SARANGANI PROVINCE PROVINCIAL COMMODITY INVESTMENT PLAN I. DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND The province of Sarangani is located in the southernmost part of the island of Mindanao between latitudes 05°33’41” and 06°32’04” North and longitudes 124°21’39.6” and 125°35’11” East. The province is situated on both sides of Sarangani Bay. The intersecting jurisdictional area of the chartered City of General Santos, situated by the head of the bay, separated the province into two parts. The province’s longitudinally elongated western section faces south to the Celebes Sea with its back to the Daguma Range and South Cotabato. It borders on the province of Sultan Kudarat to the west and on the province of South Cotabato to the north. The province’s latitudinally elongated eastern section in a north-south direction is eastern flanked against Davao del Sur and Alip Range. Its western side is bounded by the province of South Cotabato, General Santos City, and Sarangani Bay. Map 1.Geographical Location Alienable and disposable lands refer to those lands of the public domain which have been the subject of the present system of classification and declared as not needed for forest purposes. A total of 1,262.31 square kilometers or 31.7 percent is considered as A&D areas in the province. An estimate of 90% of the total alienable and disposable land is devoted to agricultural crops. The remaining 2,724.33 square kilometer or 68.3 percent of the total land area of the province are forestland. Classified forest lands include forest reservations, Forest Timberland (Forest Production), National Parks, Military/Naval Reservation, Civil Reservation and Fishpond. In this sub-classification, only Fishpond and Forest Timberland are present in Sarangani Province which constitutes 55.7% of the total forestland. All other areas not falling under Alienable and Disposable Areas and Classified Forest lands are Unclassified Forest Lands. The province’s population in 2010 increased to 498,904 from 410,622 in 2000. It grew by about 1.97 percent annually for the last ten years, lower than the 3.79 percent annual growth rate registered for the period 1990 to 2000. The highest annual growth rate in 2000-2010 was posted by Malapatan at 3.00 percent while Malungon recorded the lowest at 0.19 percent. Sarangani Province posted a poverty incidence among families of 36.7 % (34,205 families) in 2003 with a decrease in 2006 of 34% (33,202 famIlies) and posted an increase in 2009 of 40.7% (39,182 families). The data is based on the refined methodology by National Statistical Coordination Board – source of official poverty statistics. This means that in 2003, 37 out of 100 families in Sarangani were poor, 34 families in 2006 and in 2009 it increased to 41 families from out of 100 families who are poor or with income below poverty threshold. A decrease of 3% between 2003 and 2006 was noted, while in 2009 it posted an increase of 4% over 2003 poor families in the province. Poverty incidence refers to those families or households with income below poverty threshold. In 2009 a person living in Sarangani needed an annual income of at least P14,987 to satisfy his/her basic food/non-food needs. In 2003, table shows that Sarangani ranked No. 11 among the poorest Provinces in the country based on the official poverty statistics by NSCB then in 2006 it showed an improvement and lowered to rank No. 17, however in 2009 the Province ranked No. 12 among the poorest Provinces. Comparing the two Community-based Monitoring System (CBMS) Results, in 2011 CBMS initial results, poverty incidence among households is 61.3% which showed a decrease of 3.3% over 2007 with 64.6. Among the factors that contribute to a slight decrease in poverty incidence are the following : increase in population; in 2006-2009 – rice price increase, in 2008- Global financial crisis and in 2009 - El Nino.

