PROVINCIAL COMMODITY INVESTMENT PLAN (PCIP)
Province of Ifugao
I. DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT
Ifugao is one of the 6 provinces comprising the Cordillera Administrative Region which was
created in 1987 through Executive Order 220. It has 11 municipalities, 175 barangays and 10
Special Economic Zones occupying 256,636 hectares of land area that makes up 14.03% of the
total land area (1,829,368 has) of CAR. From only 10.71 percent of the province land area
classified as alienable and disposable (A & D) lands in 2003 based on NAMRIA land
classification, it increased to 21.84% in 2010.The Province is a landlocked mountainous
province located in the Northern portion of Luzon Island and lies between 120°40’ to 121°31’
longitude and 16°35’ to 17°5’ latitude. It is bounded on the east by Isabela, Benguet on the
west, Mountain Province on the north and Nueva Vizcaya on the south. The province of Ifugao
is predominantly rural. Only 5 out of 11 municipalities have urban barangays.
Ifugao has a total population of 191,078 with 39,479 HHs. From 2000 to 2010, growth rate is at
1.69%. The province’s 2010 population of 191,078 persons translated to a gross density of 74
persons per sq. kilometer which is lower than the regional average of 82 persons per square
kilometer and the national average of 308 persons per square kilometer. Males outnumbered
females. The sex ratio for the years 2000 and 2010 are 104 and 106 respectively. This means
that in 2010 there are 106 males in every 100 female.
Based on the 2012 CBMS conducted province-wide, a total of 75, 637 are in the labor force of
the province of which 60.44% are male and 39.56% are female. Economic dependency ratio is
64 for the whole province meaning for every 100 independents, there are 64 dependents.
Literacy rate in 2012 is 92.10%.
Ifugao with its rugged, mountainous, flat, lowland characteristic and fertile lands is conducive
for the development of Agriculture. There are several agricultural crops grown in the Province
which are classified as seasonal and permanent crops. Seasonal crops are dominated by two
staple food; rice and corn. Yellow corn is pre-dominantly used for commercial purposes
compared to the white corn.
Other seasonal crops include vegetables, rootcrops and legumes. Permanent crops which are
planted independently or are intercropped with other plants includes the following: robusta
and arabica coffee that are planted mostly in the upper portion of Ifugao. Others are mango,
pomelo and different variety of oranges.Other emerging fruit crops are rambutan, durian,
lanzones and rattan. A seasonal number of these fruits are already in the bearing stage.
Sugarcane also has great potentials.
2
Coffee (67.94%) however has the highest production under the permanent crops followed by
banana (21.97%). Coffee which is classified as arabica and robusta produced a total production
of 3,198.51 metric tons for the past three years or an average production of 1,066.17 metric
tons annually.
II. DEVELOPMENT VISION AND FRAMEWORK OF IFUGAO
UNESCO recognizes Ifugao as a world heritage site with the inscription “a living cultural
landscape”. As such the province stands to gain in terms of attention and assistance of national
government and international organizations in the preservation of and enhancement of its rice
terraces and unique culture. Likewise, the province is recognized as the only province in the
country as a globally important agriculture heritage system site along with 7 others in the
world by FAO.
Anchored on this potential, the Province vision is to become an “Eco-Cultural Tourism Center
with God-Loving and Empowered PeopleLiving in Life-sustaining communities and a Life-
Enhancing Environment where Principled Governance Prevails”.
Local economic development is the main goal in Ifugao provincial development and the
province believes that poverty reduction and the aspiration for better quality of life for every
Ifugao are hinged on the ability of the local population to generate income. While the province
have improved a lot in social and economic development, its potentials in eco-cultural tourism
and agro-industry when harnessed can serve as the springboard for a sustainable economic
development that can have rippling effects to the whole region.
The province’s economy is propelled by the agriculture activities wherein the municipal
products of Ifugao are agricultural in nature, reflective of the main economic activity in the
area.
Agricultural data has shown that the province is the top producer of “tilapia” in the region with
a harvest of 1, 461.51 metric tons in 2012. In terms of corn production, its 2 lowland
municipalities of Lamut, Alfonso Lista and parts of Aguinaldo have produced at least 261,643
metric tons from 2009-2011 making Ifugao the top producer of corn in CAR and 19th
in the
country.
As of 2012, 62,465 metric tons of palay were harvested from about 17,193 hectares of irrigated
and rain-fed production areas. Of this volume, 1,868 metric tons are “tinawon”, a native rice
variety. The potential of this rice variety lies in it being organic and harvested from the 2,000
year old rice terraces and thus highly priced at about P100.00 per kilo. “Tinawon” has been
started to be exported in 2006.
3
Organic vegetable and root crops farming is also seen as the comparative advantage that the
province has over main vegetable producers in nearby provinces. Leafy vegetables and fruit
vegetables production has been increasing. About 7, 329.18 metric tons organic “camote”
was harvested in 2012. Of all fruit bearing trees in the province, banana occupies the most at
813 hectares, yielding about 6,510 metric tons in 2012. Demand for banana is insatiable not
only for domestic consumption but also in the export market.
Ifugao is also the second top producer of coffee in CAR producing 1,061.35 metric tons in 2012
from about 2,513 hectares of plantations found in higher terrains in the province. Two
homegrown coffee products, the Terraces Brew and Lagawe Arabica Blend have already made
it into the local and international markets. Coffee production and development is among
those seen in agri-industry that has great potentials of complementing eco-cultural tourism.
