    The Filipino farmer is typically a tenant farmer working on rice lands. They make up 70% of the rural poor in the Philippines. Filipino farmers remain poor due to low agricultural productivity, underinvestment in rural infrastructure, unequal land distribution, high population growth, low quality services, low prices for agricultural goods, natural disasters, unpredictable markets, and armed conflict. Filipino farmers aspire to own land, provide a better future for their children, increase production through better inputs, have a sustainable income and quality of life, and find additional sources of income.