PRIORITY COMMODITY CHAIN DEVELOPMENT: VIRGIN COCONUT OIL A. Commodity Profile Sarangani, a young province, is identified as among the poor provinces in the Philippines inhabited by various ethnic groups like B’laans, T’boli, Kalagan, and Kaolo, a good number of Muslims who are mostly occupying the coastal areas, and different settlers from the Visayas and Luzon. High hopes rest on the PRDP in touching the lives of the impoverish indigenous peoples and those belong to the poorest of the poor in coconut farming communities. Coconut is the major crop of Sarangani Province that’s why it is the priority commodity of consideration covered under PRDP. Other than copra which is the traditional produce of coconut farmers, Virgin coconut Oil (VCO) is the subject of value chain analysis. According to the Coconut Industry Situationer (PCA, 2010) the Philippines has 3.57 million hectares planted to coconut with 3.5 million coconut farmers, who are either landowners, landowner-tillers, tenant-tillers or farm workers. Almost 30 million Filipinos or one-third (⅓) of the Philippine population benefit directly or indirectly from the coconut industry. For centuries, the Philippines prided in as the world’s “King of Coconuts”, but the baton took by Indonesia who surpassed land area planted with coconut. However, the former maintains its status as the world’s premiere exporter of coconut products, quite opposite to the Indonesians who consume most of their coconut produce. The Philippines used to export 80% of its coconut products while Indonesia consumes 80% of their produce. Unlike the Philippines, Indonesia’s coconut industry is not at the mercy of foreign buyers. The SOCCSKSARGEN Region (Region XII, 2012 coco statistics) has a contribution of 224,700 hectares planted with 22,991,536 coconut trees toiled by 105,599 farming families. The existing 17,856,072 bearing coconut trees produce 1,274,837,593 annual nut production translated into 318,152 metric tons in copra terms. Sarangani Province is Region XII’s champion for coconut. It accounts to 43% of the Region’s coconut production. The 2013 coconut statistics of Sarangani Province marked a total of 92,727.16 hectares cocal area planted with 9,272,716 coconut trees. Out of which, 7,603,356 bearing coconut trees produce an annual production of 545,954,327 nuts translated into 121,323.18 metric tons in copra terms produced by 51,689 coconut farming families (Tables 7, 8, & 9). Like all coconut farming communities in the Philippines, the majority coconut farmers in Sarangani Province are small landholders (at 2.00 has.) who depend largely on copra sales for livelihood by just throwing away coconut water and husks to waste. Financially constraint, 50% of coconut farmers resort to sun drying that produce worst copra during bad weather in terms of high moisture content, aflatoxin-related molds infection, contamination with dust, dirt, and other foreign matter, and the presence of rubberized copra as result of harvesting premature nuts. The traditional “tapahan” is used by about 45% of coconut farmers in drying copra. It is effective in drying but the copra produced is black due to smoke as a result of direct or semi-direct firing. Further blanching, bleaching, and deodorizing processes are needed at oil mills in order to remove the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) on black copra, of which costs redound to the decrease in farm gate prices. Handed down from their forefathers, the suki system is already part of their lives when coconut farmers rely most of their financial and providential needs to their suki (copra traders), quid pro quo, purchase of copra at reduced prices. The Filipino value of strong sense of gratification (utang-na-loob) blinded coconut farmers to access to fair copra buyers or to whole nut buyers. Where there are big coconut plantations are also the number of tenant-tillers who are designated by landowners to do copra making at agreed sharing arrangements, usually at 33.33% (one-third) of copra sales. The two-thirds share are the net proceeds of the landowner. More agrarian disputes result to untimely and unabated cutting of productive coconut trees, or resort to land/crop conversion just to rid of tenants. For various reasons, there is low productivity and unprofitability of production due to monocropping, poor cultural practices, high costs of production, and low farm gate prices. Farmers cut productive coconut trees, converted coconut plantations to commercial, industrial, and residential uses and changed to other crops as immediate means for cash. On the other hand, over a million coconut trees are already economically unproductive due to senility, especially in Glan, but coconut farmers opted not for replanting. Really, monocropping by just relying on copra sales pushes the majority small coconut farmers, even the big landholders, to the long list of the poorest of the poor. A case-full of bottlenecks chook the farmers’ necks to poverty. But this can be remedied by coconut farms diversification, adoption of proven cultural practices, provision of technical and logistical support for entrepreneurship in coconut-based processing and value-adding and ultimately marketing of high value coconut finished products and by-products. Thence premised, that this Value Chain Approach for Virgin Coconut Oil (VCA-VCO) unleash the coconut farmers from the bondage of poverty while toiling the “Tree of Life”. Considering