I. DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

The Province of Quezon is the second largest province in Southern Tagalog (CALABARZON &
MIMAMORA) in terms of its size, second only to Palawan. Quezon represents the largest province in the
CALABRZON region (53.63%), and ranked as sixth (6th) largest in the Philippines. Quezon stretches as a
tapered belt alongside the eastern shore of Luzon from Dasada Point, General Nakar in the North, down
to Camarines in the south. The northern part of the Province is sandwiched between the Sierra Madre
mountain range and the Philippine Sea. The southern part on the other hand, consists of the Tayabas
Isthmus which separates the Bicol Peninsula from the main part of Luzon Island, and the Bondoc
Peninsula which lies between Tayabas Bay and Ragay Gulf.The province is divided into three
physiographic sub – provinces based on the Philippine Physiographic Provinces made by the Philippine
Bureau of Mines in 1982. The total land area of Quezon as per DENR data is 870,660 hectares or
8,706.60 square kilometers. It has thirty nine (39) municipalities one component city, Tayabas, and one
(1) highly urbanized city, Lucena, which is also its capital. It has a total of 1,242 barangays which are
administratively divided into four (4) congressional districts.

The province has a population of 1,882,900 (2007 Census of Population – National Statistics Office,
Quezon). The density is estimated at 216 persons per square kilometer. Of the 40 municipalities, Sariaya
with about 128,248 population is considered to have the largest population (based on the 20007
statistics) contributing 7.8 percent to the total population of the province. Candelaria (6.4% share), Tiaong
(5.3% share), and Tayabas (5.3% share) rank second, third and fourth, respectively. The municipality of
Jomalig had the least share at 0.4 % of the total provincial population. Lucena City, the capital city has
236,390 population.

Poverty incidence although is decreasing through time still persists in the province. Poverty incidence in
Quezon or the proportion of families with per capita income below the poverty threshold decreased from
36.5% in 1997 to 34.1% in 2000, a difference of 2.4%. As a proportion to the population, poverty
incidence was placed at 40.7 percent in 2000, an improvement by 0.7 percentage point as compared to
41.4 percent in 1997.Quezon remains to have the highest number of poor families/population compared
with the other provinces in CALABARZON both for 1997 and 2000.

The Provincial Government of Quezon focuses on agricultural modernization and mechanization. This is
an effective and efficient strategy towards deracinating poverty. Since its economy is still predominantly
agricultural, policies and programs that improve the sector are expected to facilitate inclusive and

sustainable economic development. This focus on modernizing the province's agricultural sector becomes
particularly relevant when thought in the context of the 'Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN)
Economic Integration' which started in January 2015. Although the integration may be beneficial for the
industrial and service sectors of the country in particular, this economic amalgamation entails more
competitive terms of trade which could be very well detrimental to the agricultural industry. Only through
agricultural mechanization will both Quezon's and Philippines' agricultural sector be able to complete in
the global economic arena.

Based from the records of the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP), the Province has the
existence of indigenous people (IPs), they are called the Dumagat/Remontado, Badjao and Aetas. The
big chunk of Dumagat population is visibly located in the municipality of General Nakar, particularly in the
far flung and remote settlements/barangays. Other municipalities inhabited by Dumagats are Burdeos,
Polillo, Panukulan, Real and Mauban. These indigenous people (Table 6) have already filed before the
NCIP their respective ancestral domain claims for delineation process and subsequent issuance of
Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) by this Commission. The Aetasinhabit the municipalities of
Alabat, Tayabas, Lopez and Catanauan, while some Badjaos can be found in the City of Lucena. Major
source of income for indigenous people (IPs) are lowland/upland farming, fishing, rattan cutting, charcoal
making, gold panning, peddling herbal medicines and construction in the form of hired labor.

Agriculture Sector

Crops

Quezon is the most important province in the CALABARZON Region in terms of its contribution to major
agricultural products such corn, rice & alternative staple foods, coconut as well as the fisheries sector.
Quezon feeds both people and the livestock sectors of CALABARZON, supplying 42% of combined rice
and corn requirement of the region equivalent to over 200 thousand metric tons on an annual basis
(Laguna 28%, Batangas 14%, Cavite 10% and Rizal 6% sourced from www.bas.gov.ph). Thus, it can be
said that the stability of rice production in Quezon has a very large impact on the whole region and to the
attainment of ‘national food security’ by extension.

