole country in CY2018, based on the PSA survey result.
Given the multi-dimensional nature of poverty, the government has incessantly set-up a vital
priorities and interventions in leveraging the potential economic resources of 1 city and 13
municipalities by adopting the enhanced growth diamond strategy with its prolific strategic
spatial, physical and land use development framework. This is to balance the inclusive
linkages of land and water use in providing social and economic equality through food
production; marketing and consumption; transport and distribution of goods and services;
and environmental management concerns both in rural and urban areas.
I entail every Agusanon to continuously corroborate in the local governance processes and
activities to propagate the economic sustainable agenda of the administration. With the aid
of this Economic Situationer, our vision of a modern Agusan del Sur will draw us the strength
to guide internal efforts in providing a decent livelihood opportunities, jobs and incomes to
decrease the underemployment rate in the province.
Furthermost, this administration ensures the sustainable ecological agriculture to provide the
preeminent economic systems in confronting the climate change and globalization without
compromising the cultural heritage by way of resounding the provincial vision: “With the
guidance of the Divine Providence, a province with secure, caring, healthy, developed,
productive, and self-sustaining culturally-sensitive people and communities.”
Felicitations to all the officials and staff of the different PGAS offices for the wrestles, fortitudes
and commitments. Thumbs up to our partners from the City, Municipal and Barangay Local
Government Units for the unending support.
Padayon sa paglambo Agusan del Sur!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Based on the Community-Based Management System survey results in 2018, the

province has accumulated a settlement of around 723,134 individuals with 179,702
families and 171,065 households in an average size of 4 individuals in a family. After
51 years of the province’s existence since its creation in1967, the 896,550 hectares
territorial domain has been developed to a sustainable agriculture and rural
development settlements performing to an economic income per capita of about
Php23,400.00 to Php192,022.00 in an average poverty threshold of Php24,950.59 and
food threshold of Php17,423.00 per annum. Despite of the numerous PPAs
implemented, still the province has gained a poverty incidence of 39.02% or 66,746
poor households in CY2018.
The major economic activity of province utilizing the ecological resources circulates
within the Agriculture Farming, Agro-forestry farming and Mining Activity. Agriculture
has been the main livelihood occupation of the settlements in terms of income were
rice production has performed a surplus yield for over the years. The production surplus
yield has contributed to renounce the tag name of the province as the “Food Basket
of Caraga”. High valued crop commodities like corn and banana has also performed
a significant surplus percentage and has been distributed to the nearby provinces
and regions. Non-food farming on the other hand have remarkably performed in the
regional market where the province was also identified as one of the top producers
of rubber and palm oil.
Pork, chicken and beef meats are the primary consumed livestock in the localities. The
meat and fish supplies in the province comes from the nearby regions since livestock
raisers and fishpond owners of the province have not earned a record holding harvest
of their industry. Livestock and fish industry were facing a production challenges due
to the presence of animal husbandry viral disease like foot and mouth diseases, as per
statistical records. Fresh water fish like Haluan (mudfish) & Pantat (catfish) are most
likely marketable in a high-priced value if dried.
Timberland production has been the top source of income in most of the upland
barangays, forestry production is now into industrialization where veneer and lumber
yards processing plants are already operating with a substantial production and
income within the province. In 2019, logging revenues in Prosperidad has reached to
about 1.3B value of production which surpasses the consistent noteworthy income of
Loreto, Bayugan, Bunawan and Talacogon for two consecutive years.
Non-metallic mineral industry particularly on sand and gravel has recorded to a

performance rating of 52.28 percent over the 2.548M cubic meter permitted volume
to be extracted per year where Bayugan City has the most extracted quantity.
Provincial collection on the sand and gravel extraction based on SP Ordinance No.

87, Series of 2012 has a per cubic meter amounting to Php23.20 only, regardless of
how much will it cost in the commercial distribution.
Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Caraga reported that Gold production of the