the 1,001 uses of the coconut tree, the coconut farmers need not be poor! B. INVESTMENT PLAN To sustain Sarangani Province as the champion of coconut in the region’s position as the leading copra producer and eventually to VCO processing and its by-products and boost its competitive edge in the international market. However, major foreign buyers and users of Virgin Coconut Oil like the Bioriginals Food Sciences Corporation have started to require their suppliers for product certification from international certifying bodies like Rainforest Alliance, FairTrade etc. Buyers would like to be assured that the raw materials that they are using conform to standards that meet certain economic, social and ecological considerations. The certification will guarantee the future of VCO. Hence, to improve Sarangani’s VCO competitiveness, the stakeholders identified the following key objectives for the next five years: a) Set up Sarangani Integrated Coconut Processing ( for VCO production, Coco flour production, Coco Coir Production, Coco peat production, Coco Vinegar production and other by-products) for Sustainable intensification of coconut production through improvement of farm productivity and set-up of agribusiness clusters and trading center for whole nut buying and trading including utilization of by products. b) Increase in production volume primarily through productivity improvement c) Consistent supply of good quality whole nuts’ d) Increased productivity and utilization of by-products. e) Adoption of sustainable production practices and ethical trading practices and achievement of certification Key Gap/Constraint in VC Development in the Province (from the national & regional VCA results) Brief Description of Potential Intervention (subrojects: enterprise or infrastructure, business enabling program, etc.) Target Result/Outcome (including # of farmers/fisherfolk reached, if applicable) Target Areas to be covered (Mun. & Bgys.)

Average annual growth rate was at -0.46%. 2009 production decreased by 3.7% over 2008 figures. In 2010, production increased by 3.4% with volume slightly lower than 2008. Starting 2011, production volume was in a decreasing trend. Between 2008 and 2012, abaca fiber production in Sarangani Province decreased by 3.88%. Average annual production was at 446.44 metric tons. Annual growth rate was at -1% caused by the abaca viral diseases that affected some of the abaca farms and the slowdown in international trade demand brought about by the global economic recession beginning in the latter part of 2008, considered as the most severe downturn since the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Spindle stripped fiber, which made up the remaining 39%, is generally perceived to be of higher quality than hand-stripped fibers and, thus, command a higher price in the market. Abaca farming in Sarangani has been an activity for a very long time ago in the upland communities mostly by the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) like the T’bolis and B’laans who lived in the mountainous and forested areas of Sarangani Province. More than ninety percent of abaca farmers of Sarangani are Indigenous Peoples. Abaca farming has been a culture and tradition of Indigenous Peoples. Even before the abaca fiber have not yet reached the commercial market, it has been already used by the IPs especially the T’bolis as material in weaving an abaca cloth which is now popularly known as Tinalak, a traditional clothings of the T’bolis. It was noted by the pioneer settlers of Brgy. Maligang, and Brgy. Kling that abaca farming was already been practiced by the people of Sarangani especially in Kiamba even before the time of Japanese colonization during World War II. Abaca industry in Sarangani province is very potential Enterprise. With the Global market trend of the abaca industry as well as the availability of local supply and production areas, a provincial-wide and coordinated Production , Processing and Marketing Enterprise of abaca fiber will be very viable business. Production in 2013 accounted for 175 metric tons confined in 1,600 hectares with 18.35% of the region’s total production of 953.65 metric tons. Area planted is 1,600 hectares (PSA 2015). Figure 1. Total Area Planted for Abaca, SARANGANI PROVINCE, 2009-2013 Source : Philippine Statistics Authority Abaca farming is best suited activity for the farmers in the mountainous areas of the province. Because it is the only commodity that have less maintenance cost and has higher price in the market. Abaca farming is also the way of T’bolis in preserving their culture as Indigenous People, just like abaca cloth weaving. Their clothing made of abaca fibers is being preserved. Maximizing of abaca production areas and applying abaca proper production technologies would help regain the production volume of the whole province as well as the whole region of SOCSKSARGEN from 600 Kilogram per Hectare to 1,500 Kilograms per hectare. Investment Plan The Abaca plant (Musa textilis) also known as Manila hemp is indigenous to the Philippines. The Abaca fiber is mainly used for the manufacture of corsage, crafts and various kinds of specialty papers. The low productivity of abaca farms in the Philippines has been attributed to use of poor quality of planting materials and disease incidence. Viruses such abaca bunchy top, abaca mosaic, and abaca bract mosaic are the top three diseases affecting abaca farms.