Moreover, the province is also the major producer of ‘alternative staple foods’ among the five provinces in
the region, another reason for its importance in improving food security. On the average (5-year
production data covering 2010-2014 sourced from www.bas.gov.ph) Quezon supplies a staggering 83%
(67,680 MT) of alternative staple foods in the region per year versus the merely 17% combined
production of the remaining four provinces.

On the other hand, the corn industry of Quezon is interlinked primarily with the livestock and poultry
sectors in the region; an industry worth 60.68 Billion Pesos. Therefore, the ups and downs of corn
production in Quezon reverberate throughout the CALABARZON which is the second most important
supplier of livestock and poultry products in the Philippines, next to Central Luzon.

Livestock

Predominant livestock in the Bondoc peninsula are cattle, carabao and swine due to the suitability of the
land for grazing animals. Carabao is the most used draft animal in land preparation, as well as for hauling
farm products and material inputs of farmers, although power tillers are available in the market. Horses
are also utilized for hauling purposes. Cattle, however, are raised primarily for meat production. Swine,
goats, chicken, ducks and geese are raised both for home consumption and as additional sources of
income.

Marine and Aqua-culture

Quezon also puts the dish as a complement to cooked rice, on the table for the majority of families in
CALABARZON. Quezon as the top producer, supplies 33% or an equivalent of 132,239 Metric Tons of
fishes in the region, followed by Rizal which supplies 27%, Batangas 23%, Laguna 12% and Cavite with

5%. The length of the coastline of Quezon province is 1,066.36 kilometers. It has 41 municipalities/city,
34 of which are coastline/lakeshore areas translating to 414 coastal/lakeshore. Major fish ports is situated
in the municipalities of Atimonan, Infanta, Lucena City and Guinyangan. Marine resources include
Calauag Bay, Lamon Bay, Polillo Strait, Ragay Gulf and Tayabas Bay. Ticub Lake in Tiaong, Quezon is a
major fresh water resource. Fishing is an all-year round activity except in Polillo where the fishing season
is from February to October. Among the commercial species found in the area are the round sand,
anchovies, tuna, lacto rids and groupers.

The province is registered to have the highest fishpond production in the region. Bangus and prawn are
the most common cultured species. Other freshwater species include white goby, freshwater shrimps,
catfish, tilapia, mudfish and banak. Fishponds are located mostly in municipalities along the coastal areas
such as Lopez, Padre Burgos, Gumaca, Unisan, Calauag, Infanta, Catanauan, Pitogo, General Luna,
Real and Macalelon.

Most of the aquaculture production activities in the region are more or less equally distributed in the
provinces of Rizal (40%), Quezon (31%) and Batangas (24%). Aquaculture structures such as fish pens,
fish cages and fishponds can be found in relatively abundant quantities in major water bodies in the
province such as Calauag Bay and the coastal waters of Infanta and Real.

The most dominant mangrove vegetation in the province isthe rhizophora(Bacauan),avicenia(Api-api),and


sonyeratia(Pagatpat) species. Such are found in Tayabas Bay with 72–80 thru mangroves and associate
species representing 23 families. Ragay Gulf with 29 mangrove species belongs to 16 families and
Calauag Bay with 10 families. From a total area of 14,940 hectares, in 1969, mangrove areas
considerably decreased to 922 hectares in 1991 (decreased by 6%). Enhalusacoroides is the most
common species of sea grasses in the province. But in terms of density of seagrasses, halodule and
rotundata are the most abundant during the month of August.

Quezon has one of the richest coral reef grounds in the Tayabas Bay, Mogpog Pass, Lamon Bay Area
and nearby islands. There are thirty-three (33) coral genera and sixty (60) reef fish species belonging to
18 families in Pagbilao Bay, indicating a relatively high habitat and species diversity.

A major mangrove cover is reportedly concentrated in District IV (Lopez, Calauag, Tagkawayan and in
the northern tip of Alabat Island) and District III (Mulanay, San Andres and San Narciso). Likewise, the
biggest contiguous mangrove forest in the province can be found in the municipality of Pagbilao in District
I, wherein the Mangrove Experimental Forest (114 has.) is located. There are three fishing regions in
Quezon, namely, at the Northeast (District I), Southeast (District IV) and South Central (District II and III).

