The Different Crops, Farming system, and Constraints to Agriculture in this Region

1. CORDILLERA administrative region

2. KUNG FU WARRIORS Arenillo, Nadine A Sazon, Jean Lyza S Villanueva, Dennis

3. The Cordillera Administrative Region also known as the Cordillera Region and Cordillera, is situated within the island of Luzon. More than 75% of the region is classified as high elevation (500-2,000 meters above sea level). This gives the region its generally cool climate which nurtures many unique and rare bio-species, and attracts many domestic tourists escaping from the sweltering lowland heat.

4. According to the 2020 Census of Population and Housing, this region is the least populated region in the Philippines. PROVINCES Abra Apayao Benguet Ifugao Kalinga Mountain Province

5. A landlocked region CAR is the only region surrounded by land on all sides North and East: Bordered by the Cagayan Valley Region West and Southwest: Bordered by the Ilocos Region

6. Rugged-mountains dominated towering mountain ranges that define the region. According to Peakery, there are an estimated 281 peaks, if not more, in the whole region.

7. Home to the Igorot People The Cordillera is the ancestral land of the Igorot or the Cordillerans, the collective name of about thirteen highland indigenous ethnic groups that mostly escaped Spanish colonialism. (Bontoc, the Ibaloi, the Ifugao, the Isneg, the Kalinga, the Kalanguya, and the Kankana-ey)

8. FARMING SYSTEM

9. Solar-Powered Irrigation System - These systems use solar panels to power water pumps for irrigation. This reduces the reliance on diesel or electricity, making irrigation more sustainable. Among the advantages of SPIS include non-use of fuel or electricity, it is not affected by power interruptions, it can be installed even in remote areas, easy to operate, does not emit greenhouse gases, suitable for remote watershed and rain-fed areas and can be used continuously for five to 10 hours.

10. Organic Farming - This approach utilizes natural methods for pest and disease control, soil fertility management, and avoids synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

11. ABRA Rice farming - Rice is a staple crop in Abra, with many farmers engaged in rice cultivation using both rain-fed and irrigated systems. The province has irrigation systems, but some areas still rely on rain for water. Palay production = 74, 415 metric tons Area Harvested = 21, 796 hectares Yield per Hectare = 3.41 metric tons per hectare

12. PROCESS 1. land clearing 2. burning 3. planting 4. cultivating and harvesting 5. fallowing Swidden Farming System- Swidden farming, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional farming system practiced by the indigenous communities namely the Itneg people.

13. APAYAO Monocropping or Monoculture - is the practice of growing a single crop year after year on the same land. Integrated Farming Papa’s Peak Integrated Farm

14. BENGUET Organic Farming - This approach utilizes natural methods for pest and disease control, soil fertility management, and avoids synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

15. La Trinidad, Benguet – this town is known for its strawberry plantations, earning the title “Strawberry Fields of the Philippines”, “Salad Bowl of the Philippines, “Rose Capital of the Philippines”. According to the study of Mr. Eugene C. Sayap Jr on 2006 entitled Cost and return analysis of Strawberry Production in La Trinidad, Benguet

16. Hydroponics - Hydroponics is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture which involves growing plants, usually crops or medicinal plants, without soil, by using water-based mineral nutrient solutions in an artificial environment. Advantages of Hydroponics 1. needs no soil 2. conserves water 3. facilitates a micro-climate 4. predictability and seasonality 5. crops grow faster 6. maximizes space 7. produces higher yields 8. require less labor 9. shortens the supply chain 10. produces higher quality food

17. IFUGAO The Banaue Rice Terraces were declared by the Philippine government as a National Cultural Treasure under Ifugao Rice Terraces by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 260 in 1973.

18. The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras were named as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in 1995. It has passed by UNESCO's standards due to the blending of the physical, socio-cultural, economic, religious, and political environment as a living cultural landscape. Integrated Farming Macadangdang Integrated Farm School and Training Inc.

19. KALINGA Monocropping or Monoculture - is the practice of growing a single crop year after year on the same land.

20. MOUNTAIN PROVINCE Agroforestry - is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits.

21. MAJOR COMMODITY/CROPS PRODUCE IN THE REGION

22. PSA 1ST SEMESTER 2018 CROP PRODUCTION OF CAR - SPECIAL RELEASE Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) produced a total of 235,420.0 metric tons (MT) of crops excluding palay and corn during the first semester of 2018. Crops are classified in three types: fruit crops, non-food and industrial commercial crops (NFICCs) and vegetable crops. Percentage Distribution of Crop Production by Type, CAR: 1 st Semester 2018

23. STATISTICS Out of CAR’s total crop production, the province of Benguet contributed the largest share with 65.1 percent or 153,313.1 MT. Volume of Crop Production in CAR, by Province: 1st Semester 2018

24. Out of the 235,420.0 MT of crop production in CAR during the reference period, cabbage was largely produced with 41,773.6 MT or 17.7 percent. MAJOR CROPS STATISTICS CONCLUSION Major/Top Crop Production in CAR: 1st Semester 2018

25. CROP PRODUCTION BY PROVINCE 235,420.0

26. CROP PRODUCTION BY PROVINCE 235,420.0

28. AGRICILTURAL CONSTRAINTS

29. ABRA 308,522 has. 98,790 has. APAYAO 343,627 has 232,199 has. BENGUET 214,523 has 100,977 has. IFUGAO 224,695 72,955 has. KALINGA 267,550 has 84,949 has. MOUNTAIN PROVINCE 194,683 has 75,733 has. DEFORESTATION DENR data indicates that the region’s remaining forest occupies only about 665,603 hectares (has.) or less than half of the 1,553,599 has. total forest land area.

30. impacted negatively on agriculture and forest lands. Mining has polluted and silted Cordillera’s primary river systems over the last 100 years. DESTRUCTIVE MINING PRACTICES GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES Steep slopes limit the amount of arable land available and make mechanized farming difficult. About 71 percent of the region's land area has slopes of 30 degrees and above.

31. VULNERABILITY TO WEATHER-RELATED DISASTERS AND EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE steep slopes (about 90%) renders the region more prone to rain-induced landslides and frost

32. locations hinder efficient transportation of goods. TRANSPORTATION EROSION OF PRODUCTIVE LANDS

33. Lack of proper storage facilities and inefficient processing techniques can lead to significant losses of fruits and vegetables after harvest. POST-HARVEST LOSSES Rotting vegetables and assorted garbage dumped by vegetable farmers