SARANGANI PROVINCE ABACA FIBER VALUE CHAIN MAPPING Figure 4. Value Chain Map of Abaca Industry in Mindanao Abaca Industry Key Payers & Functions Abaca production in Sarangani Province largely involved the indigenous people communities who cultivated it as main crop, or if not, as secondary crop. Effective and potential areas at about 4,308.86 hectares, more than half of which is located at the western portion of the province composed by the towns of Maitum, Kiamba and Maasim (FIDA Sarangani). In 2014, abaca fiber traded in the province reaches 558 metric tons in which 458 metric tons use handstrip and 100.25 metric tons use stripping machine which translate into more or less Php 25 million sales. Average buying price in 2014 is Php 45.00 per kilo (FIDA Sarangani). There are twelve (12) existing FIDA- registered abaca traders and two(2) Abaca Farmers Cooperatives engaged in abaca trading in the province. Abaca fibers are delivered to the market outlets or buyers in General Santos City , South Cotabato, Lanao del Norte and Davao City. (see list of Market outlet/buer of abaca) There are 12 licensed abaca traders in Sarangani Province of which 2 licensed traders are registered as cooperative. Table 8 .

Nonmembers also supply but loyalty is not guaranteed. UMFMPC has no buying stations in other areas except in Barangay Maligang specifically in Sitio Malayo. The Coop directly buys the fiber produced by members and non-members within Maligang and in the boundary of South Cotabato, specifically in Barangay Tudok. The abaca fibers are delivered to the collecting site/ warehouse by the farmers/strippers. Poor road conditions significantly increase delivery cost. Main constraint faced by cooperative intermediaries and the traders in general is the high degree of variance in terms of volume and quality of fibers. In addition to problems at the farm and stripping levels, poor storage conditions also contribute to quality deterioration. Traders who are unable to consolidate at least 15 tons per delivery sell their fibers to higher level intermediaries. Commodity Investment Plans (CIP) Sarangani Province has identified five (5) priority commodities, namely; coconut, abaca, cacao, coffee and milkfish. The intervention strategies indicated in the CIP for each commodity were ranked during the conduct of consultation among the Value Chain Key Players in Sarangani Province. The results of the said ranking shown on Table 9. Table 9. ABACA: Ranking and Prioritization of intervention Strategy Intervention Strategy Ranking Strengthening of local commercial production and distribution of high yielding and disease resistant planting materials 1 Development and/or strengthening of local extension services and assistance to achieve Rainforest Alliance certification 2 Establishment and/or strengthening of collective enterprises specializing in postharvest operations , fiber processing, tinagak processing, abaca consolidation, trading and marketing 3 Construction and/or repair of farm to market roads in key abaca producing areas 4 Harmonization of interpretation of standards and corresponding price differentials including development of enforcement mechanism 5 Reduce cost of fertilizer use through local production and increased usage of certified good quality organic fertilizer as well as adoption of proper fertilizer application and management 6 Promotion of direct/modular relationships between lead firms and abaca communities 7 The Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP) prioritized abaca as second commodity after coconut. It accounted total abaca farms of 3,044.40 hectares in which farmers has a great opportunity to invest for fiber processing, more than 90% of these is still in backward hand stripping method of fiber processing which resulted to a low quality abaca fiber production. This situation throughout the province is favorable for the investment on mechanized fiber processing and trading. Figure 4. Abaca Suitability Map – Sarangani Province Table 10. Provide the PCIP matrix for the abaca commodity. The Value Chain Analysis for was the basis in identifying interventions to address the identified key gaps or constraints for the following value chain segments: Input Provision, Farming, Processing, Marketing and Inter-firm relationship. Programs and Projects were proposed with corresponding targets. The time-frame of the investment plan is three (3) years. Budgetary Requirement for each project was estimated. Possible funding sources to fund programs and projects in this plan will be from the World Bank – PRDP thru the Department of Agriculture (D.A.), Regular Funds of the D.A., Other National Government Agencies (NGAs), Local Government Unit (LGU), financial institutions (banks), NonGovernment Organizations (NGOs) and Private Sector.