Most of these fishing sites are bays, rivers and covered beach heads. There are about 188 registered
commercial fishing vessels and a total of 14,751 motorized and non – motorized fishing boats in Quezon
Province (Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan, 2010).

Issues and Challenges

However, the province is facing several issues and challenges in pursuing its full agricultural
development. Figure 3 shows the current and urgent challenges confronting the province's agricultural
sector.

Figure 1. Issues and Challenges Faced by Quezon Agricultural Sector

Despite efforts to modernize the province's agricultural sector, it can still be generally characterized as
traditional. This traditional characteristic translates to poor agricultural practices by the farmers as well as
non-technology adoption. This traditional nature is directly related to other problems in the sector such as
being labour intensive, inefficient, and unproductive as well as being susceptible to climatic disturbances.

Moreover, although farmers across commodities have been organized into farmers associations, they
need to be transformed into cooperatives if they are to be sustainable. These characteristics make the
agricultural sector not fit to compete against members of the ASEAN Economic Integration.

Climate change presents an even graver threat to the province's economy. Climatic-related disturbances
have been established to have the greatest impact on the volume of production even before the onset of
global warming (a known manifestation of climate change). Now that climate change and its
manifestations are upon us all, there is a need to 'restructure' the agricultural sector into a 'climate-
resilient' one. This strategy which will also be covered through agricultural mechanization is expected to
mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. The Provincial Government's commitment towards
preserving and rehabilitating the environmental facilities of Quezon through policies and programs are
also expected to have a positive impact on these mitigating efforts.

II DEVELOPMENT VISION AND FRAMEWORK OF THE PROVINCE

OVERALL MISSION AND VISION OF THE PROVINCE

VISION
Quezon Province 2020 as the new food capital of CALABARZON and Metro Manila with a healthy,
empowered, enthusiastic and globally competitive populace contributing and benefitting from a fully
developed agri-industrial economy with a well-balanced ecology, more resilient community and safer
environment under a resolute leadership.

MISSION
Quezon Province shall maximize its full potential as the new food capital of CALABARZON and Metro
Manila through optimized utilization of resources, provision of infrastructures, support facilities, capacity
building and harmonization of policies and programs. It shall strive to provide better health services,
accessible, relevant and quality education; promote a socio-cultural revolution; strengthen advocacy for
environmental protection and management; and institutionalize disaster risk reduction and climate change
adaptation measures at the community level through the convergence of all stakeholders.

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

The Provincial Government aspires to achieve economic development that is inclusive and sustainable!
This two-faceted development goal encapsulates within it economic affluence for its people as well as the

welfare of its future descendants. Inclusive is about economic growth that trickles down to the general
populace; a development that is perceived and is actually experienced by the ordinary people.
'Sustainable' is achieving upliftment without sacrificing the welfare of the future generation. This is
achieved through proper natural resource management practices.

The sustainable agricultural development program of the Quezon Provincial Agriculturist Office builds on
a solid understanding of the current challenges faced by the province. As shown in the uppermost portion
of the above figure, the persistent and pervasive agricultural poverty in Quezon can be depicted as a
cycle. Low farm investments particularly the use of quality seeds, adequate application of fertilizer as well
as virtual absence of post-harvest facilities result to low farm income. Reduced income means reduced

farm investments which will further lower farm income. Thus, the situation can be also thought of as
spiraling-down.

The intervention framework breaks the ‘vicious cycle of agricultural poverty’ through the ‘four intervention
pillars’ which focus on both ends of the problem namely: 1) Low Farm investment and; 2) Low Farm
Income. Three (3) of these four (4) pillars focus on increasing agricultural investment end such as: a)
Productivity Enhancement; b) Cross-Cutting Strategies and; c) Climate-Agriculture programs. On the
other hand, the Private-Public Partnership Program focuses on increasing the farm income.

Through these four intervention pillars, farm investments are expected to increase which will lead to
increased farm income. Moreover, inventions on farm income are expected to increase farm investments
which again, will lead to increase in income. Thus, the four pillars will reverse the cycle from ‘spiraling-
down’ into a ‘spiraling-up’ movement which is the sustainable agricultural development.