province in 2018-2019 has declined to 646.70 kg from 719.11 kg in the last quarter of
2019. Being the sole province producer of gold in the Caraga Region, gold production
in 2019 has performed a 19.20 percent export value with a contribution rate of around
7.46 percent in the employment generation. Silver in the other hand has increased to
its production for about 15.25 percent with an export value of 65.88 percent
compared to gold.
Tourism development has attracted the volume of tourist arrivals both from foreign
countries and local communities that instituted to a significant number of
employments in the locality of San Francisco and Bayugan City. Hotel
accommodations and market linkages distribution on top value-added products of
the province has increased as well as new discoveries of potential tourist destinations
found in the nearby and far-side urban and rural barangays, through the joint effort
of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) and the
Provincial Tourism Office of Agusan del Sur.
Agusan del Sur as a land-lock province that can only be access through land transport
vehicles has a total provincial road network of about 80 percent or 801.94 km leading
to intensification of convergence development to promote the social and economic
equality amongst the urban and rural barangays. The fare matrix rates starts at a
minimum amount of Php1.85 per kilometer if fully charged and 1.48 if granted with the
student privilege and senior citizen. Bachelor Express and Davao Metro Shuttle
Corporation are the top public buses operators recently transporting the societies from
the highway municipalities to the river town’s civilization. Tourist vans operators are
amongst the public utility competitors in handling public utility transportation and
even special trip transport contracts from the province to any point of destination
throughout Northern Mindanao.
In 2019, peacekeepers personnel from the PNP has increased to 152 police officers
from 614 in 2018 to 766 and a total of 9AFP Brigade Commander IB. With the presence
of the peacekeepers, peace and order of the province for the past three consecutive
years has indices to around 0.26 percent crime rate ratio per total population of
723,134 individuals. Index and Non-Index crimes has significantly increased to about
47 percent in CY 2018 and remarkably lowered to around 57 percent in CY 2019
resulting to an average crime rate performance of 33 percent in a year from 2017 to
2019.
The economic recession of the province in 2017 to 2019 was caused by the demand-
pull inflation on agricultural inputs, diesel & oil; including the health & medical supplies
The Agusan del Sur Economic Situationer CY 2019 3 |iii 139

and food essential items consumed by fast-food establishments. The extreme priced
increase on agricultural inputs, consumer’s goods and healthcare services was the
effect of the uncontrolled Monetary Policy between 2018 and up to the 1st Quarter of
2019, this uncontrolled activity has a high influence on the slumped of the Purchasing
Power of Peso (PPP) from Php0.89 in 2017 to Php0.85 in 2018 and onwards.
The high unemployment rate in 2017 to 2018 was due to the switching of individual
livelihood source from a minimum wage earner to a farmer-financier exclusive farming
and business enterprises. Entrepreneurs were encouraged to do Agri-farm business
due to the marginal bank finances offered at a lower interest rate ranging from 7
percent to 12 percent per annum payable within 5 years.
Despite of the Fiscal Policy performance of the province with a total 4.2B government
spending in 2017 to 2019, still the province’s economic performance has dropped and
was transpired to the national poverty ranking of the province in the 13th place on
2015 and to its 10th place in 2018’s top poorest of the poor provinces in the country as
per Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) survey results.
To address the long fight against the accelerating poverty incidence in the province,
PGAS has developed a five sectoral development to concentrate on the specific
initiatives that will transmit the issues and core reasons of poverty. The five sectoral
development were categorized as the: Economic Development Sector, Social
Development Sector, Environmental Management Conservation Sector, Public Safety
and Security Sector and Transforming the Bureaucracy Sector. These five sectorial
developments have a common provincial development goals, objectives and
strategies associating and adopting the growth diamond land use strategy. Which
aims to reduce poverty incidence; secure, resilient and safe communities and have
an inclusive, transparent, participatory, citizen-centered and accountable
governance. The strategy has been conceptualized through a Convergence
Development Approach (CDA), the 1 city and 13 municipalities were clustered into
four with a selected Growth Centers identified to be; Bayugan City in CDA 1, San
Francisco in CDA 2, Trento in CDA 3 and Talacogon in CDA 4.
Upland Sustainable Agri-forestry (USAD) is a banner program of the province to

