Mt. Arayat chosen as agro-enterprise cluster site
August 24, 2011
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Three government agencies selected the Mt. Arayat area as their pioneer local convergence agro-enterprise cluster site in Pampanga.
The Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) made the choice.
DAR Regional Support Services Division chief agrarian reform officer Eden Ponio said the 6,626.33-hectare convergence site covers four agrarian reform community barangays and six non-agrarian reform community barangays from the adjacent towns of Magalang and Arayat with a total of 3,995 farmer beneficiaries.
DENR will distribute seedlings of atis, guyabano, mango, cacao, rambutan, coffee arabica and macadamia to the convergence grantees, while DA will conduct capability building trainings on organic farming and give out vegetable seeds.
DAR, on the other hand, will hold lectures on a number of topics ranging from land tenure improvement to agrarian justice delivery.
Ponio said the local convergence agro-enterprise cluster site project seeks to stimulate economic activity in the countryside and support the Aquino administration’s National Greening Program.
It was conceived through the enhanced National Convergence Initiative (NCI) issued by Secretaries Proceso Alcala of DA, Virgilio Delos Reyes of DAR and Ramon Paje of DENR last year.
Ponio said the enhanced NCI promotes a framework of sustainable agriculture and rural development that integrates the people, their economy and their environment, and optimizes resources and creates substantial effect in the short-term.
The framework also makes possible model building across ecosystems, production systems and rural poverty sectors/small producers in the long-term; defines clear mechanisms for harmonization and complementation among the three rural development agencies to avoid conflicting and overlapping policies that slow the implementation of programs and projects on the ground; and gives local government units a more pro-active role in identifying and implementing convergence initiatives at the local level.
The three agencies are set to identify more convergence areas in the province in the coming months. (Charlene Cayabyab)