III. COMMODITY/IES PROFILE

Commodity 1: VIRGIN COCONUT OIL

The coconut palm (CocosNucifera L.) commonly grows in tropical countries particularly in the Asia-Pacific
Region. It is widely known as the 'tree of life' because of its numerous products and by-products which
have significant economic value. Coconut serves as one of the major sources of income and livelihood for
the Filipino farmers. Next to Indonesia, Philippines isthesecond largest coconut producer in the world with
an average of 15,353,200 MT annual production (FAOStat, 2013). The country is alsotheglobal top
exporter of traditional coconut products- copra and desiccated coconut (FAOStat, 2011). Although, it is
worth noting that the export of copra last 2011 signified a drop of 38.57% equivalent to 518,982 MT as
well as the export of desiccated coconut which decreased by 0.28%.

Based on the data of the Philippine Coconut Authority and the Philippine Statistics Authority, the
Philippines is the top exporter of virgin coconut oil in the world – a non-traditional coconut product. Virgin
coconut oil is considered as a fast growing industry today due to its high demand in the world market
specifically in the American and European countries. Aside from these traditional foreign markets, last
year has also seen an upsurge in the demand from Asian countries such as Japan and Korea.

The Philippine National Standard defined Virgin Coconut Oil or VCO as "the oil obtained from fresh
coconut, mature kernel of coconut by mechanical or natural means,with or without the use of heat,

without undergoing chemical refining, bleaching or deodorizing, and which does not lead to the alteration
of the nature of the oil". Virgin coconut oil is is suitable for consumption without the need for further
processing.

GLOBAL PRODUCTION

Philippines is one of the major coconut producing countries in the world in terms of coconut production.
With over 96 countries worldwide, 62.7 million tons of coconut was accounted as global data production
based on Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO, 2013).

Indonesia remains to be the top producer of coconut in the world (2009-2013) with a total share of
30.00% or an average of 18,440 metric tons. While Philippines consistently plays 2nd among the top five
coconut producing countries from 2009 to 2013 with a total share of 24.60% equivalent to 15,533.60
metric tons (FAOStat, 2014). It should be noted that the countries in the Asia-Pacific remainto be one of
the top producers of coconut in the world despite the slight decrease in their volume of production.

The rise of non-traditional coconut products recompenses for the declining market of traditional coconut
product exports. One of the emerging non-traditional coconut product as of today is the virgin coconut oil.
Based on the 2013 data of Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) Canada is the top importer of virgin
coconut oil in the country followed by USA and Germany, respectively. Virgin coconut oil is a fast growing
industry today abroad like Netherlands, USA, and other European countries including China. With this
fact, it is good to note also that these recorded productions and bearing trees occupy only 440,640
hectares or about 26% of the whole CALABARZON containing a total land area of 1,664,403 hectares
(sourced from Wikipedia).

DOMESTIC PRODUCTION
Of the recorded Philippines production in 2013, total nut production reaches to 15,353,199.94 metric tons
as shown in table below. CALABARZON’s contribution is 1,434,803.72 placing them as the 5 th highest
producers in the country with average bearing trees of 46,583,763.00 equivalent to 440,640 hectares of
land area. Given this data CALABARZON can be treated as significant input supplier classified as
coconut regions in the country. These data especially the total nut production in metric ton expressed that
the raw material sourcing or the whole nut supplies in the Philippines is the basis for situating specific
non-traditional coconut products as chosen enterprise.

Quezon being known as the largest coconut producer in the region and one of the top coconut producers
in the country also homes the major producers of virgin coconut oil. Most of the producers buys raw vco
from their partner farmers. A contract – supply agreement is present among farmers and producers.
Instead of buying whole nuts from the farmers at an average price of ₱ 10.00 – 12.00, they buy raw vco
from their partner farmers at ₱ 150.00 – 170.00/ liter.

The data shown above lists all the beneficiaries of The Kaanib Enterprise Development Project in
Quezon. Kaanib Enterprise Development Project (KEDP) of Philippine Coconut Authority aims to promote
and institutionalize coconut-based enterprise in organized farm cluster to increase farm productivity and
income of small coconut farmers.

Expanded-Vulnerability and Suitability Assessment (E-VSA)

Figure 3 shows the E-VSA map for Quezon Province's coconut industry. According to the assessment,
the top ten (10) municipalities in descending order include: 1) San Narciso, 2) Catanauan, 3) Polillo, 4)
Mulanay, 5) Buenavista, 6) Panukulan, 7) Mauban, 8) Lopez, 9) San Andres, and; 10) Calauag.