combat the accelerating poverty particularly in the upland barangay. The approach
had started in CY 2012 under the leadership of Governor Adolph Edward G. Plaza and
has been continually implemented in the present administration under the leadership
of Governor Santiago B. Cane, Jr. as stipulated in the 2020-2022 Executive and
Legislative Agenda. The explicit flagship banner program of USAD Converge Program
has a direction to maximize the utilization of the existing processing facilities and to
develop a marketing system that will strengthen the project engagement
mechanisms in institutionalizing the socio-economic development capacity of the
farmers both in the rural and urban upland barangays.
The Agusan del Sur Economic Situationer CY 2019 4 |iv139
Lowland Sustainable Agriculture Development (LOSAD) is an approach to support the
strategy that introduces the Agri-forestry to poor communities living in the lowland
areas with a crop production such as rice, corn, banana and vegetables. The
approach is used as a platform by the different sectors to augment the previous
interventions delivered to the farmer enrollees (FE). This initiative will maximize and
balance the inclusive linkages of the FE between their expected output production
and market distribution to increase the individual’s income sources coverage.
The priority programs and projects on the Economic Development Sector intends to
operationalize in six (6) strategies to achieve its two (2) objectives: increased
productivity of priority commodities by 10% in 3 years; and decreased
underemployment rate from 12.08% or 22,636 individuals in 2018 to 6% or 11,701
individuals in CY20221. The development programs cover the following:
1. Crops Development Programs
2. Upland Sustainable Agri-Forestry Development (USAD) Programs
3. Fishery Intensification for Sustainable Harvest (FISH) Program
4. Agri- Fishery Research and Development Program
5. Livestock Development Program
6. Animal Health Program
7. Makinarya Alang sa Kooperatiba, Irrigators ug Nagkadaiyang Asosasyon
(MAKINA) Program
8. Cooperative and Institutional Development Program
9. Enterprise Development Program

The economic development programs, projects performances and prospects of the

province were driven by its overarching goals, “To Reduce Poverty Incidence by 6%
from 39.02% to 33.02% on 2022”. This goal has been guided by a Provincial Direction
with a Vision; with the guidance of the Divine Providence, a province with secure,
caring, healthy, developed, productive, self-sustaining and culturally sensitive people
and communities. And this direction has been supported by a two-pronged mission,
first mission is to improve and sustain the quality of life every agusanons; and the
second mission is to have a strong, sustained and inclusive provincial economy.

1 PROVINCIAL HISTORY
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The province was created by virtue of the Republic Act No. 4979; portraying the
division of the PROVINCE OF AGUSAN to Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur. Along
with the proclamation of R.A. No. 4979 on June 17, 1967 which was enacted and
signed into law by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Prosperidad was declared as the
capital Municipality of the Province of Agusan del Sur.
Agusan literally means “where the water flows”, after that great river that split the land
from south to north in a 250 km rush to the Butuan Sea. Agusan’s pre-Hispanic cultural
history is traced back to the great influence of the Majapahit Empire through the
discovery of an eight - inch tall image of a woman in pure gold at Maasam, Esperanza
in the early 1920s and molten jars unearthed at Bahbah, Prosperidad in the early 1960s.
Agusan del Sur then is called the “Land of Golden Opportunities” because of its rich
history of the unearthed treasures in early 19th centuries.
Records of the Commission of National Integration show that five native tribes were
found in the province, namely: Manobo, Higaonon, Banwaon, Mamanwas and
Talaandig. Three of these tribes can be distinctly located: the Manobos living along
the national highways and river towns towards the boundary of Agusan del Sur and
Davao del Norte and Banwaons and Higaonons living in the western side of the
Agusan River, in the municipality of Esperanza towards the boundary of Bukidnon.

Agusan del Sur is now inhabited by ethnic groups coming from the different regions,
expedited by the lure of the “Land of Promise”. Mostly of these settlers comes from
the Visayas region with a Cebuano linguistic being widely spoken. Of the Native
tongue, Manobo dialect is the most popular than that of Hiligaynon, Butuanon,
Surigaonon and Kamayo.
The province is now classified as a first-class province with its source of income derived
from taxes and revenues, Internal Revenue Allotment, operating and miscellaneous
fees and other sources. The province has one city and thirteen municipalities with 321
barangays, inhabiting the 723,134 populaces (2018 CBMS) in the vast land covering a
total land area of 896,550 hectares.

GEOLOGIC FEATURES
Geologic features on Hazard and Disaster-Prone Areas refer to those areas prone to
natural hazards, specifically weather/climatic, hydraulic and geologic phenominal.
These includes: Weather and water related hazards such as tropical cyclone winds,
tropical cyclone rains, storm surge, flood, and drought. Climatic change and
variability related hazards are categorized as changes in precipitation patterns,
temperature increase, changes in EI Nino intensity and frequency deterioration of
water availability and quality, changes in tropical cyclone and monsoonal activity,
including incidence of pests and diseases. Earthquake induced hazards are
characterized by ground shaking, ground rupture and liquefaction lateral spreading
and landslides. These hydraulic and geologic natural hazards affect the sensitivity of
the soil in the municipality and are classified by the following sensitivity soil type: Very
high, high, moderate and very low and about 55.42 percent of the province’s total
land area or 4,968.85 square kilometer (sq. km) were at a very low soil type mostly
located in La Paz with 1,072.79 sq. km.

LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
Agusan del Sur is located in the Northeastern Mindanao, bounded in the North by
Agusan del Norte, on the South by Compostela Valley, on the west by Misamis
Oriental and Bukidnon, and on the East by Surigao del Sur. The province is in
landlocked and can only be reached by land transportation through the Davao-
Butuan National Highway. There are three major roads that provides access to
travelers coming from Tandag, Lianga, Barobo, and Bislig City of Surigao del Sur
and another road has joined the southwestern part of the province in Asuncion of
Compostela Valley province that links access to Davao provinces. All four roads
intersect at the National Highway at different points. No other transport accessibility
was developed other than the provincial roads although, Agusan River is a potential
route towards the province, no existing ferry facilities regularly navigates from
Butuan City or Compostela Valley Province.
Urban growth and settlement patterns in the province were basically a transport-
led development that concentrated around the primary national road Pan-
Philippine Highway (AH 26), particularly in Bayugan City, Prosperidad, San
Francisco and Trento. This pattern of growth has been the historic development of
settlements in the province. Infrastructure developed has led the conversion of
Bayugan from a 1st class municipality into a component city and the economic
expansion of San Francisco into a commercial and financial hub of the province.
Other emerging population growth areas in the eastern side of the province and
Agusan Marsh are the towns of Rosario, Bunawan and Trento, all-in crossed through
the Pan-Philippine highway. The rapid growth in these areas can be traced through
the economic dynamism and infrastructure development, particularly with the
promotion of the Pan-Philippine Highway to the Asean Highway 26 (AH26), paving
the way to an increased activies in commercial, industrial, mining and agricultural
producion.
There are distinct transfers of goods and people occuring outside the province
towards primary urban centers such as Butuan City and Cagayan de Oro City in the
North, Bislig City in East, and Tagum City extending to Davao City in the South,
especially for trading of goods and access to social services such as health and
education. By land travel time coming in and out in the province is expected to reach
approximately to 2 hours towards Butuan, and 3-4 hours to Davao City.

PART I. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
PART 1.1 LIVELIHOOD PERFORMANCE
The Gross Domestic Product2 income of Agusan del Sur based on CBMS CY2018,
Agriculture has the highest proportion in terms of livelihood income with a 22 percent
overall percentage performance. It was followed by Education with 11 percent and
Community service activities like private and government employees were at the 3rd
highest livelihood income and at 9 percent were Construction, Professional, Scientific
and Technical Activities; Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles and
Motorcycles has an approximate 6 percent rate. As shown in Figure 16, there are 24
livelihood/income by industry that domestically supplementing the economic activity
of the province.
There are three major ecological resources that supports the livelihood economic
activity of province, circulating within are the Agriculture Farming, Agro-forestry
farming and Mining Activity. Agriculture being the top source of revenue have
manifested a significant contribution to the economic performance of the province
as the “food basket” of the Caraga Region.

1.2 AGRICULTURE
Agusan del Sur has a total land area of 216,043 hectares mapped for A&D, the 48
percent or 124,590 hectares were identified as Agricultural Land planted with a variety
of high valued crops and agricultural commodities. Figure 17 demonstrates that Rice
production covered the highest area with 23 percent or 49,454 hectares from the total
agricultural land and becomes the prime agricultural livelihood occupation of the
province. Esperanza has the vast rice field with 6,717 hectares followed by Veruela
having the 5,719 hectares; Bayugan and Propsperidad were razing on its total
hectares cultivated with 4,949 and 4,948 hectares consecutively.
Palm Oil farming have developed the second agricultural occupation engagement
with an estimated planted area of 20,275 hectares, 2,077 hectare still remains
unconverted coconut farm lands . Corn planting have flattened by 1 percent and has
been surpassed by rubber plantation with 8 percent higher. Banana farming have
robust in the 5th place with 5 percent, while the rest of the agricultural commodities
have barely covers a miniature percentage in terms of land field and production from
the whole agricultural farming source of revenue.

