Sarangani
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.

III. 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

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR PRDP-FUNDING
A. Implementation/ implementation supervision
To effectively and efficiently implement PRDP PCIP, the Provincial Government of Sarangani
through the Provincial Agriculture Office shall take the lead role in the implementation,
monitoring and evaluation of the specific programs, projects and activities identified under
the PCIP in coordination with concerned agencies. Other departments of the provincial
government and lower LGUs shall be tapped to provide support and feedback mechanism in
the course of its implementation.
B. Organization and Management
The effective implementation of the PRDP Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP) of
the Province of Sarangani entails the following stakeholders to undertake their respective
tasks:
1. National Program Coordination Office (NPCO), headed by the DA Undersecretary for
Operations, shall handle overall coordination and support, particularly in information
and external communications. It shall coordinate Program management information
and monitoring and evaluation and shall serve as the interim Program Support Office
(PSO) for Mindano Cluster.
2. Regional Program Advisory Board, headed by Regional Executive Director, shall
provide guidance to the Regional Program Coordination Office (RPCO) and ensure
that policy directions are carried out in project planning and implementation. It shall
review and approve for funding I-Build and I-Reap subprojects endorsed by RPCO
and shall review, approve and endorse PRDP annual regional work and financial plan
to the National Program Coordination Office.
3. Program Support Office (PSO) shall oversee the regional cluster operations and
support services, disburse funds and prepare reports related to fund management
and support the NPCO in ensuring achievement of Program milestones.
4. Regional Program Coordination Office (RPCO), established in DA-RFU with guidance
and support from PSO and NPCO, is the key implementing unit of Philippine Rural
Development Program (PRDP) for Mindanao Cluster. It shall ensure full play of RFU,
including mobilization of DA-related agencies. It shall review, evaluate and validate
subproject proposals submitted by Local Government Units (LGUs) for endorsement
to RPAB. RPCO shall monitor the physical and financial progress of PRDP components
following reporting arrangements prescribed in the Program Monitoring and
Evaluation System.
5. Philippine Rural Development Program – Provincial Program Management and
Implementing Unit (PRDP-PPMIU) of the Province of Saranani, shall oversee the
implementation of the Program in the Province. It shall determine the necessary
interventions to ensure timely delivery of government commitments to the Program.
It shall coordinate program requirements with concerned national government
offices, LGUs and the private sector, if necessary PRDP-PPMIU shall resolve issues and
concerns relative to the implementation of the Program and shall require regular
submission to appropriate authorities of accomplishment reports by the Program
Action Teams.
There shall also be organized Action Teams that shall spearhead all activities of the
Program components.
I-Plan Team shall lead the formulation of the Provincial Commodity
Investment Plan and prepare other related documents.
I-Build Team shall implement the PRDP infrastructure projects.
I-Reap Team shall carry out the investment plan in rural enterprises and
agri- fisheries productivity.
I-Support Team shall ascertain sufficient allocation, timely disbursement
and proper utilization of the local counterpart funds for the Program. It
shall also ensure that the Program components and objectives are
implemented and achieved and DRR-CCA dimensions are integrated in
the PRDP plan of the Province.
6. The project proponents shall be responsible for timely submission of required
reports and documents pertinent to project performance and operation status.
C. Monitoring & Evaluation
The PRDP standard monitoring and evaluation system shall be utilized by the Provincial
Planning and Development Office through the Monitoring and Evaluation Division. There
shall be periodic submission of web-based monitoring reports to concerned agencies.
Results and recommendations shall be used in the improvement or modification necessary
to enhance project management.
D. Social and Environmental Safeguards (SES)
The social and environmental safeguards (SES) is one of the support activities that will be
undertaken to ensure that all subprojects to be implemented are not only technically,
economically and financially viable, but are also environmentally and socially sound and
sustainable.
The SES will operate according to the provisions of the existing Philippine Government
policies, framework and guidelines (including local policies) as well as other Donor
governing policies concerning the sub-project implementation.
SES consideration will
ensure that the people and the environment will not be adversely affected by any subprojects implementation.
Thus, all PRDP sub-projects under the I-BUILD and I-REAP components shall undergo
environmental
screening
conforming
to
the
environmental
guidelines.
Project
implementation will also determine if construction activities cause to displace and affect
persons such that appropriate resettlement, compensation and rehabilitation plans in
accordance to land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation framework are to be
formulated for sub-project affected persons. Moreover, affected rural communities,
particularly involving the indigenous peoples and communities will be involved at the start
of the planning and design stage of sub-project in accordance with the provisions in the IP
policy framework.
All necessary compliance concerning the social and environmental assessment will be
adopted and will be discussed in detail in the social and environmental section of each subproject Feasibility Study or Business Plan.

During the period 2008 to 2012, average annual production of abaca fiber in Sarangani
was at 250 metric tons. 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.

In 2013, hand stripped abaca fiber comprised 61% of the 5,457 bales produced in
Sarangani Province. 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

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.

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

Cooperatives largely rely on their membership base as their source for abaca fibers. 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

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.

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.