The figure also shows the factors considered in the analysis such as: 1) cocal area, 2) number of
cooperatives, 3) number of coconut farmers, 4) poverty incidence and, 5) volume of coconut production.
Cocal area and the volume of coconut production in each municipality are two of the most important
factors considered in the assessment. Ergo, these factors were given the highest weight of 30% each.
The inclusion of 'volume of production' is very much easy to comprehend as this factor determines the
availability of raw materials for 'virgin coconut oil' production. Meanwhile, the corresponding 'cocal areas'
of each municipality was also incorporated since this factor determines the 'long-term availability' of raw
materials, in other words, it measures sustainability to some extent.

The number of coconut-based cooperatives in the area was also considered since this factor measures
the business viability of the project. The argument is that more coconut-based cooperatives present, the
higher the chance of project's success. Lastly, the number of coconut farmers and the rate of poverty
incidence in the municipalities are important determinant of the project's impact to the community. In the
first place, the very main reason why this intervention has been conceptualized is to extirpate poverty.
These three factors were given weights of 10% each. The remaining 10% out of the total 100% was
devoted to vulnerability and suitability assessment.

Commodity 2:DAIRY CATTLE

With a thriving economy and a growing population of roughly 100 million in 2013, the Philippines is a
large and rapid expanding market for milk and milk products. However, the country is only producing less
than one percent of its growing dairy requirement making the country a major global importer of dairy
products, especially milk powder. Given the Philippines’ large population and rural backdrop suitable for

3Value Chain Study of Dairy Milk Industry in CALABARZON, 2014
dairy farm and milk production, the livestock particularly the dairy cattle industry has a huge potential to
flourish to sustain the socio-economic needs of the growing population.

In 2013, the total milk production of the Philippines is 19.46 million liters that includes cattle, carabao and
goats. Meanwhile, 2013 NDA-PSMD data showed that the cow’s milk reached a total of 14.42 million
liters mostly coming from Luzon, the biggest contributor in the country with a share of 54% or equivalent
to about 7.8 million liters. This is followed by Mindanao with 28% share or 4 million liters and lastly by
Visayas with 18% share or 2.6 million liters. A further look into NDA data would show that the
CALABARZON is the highest contributor of milk producing as much as 4.8 million liters.

CALABARZON presents a dynamic and strategic setting where the dairy industry sector may flourish
progressively. The major processors of dairy milk are predominantly situated in the CALABARZON areas
specifically in Batangas and Laguna and one of the model cooperative for dairy farmer is situated in
Quezon. The dairy products – mostly fresh milk – that they produce directly benefit the numerous coffee
shops in Metro Manila and nearby localities. With the region’s close proximity and access to Metro
Manila, transport costs are reduced making fresh milk available on selected supermarkets and other retail
outlets.

GLOBAL PRODUCTION

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), world milk production has increased by more
than 50% in the last three decades. From 482 million tons in 1982, milk production reached about 754
million tons in 2012. India is the world’s largest milk producer supplying 16% of the global production,
followed by the United States of America, China, Pakistan and Brazil.

It was in South Asia where the expansion in milk production took place in early 1970s. It was then
considered the main driver of milk production growth in the developing world. In most developing
countries, milk is produced by smallholders, and milk production contributes to household livelihoods,
food security and nutrition. Milk provides relatively quick returns and is an important source of livelihood,
especially for small-scale producers.(http://www.fao.org/agriculture/dairy-gateway/milk-production/en/)

Some countries in the developing world have a long tradition of milk production, and milk or its products
have an important role in the diet. Other countries have established significant dairy production only
recently. Most of the former countries are located in the Mediterranean and Near East, the Indian

subcontinent, the savannah regions of West Africa, the highlands of East Africa and parts of South and
Central America. Countries without a long tradition of dairy production are in Southeast Asia (including
China and Indonesia) and tropical regions with high ambient temperatures and/or humidity. Among the
countries which have experienced the highest milk deficits are Italy, the Russian Federation, Mexico, and
Algeria. On the other hand, the countries with the highest milk surpluses are New Zealand, the United
States of America, Germany, France, Australia and Ireland. They are also the top exporters of milk and
milk products in the international market.

Through the years, developing countries have increased their share in the global dairy production. This
growth is mostly the result of an increase in numbers of producing animals rather than a rise in
productivity per head. In many developing countries, dairy productivity is constrained by poor-quality feed
resources, diseases, limited access to markets and services (e.g., health, credit and training) and dairy
animals’ low genetic potential for milk production. Unlike developed countries, many developing countries
have hot and/or humid climates that are unfavorable for dairying, as in the case of African countries
where milk production grew more slowly compared to other developing nations.