1.2.1 RICE FARMING

Rice production of the province for the past 10 years Figure 18 were performing a vital
accomplishment in providing a sufficient supply of rice to the 116 per capita local
consumption requirements. The consistent 50 percent surplus production of rice in two
cropping have contributed to the supply chain in the regional market and proved the
“food basket” tag description of the Agusan del Sur.
Despite of the surplus production in rice, the harvest performance of the province did
not achieve the estimated Return of Investment (ROI) as per cost and analysis per

hectare. In 2019, the expected harvest for two cropping were estimated to reach up
to 486 MT and calculated to have a shelling recovery of around 65.89 percent per kilo.
However, Figure 18 shows that for three consecutive year’s rice production have
barely performed to an average of 301.46 MT per annum indicating to a harvest gap
of about 62 percent.
The palay production per hectare by ecosystem Figure 19 has an expected harvest
of 6,000 kilogram if hybrid and 4,000 if inbred in one cropping. However, the regular
production for the past 10 years have only realized an average yield of 3.6 percent
Figure 20 per PAO records, reaping to a harvest variance of almost half of the
expected produce per cropping. Despite of this issue, the province still remains to
maintain a record holding production area of 71,833 hectares in two 2x cropping per
year with a total production of 214,124 metric tons per cropping making a per hectare
average palay production of 2.98 MT (PSA data).
In 2019, the province has an aggregated physical area of 49,454 hectares broken
down into: irrigated field of 19,411 hectares, rain fed field of 28,830 hectares and 1,213
hectares upland field; with a rice production refined commodity balance surplus of
56 percent or 111,298 MT per annum from 2009 to 2019.

1.2.2 PALM OIL AND COCONUT FARMING
Coconut hills in the province has

been replaced by Palm Oil
production for the past three years
as Figure 21 shows. In 2019, palm oil
area has reached to 19,467.13
hectares with an average yield of
242,600 MT for three consecutive
years. San Francisco having the
highest Palm planted with an area
of 6,091.85 hectares have
achieved its ascending production
of 77,714 MT in 2017 to 80,793 MT;
assessing to about an average of

the other hand have performed a
fluctuating number of non-bearing
coconuts particularly in Bayugan
City Figure
22. For the last three years around10 percent dropped of coconut statistics have
observed each year due to the declining number of farmers engaging in coconut
growing.
Palm Oil farming have developed the second agricultural occupation engagement
with an estimated planted area of 20,275 hectares, overriding the coconut farming
that falls to around 2,077 hectares, and contributing to about 97% or 156,878 MT in the
whole Caraga Region

Palm oil price in 2019 have played to its lowest price of Php37.00 in the month of
December from Php41.00 in the first seven months. Compared to regular oil, palm oil
has dropped its price to 44 percent that gains its annual average price of Php39.33
on the market exchange.

1.2.3 RUBBER PRODUCTION
Rubber farming for the past 10 years as has established a flowing operation in 2019 with a
production that significantly increased its planted area from 6.8 hectares to 16.9 hectares
and has a harvested capacity of 4.6 to 9.6 hectares producing to a 14.8 MT of cup lump in
2009 and 16.1 MT in 2019. From 2009 to 2019 rubber cup lump has increased its production
by 2.8 percent each year reaching to an average production of 59.3 percent in 2019 from
31.1 percent in 2009, making agusan del sur to become the top producer of rubber in the
Caraga Region with 93% total production or 15,619 MT.

In Figure 25, Bayugan City has the widest maintained area with 2,812 hectares of
rubber plantation and only 44 percent of this area are in due for tapping with a cup
lump extract volume of 2,688 MT in 2019. Sta. Josefa has a remarkable cup lump
tapping of about 517.53 MT out of 109.23 hectares yearning to an average production
of 474 percent.

For three consecutive years, Talacogon had performed a notable cup lump tapping
of 25.14 percent average production per year in a 1,996 hectares plantation.
Prosperidad had made it to the second top producer of cup lump with an annual
average production of 20.84 percent, leading with 1 percent on Esperanza and 5
percent on Bayugan City.
Rubber production cost and return analysis in the province illustrates that on the 5 th
year of gestation the rubber plant starts its return of investment, about 10 months of
each year is the expected topping production. In a hectare around 485 hills are
estimated to be planted and with a probable mortality of 3 percent. The average
production is expected to a cup lump volume of 4 MT per month, and around 3.82
percent is the expected ROI if method of topping will be 40/60 between tapper and
owner and a 6.36 percent if owner will shoulder the tapping expenses.

1.2.4 CORN PRODUCTION
Corn farming in the province have generated a significant percentage surplus out of
the 21.83 kgs per capita requirement in a year. For the last 10 consecutive years Figure
26 shows the accelerating corn production yield of the province with an average corn
grits production excess of 50,816 MT per year and has been consumed to supply the
demand of the neighboring provinces like Misamis Oriental, Davao Oriental and
Cotabato City.
From 2009 to 2019 corn production in the province as per Figure 27 illustration has been
remarkably producing an average yield in yellow corn grains of 4 MT per hectare,
performing to about 65 percent of the average grains produced or 106,331 MT in two
cropping per year. Yellow corn farmer is estimated to earn an average income of
around Php4, 577.00 in 1 hectare per month in one cropping while white corn farmer
earns around Php3, 511.00 of the same cropping.
Esperanza has been the top producer of white and yellow corn harvest in the province
with its 18.1 percentage total corn physical area as shown in Figure 29.