Cattle produce 83% of the global milk production, followed by buffaloes with 13%, goats with 2%, sheep
with 1%, and camels provide 0.3%. The remaining share is produced by other dairy species such as
equines and yaks. About one-third of milk production in developing countries comes from buffaloes,
goats, camels and sheep while almost all milk in developed countries is produced by cattle.

In other parts of the world such as sub-Saharan Africa, cattle produce about three-quarters of milk
production. About half of milk production in Asia is also being supplied by cattle, with most of the other
half coming from buffaloes while nearly all the milk produced in Latin America come from cattle. Milk from
dairy species other than cattle represents 39% of milk production in Asia, 24% in Africa, 3% in Europe
and 0.4% in the Americas.

Further look into the 2013 data of the NDA Assisted Farmers would show that CALABARZON is the
major contributor of milk with 4.8 million production and 38% share. Northern Mindanao, Central Visayas,
Davao, and Central Luzon are far runner-ups in terms of this parameter.

For CALABARZON, the breakdown in production data is obtained from the NDA Southern Luzon Field
Office. The data is based on their consolidated report on NDA assisted farms in CALABARZON. Data
shows that the highest contributor in milk production is Batangas (2.69 million liters or 63%) followed by
Quezon (0.89 million liters) then Laguna (0.58 million liters or 14%). Rizal (0.098 million liters or 2%) and
Cavite (0.06 million liters or 1%) are minor contributors in production. Except for Cavite, all provinces
registered positive increases in production with Rizal being the fastest grower followed by Batangas. It is

worth noting however, that the volume of Batangas is substantially larger compared to Rizal production.

Cooperatives provide goods and services to its members enabling them to attain increased income,
savings, investments, and productivity. Membership to cooperatives and/or a larger group called
federation of cooperatives entails greater benefits as the federation performs several functions for its
members. The federation facilitates exchange of information among cooperative entities. It represents
and assists their members in their relationships with the government, and works with other cooperative
organizations to promote shared productivity.

The Palcon Dairy Multi-Purpose Cooperative that is situated in Sariaya, Quezon is considered as one of
most organized dairy cooperative in Quezon. Consolidation of raw milk into village level cooling tanks is

practiced by this cooperative especially for small hold farmers. Meanwhile, pick-up and delivery to
processing complex is usually undertaken by processors provided that there is volume in collection. The
rebates and incentives scheme between processors and milk producers are practiced to ensure delivery
of high quality milk following the parameters set. There exists an almost fraternal relationship between
and among players in the dairy industry in CALABARZON especially for the producers of Batangas,
Laguna, and Quezon and the processors KKMI and BAC.

The provincial government of Quezon has envisioned that in 2020, Quezon province will be the new food
capital of CALABARZON and Metro Manila through optimized utilization of resources, provision of
infrastructures, support facilities, capacity building and harmonization of policies and programs as
pronounced in the DRR/CCA – Enhanced PDPFP of the province.

Given that Quezon is the largest agricultural area in CALABARZON and accounted to be one of the
largest coconut area and coconut producer country, coconut serves as direct source of livelihood of the
provinces’ farmers. The rise of non-traditional coconut product specifically virgin coconut oil - both in local
and international markets sets an opportunity to our small hold farmers.

The promotion and development of the coconut industry will help address the issues and challenges that
the farmers are facing today as well as the supply gap for local and world market. Likewise, the
development of the sector will contribute to the economic growth of the province and help increase the
income of the farmers.

The potential of the province for the development of dairy cattle industry is undeniable. Quezon is
recorded as the second highest contributor of milk production in CALABARZON next to Batangas. Being
closed to Batangas and Laguna, where the largest milk processors are situated, Quezon homes one of
the most organized dairy cooperative.

Given that Quezon has the largest agricultural area in the region, it is evident that the province is potential
production area and source of inputs of the livestock sector. The development of the dairy industry in the
province will generate additional employment and source of additional income.

The Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP) is a 3-year rolling consensus plan between the DA
and PLGU based on the value chain analyses of the commodities conducted with strong participation of
the various stakeholders in the chain. It is the basis of the PRDP’s I-BUILD and I-REAP eligible
interventions and/or sub-projects for funding.