1.2.5 HIGH VALUED CROPS
While other high valued crops in the province have merely contributed a 1.5 percent
of the aggregated agricultural production, banana have been performing a
fluctuating average surplus harvest of 32 percent from the 13.95 kilograms per capita
consumption. Figure 30 illustrates the banana production in three years with Latundan
as the highest commodity cultivated in Veruela and has been yielding an average
volume of 5.87 MT per hectare.

Cacao farming in the province has been consistently yielding an average production
of 58 percent per hectare in a year with its existing harvest area of 399 hectares out
of the 2,512 totaled hectares planted with cacao pod. In 2019 dried cacao beans
production has totaled to 299MT and Prosperidad with a high production of 82 MT
average or about 1.32 MT per hectare makes the municipality becomes the top
producer of cacao seeds.
Cacao farmer is expected to encounter a deficit income on the first three years of
farming and about to earn an ascending proceeds of Php14,263.21 up to Php105,
875.54 per hectare in a month on its 4th to 6th years of gestation.
Abaca and coffee farming in the other hand have a declining production in 2019,
Prosperidad being the top producer of abaca Figure 30 has dropped its production
average from13.92 percent in 2017 to 1 percent per hectare in 2018. Rosario has
increased its production from 0.43 in 2018 to 2.4 percent in 2019 with a miniature
contribution second to San Luis with 3.3 percent out of the total provincial production
average of 1.03 percent or 1,191.52 metric tons.
Esperanza has maintained its average coffee harvest of 3.78 MT per hectare for the
past three years while the total coffee production of the province has dropped to
604.76 MT from 613.80 MT in 2018. Despite of the harvest decrease on coffee due to
the new grove patching; ROI has estimated to reach for about 11.45 percent per
hectare in a month starting on the 4th year after the new breed has in placed.

Vegetables on the other hand as in Figure 35 has performed a marginal deficit

production of about 14,708 MT per year for the past 10 years. In 2018, the highest
shortage volume of 29,664 MT has been observed while in 2011 around 13,344 MT has
recorded a debut production surplus within 10 years. In spite of the shortage supply in
vegetables, the province has still able to supply the traders from the neighboring
provinces particularly in Surigao and Agusan del Norte amongst of which fruit
vegetables has the highest volume of production supplied per week.
Other agricultural farming production like fruits, root crops, cutflower and spices were
unlikely producing less to be considered as farming activity but then again production
harvest of these agricultural gardening activities has been transported to other
neighboring provinces to supply the demand catered by middlemen consolidators
and traders.

Livestock production in the province were still on the stage of establishing a record
holding foundation to claim the meat per capita sufficiency requirement of 8.30
kilograms in a year and to cope up with commodity balance sheet statistic. Despite
of the high production in Swine Figure 36 in San Francisco with its 25 percent heads
raising average, meat production competence for the past 10 years does not justify
the supply sufficiency of meat either locally produced or sourced out from the nearby
provinces of which inventory records on animal production in the province has been
in jeopardy.

The absence of the production agricultural sub-zone for poultry, piggery and animal
pasture in the municipal CLUP hinders the development of the livestock industry for
over the years. The recent situation of livestock operation in the province are at the
least and most likely still categorized as backyard animal raising.

1.2.7 POULTRY
For the past three years Native chicken raising in the province has been the primary
poultry production Figure 37 around 33.33 percent has been the average
performance every year. Rosario has been the top producer of native chicken with a
24 percent average performance out of the total poultry production but the
estimated volume of meat produced per poultry are still inadequate to support the
per capita requirement of 6.08 kilograms per year.

1.2.8 FISHERY
The freshwater fish production in the province on the 1st and 2nd Quarter of 2019 have
harvested a total fish production of 25.78 MT with San Francisco having the most
volume of production with 7.65 MT in two quarters. In a quarter the per capita of
freshwater consumption is estimated to average for about 10.4 kg and roughly
calculated to reach a total volume of 7,520 MT if the entire population will consume
a 1/8 kg of freshwater fish per day. The per capita consumption of freshwater fish is
expected to compete up to the level of all fish varieties utilization if the province will
indulged in a value-added production through a medium-term food processing
scheme on street foods and other manufactured foods whose market expansion is so
potential to the millennial generation.

Fish industry in the province has an estimated potential production area of 3,163.93
hectares over the river tributaries of the Agusan situated along the streams of
Adgaoan watershed up to the rivers of Talacogon, San Luis, La Paz and Loreto.
While the low consumption on freshwater fish has been an issue for over the years,
Tilapia fingerlings and distribution for 10 years has performed to an average of about
1.1M fingerlings per year as Figure 38 illustrates. The eight fish hatchery institution of
the province as Table 55 listed, has recorded the total fingerlings production average
of 1.67MT per year and a constant increase of an estimated average of 112,063
fingerlings from 2012 to 2019.
Freshwater fish market fair price in the province has practically varies on the
production cost and of the C/MLGU deregulated market value. Income from
freshwater industry is estimated to gain an ROI of 14 percent for the first two harvest
season and probably stretch up to 989 percent in the following year if fish culture will
be operated according to procedure and average total pond production expenses
in a year.

1.3 FORESTRY
Timberland of the province has a total land use area of 680,507 hectares were forest
industry is one of the top sources of livelihood in most of the upland barangays. In 2018,
PENRO-ADS has issued a tenurial instruments to the 53 tree farmers to cultivate the
74.28 percent tree production expanse from the 447,516 hectares of timberland
production zone. Bayugan City has been the top producer of logs with a fluctuating
average production of 86.35 cubic meter out of the total provincial average
production of 333.33 cubic meters for the past two years.

Veneer and lumber manufacturing in the province has added to the livelihood
income of the upland inhabitants and tree production financiers with the estimated
average growth revenue of 67 percent a year. Bayugan City, Talacogon and Loreto
are the municipalities with the most wood manufacturing plant with the estimated
provincial average revue of 335 Million a year, higher enough compared with the
other provincial livelihood institution. The production period of the tree plantation per
commodity usually takes to about five to six year before harvest.
For over the year’s wood industry in the province has been the bread and butter of
the indigenous people, considering that logging is an inherited livelihood of the
inhabitants since the ancient occupants back in the early days of the province.
1.4 MINING
Sand and gravel extraction in cubic meter shown in Figure 44 have recorded to 52.28
percent performance over the 2.548M cubic meter permitted volume to be
extracted per year. Bayugan City having the most permitted volume of 565,500
cubic meter to be extracted in a year has a performance gap deficit of around 87
percent for three consecutive years. Compared to Loreto a 150 percent deficit gap
over the 130,000 cubic meter permitted volume to be extracted has been observed.
Mineral extraction income of the province has a flow rated baseline of Php23.20 per
cubic meter which income estimation have reaches to 20.3M a year. Permittee

It is the land of the proud and brave Agusanons with a multi-ethnic and cultural
diversity. It is hidden in the vastness of 896,550 hectares of endless green carpets
and rolling forest cover with fresh mountain air that crosses through the landscape
of the middle valley with a heavenly view of a winding Agusan River.
The Province lies along the Maharlika Highway that links the three major island
groups of the country. It has a flat and rolling topography suitable for agriculture,
forestry and mining industry. The prime commodity agriculture has made the
province become known in the Caraga Region for its surplus yield. Logs and
forestry products have been the prime source of income in the upland and
timberland area barangays. Agusan is the sole producer of gold and silver in the
Caraga Region which mineral location is extracted at the municipality of Rosario.
The Agusan River, which is the longest river that crisscross the province where cuts
into two: the North-South direction fertilizes the land all year round and the southern
part bands with swamps and lakes forming identified as one of the largest wetlands
in the Southern Asia- the Agusan Marsh. The sanctuary has also been known of its
largest crocodiles captured and the famous dried mudfish and catfish.

2.1 MACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCE
The economic condition of the province in 2017 to 2019 has been in a recession
caused by the demand-pull inflation on agricultural inputs, diesel & oil; including
the health & medical supplies and food essential items consumed by fast-food
establishments, as shown in Figure 52.

2.1.1 PURCHASING POWER OF PESO VIS-À-VIS CONSUMERS PRICE INDEX
In 2018, cost of living has been so high due to the presence of illegal investment
institution, creating a huge circulation of money in the province that resulted to a
high inflation and a downturn of the Purchasing Power of Peso (PPP) from Php0.89
in 2017 to Php0.85 in 2018 and onwards up to the last quarter of 2019 Figure 53.
Prices of selected prime commodities in 2019, Table 67 shows that there was an
average price increase of around Php30.83 in 2018 and has accelerated more in
2019 with the Php34.81 average increased price on the selected commodities.
Energy rate on the other gauge has an amount per kilowatt hour (kwh) of Php11.00
to Php12.00 depending on the kind of energy power consumed classified as
residential, commercial, street lights, public buildings and high voltage connection

The weakening of the PPP has been the result on the performance hike of the
Consumer’s Price Index (CPI) with 4.9 percentage increased difference between
2017 and 2018, and subsequently escalating up to 8.2 percent in 2018 and
eventually declining in the last quarter of 2019 sharpening to a 118 consumer’s
index as per Figure 53. The extreme priced increase on agricultural inputs,
consumer’s goods and healthcare services has been the effect of uncontrolled
Monetary Policy between 2018 and up to the 1st Quarter of 2019 which highly
affects the economic performance of the province with more money circulating
to purchase goods and service at high cost over time to a depleted statistics of
employed individuals.

2.1.2 MONETARY POLICY OVER INFLATION
The high unemployment rate in 2017-2018 was due to the switching of individual
livelihood source from a minimum wage earner to a farmer-financier exclusive
farming and business enterprises. Individuals was encouraged to engaged in
farming and establish new business industry with the extensive weight of money
from the black market. High returns of investment that ranges from 20 percent per
month to 50 percent per week has sufficiently supported the high cost of farm
production financing and enterprises’ losses, and to sustain the high cost of daily
living average per capita of around Php69.31.004. This manifestation has
weakened the operations and demands of bank loans with more cash deposits
coming in, obliging the Central Bank to declare a lower interest rates on the
primary financial loans up to 7 percent from the regular 24 percent interest rates
per annum.

PART 3. PGAS BANNER PROGRAM FOR POVERTY REDUCTION
PGAS has five sectoral development namely: Economic Development Sector,

Social Development Sector, Environmental Management Conservation Sector,
Public Safety and Security Sector and Transforming the Bureaucracy Sector. Every
sectoral development has its own goals, objectives and strategies associating and
adopting the growth diamond and spatial strategy.
3.1 GROWTH DIAMOND AS SPATIAL AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The province has adopted the Growth Diamond and spatial development strategy
for advancement through convergence development approach (CDA) in poverty
reduction. The 1 city and 13 municipalities where clustered into four CDAs with a
selected Growth Centers, identified to be Bayugan City in CDA 1, San Francisco in
CDA 2, Trento in CDA 3 and Talacogon in CDA 4.
The enhanced strategy was designed to address the gap challenges and optimize
opportunities both in the rural and urban areas. These gaps mostly tackle on how
to dispatch the dominated economic development opportunity mostly found in
the center of the spatial growth. The CDA network overlapping has boosted the
economic activity of the clustered spatial to uphold the missing link development
between the rural and urban areas of the CDAs to avoid economic development
monopoly.
3.1.1 LGU FUNCTION TO CONVERGENCE DEVELOPMENT AREAS (CDA)

CDA I comprise the City of Bayugan as the growth center, Sibagat and Esperanza
which convergence development identified as the Agri-Processing Center of rice,
corn, coffee, abaca, coconut, vegetables and cutflowers. CDA 1 has a value-
adding processing production on tablea, fruit wine, banana chips and abaca
weaving.
CDA II, San Francisco is the growth center of the cluster with Prosperidad, Rosario

Trento as the growth center along with Sta. Josefa, Veruela and Loreto. Organic

rice and duck rice are amongst the legendary production in Trento, while Sta.
Josefa is the corn capital of the province.
CDA IV is identified as the Wood Processing Center cluster where Talacogon is

identified as the growth center with La Paz and San Luis as the expansion area. The
cluster is much known of its commercialized tree production and processing
production of wood and rattan. Along with its expansion products are banana,
fruits and vegetable farming.

3.2 UPLAND SUSTAINABLE AGRI-FORESTRY (USAD)
Upland Sustainable Agri-forestry (USAD) is a banner program of the province to

combat the accelerating poverty particularly in the upland barangay. The
approach had started in CY 2012 under the leadership of Governor Adolph Edward
G. Plaza and has been continually implemented in the present administration
under the leadership of Governor Santiago B. Cane, Jr.
The 2020-2022 ELA, explicit the banner program direction of USAD to maximize
utilization of the existing processing facilities to develop a marketing system that will