Among the important strategies for agri-industry and eco-cultural tourism development
includes developing organic farming making the province as the region’s major source of
organic rice, vegetables, fruits and coffee; promotion of high value crops and processing
technologies; investment promotion for more contract growing project; promoting the use of
integrated farming systems in the rice terraces and agricultural diversification to increase
stability of income; intensifying the promotion of priority industries such as agri-business, high
value products and tourism-related industries; establishing marketing outlets outside the
province, encouraging private investments including the setting-up of travel and tour agencies
in the province, purposive promotions and marketing of our tourist destinations; enhancing
tourism related community-based livelihood activities and implementing critical support
infrastructure that are focused on impact projects.
III. PRIORITY COMMODITY CHAINS DEVELOPMENT
A. COMMODITY PROFILE
Coffee is the regional commodity in the Cordillera Region as adopted by the Regional
Development Council. Coffee is also the regional one-town, one-product of the region. Its
potentials include being the identified commodity for agro-forestry programs in CAR.
Aside from its forestry function, coffee products come in the following: as dried beans, as
roasted coffee (grounded and whole beans) and in other product forms like coffee wine,
coffee extracts and soap.
Coffee in the province of Ifugao is harvested in about 2,513 hectares of plantations found
in higher terrains in the province. It involves at least 2,826 households as coffee
growers.Its harvest of 1,061.35 metric tons in CY 2012 accounts to 18.71% of the total
4
coffee production in CAR. The beans are of 2 types: Arabica and Robusta with Robusta
having 98.41% of the total coffee production in the province.
Coffee areas are mostly found in the municipalities of Asipulo, Kiangan and Lagawe and
scattered in upland parts of Aguinaldo, Mayoyao, Banaue, Lamut, Hungduan and Hingyon.
Stakeholders in the coffee production and development industry would include the coffee
growers, coffee buyers and traders of raw coffee beans, coffee processors and the sellers
or market outlets for processed coffee. Planting, care and management of coffee trees,
harvesting, dyring, depulping, sorting, packing and transporting are all the responsibilities
of the coffee growers.
Support facilities for input provision include 3 PLGU nurseries, 4 MLGU nurseries, 2 private
nurseries and 16 agricultural farm supply stores in the province. On trading of raw beans,
there are at least 7 individual local traders. On product development, there are 3
Associated Processors, 2 individual processors and 1 multi-purpose cooperated engaged in
coffee processing. This includes sorting and grading of coffee beans, roasting and grinding
and packaging and labeling.
At present, only 10% of the raw coffee bean products are processed, 20% are processed
blended coffee and 70% are sold in their raw robusta green and dried bean form. The
PLGU intends to invest in coffee production and development targeting increase in coffee
production and increase in the percentage of processed beans and blended coffee.
B. INVESTMENT PLAN
Investment in coffee production and development is seen as among the strategies for
increasing income of farming households complementing income from other agricultural
crops and off-farm activities. The primary objective is to increase the area of coffee
plantation and the volume of production of coffee both by 40% in CY 2019 (from 1,061.35
to 1,485.89 in 2019). Another objective is for processed organic coffee and blended coffee
will increase to 50% and 30% respectively so that green beans and dried berries that are
unprocessed are being sold directly to traders shall be only 20% of total coffee production.
This is an indicator that coffee growers are also into coffee processing for value adding.
Coffee production and development shall be able to create at least 700 job opportunities
for empowered coffee farmers infusing at least P 21, 600,000 investments (at P 30,000.00
per hectare) and increasing income of farmer households by 50%.
5
Investments shall come in the improvement of farm to market roads as strategy for
improving access to existing and potential coffee production areas, establishment of
appropriate irrigation facilities, establishment of coffee-based agro-forestry demonstration
projects at the communities and conduct of various trainings on Farm Management, Coffee
Rejuvenation, Organic Coffee Production and others. For provision of inputs, improvement
of PLGU nurseries and establishment of MLGU and BLGU nurseries are seen as critical if we
are to assure the production of quality coffee seedlings.
For processing, there is a need to provide post-harvest facilities and equipments and to
organize and strengthen coffee growers association not only for them to be able to better
manage their coffee development projects but also for easier linkage with government
programs. Establishment of a provincial coffee center comes to the fore for processing and
marketing needs including trainings and demonstration needs. Existing small processing
centers have to be upgraded for them to comply with FDA requirements. Product
development, packaging and labeling shall also be done.
A mechanism for quality control shall also be in place including strategies for making coffee
market opportunities available to coffee growers.
The PCIP Success Indicators, Strategic Objectives and Strategies are summarized as follows:
PCIP Goals • Contribute to increase income of coffee farmer households
by 20% in CY 2017
Outcomes • Creation of 350 job opportunities for coffee farmers
• Increased investments in coffee production and
development to P 21,600,00.00
Growth Objectives • Increased coffee production by 20% in 2017
• Processed organic blended coffee will be 40% of total coffee
production, organic processed robusta coffee will be 40%
and only 20% will be sold in its raw form as organic robusta
green and dried coffee beans

projects like irrigation systems and multi-purpose pavements identified in the I-REAP
component.
Projects for rural enterprise development and agriculture productivity shall be handled by the
Provincial Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Office (PAENRO) including agro-
forestry development. A system for Monitoring and Evaluation including feedback mechanism
7
from intended beneficiaries shall be prepared by the PPDO and a monitoring and evaluation
team shall likewise be formed that shall be responsible not only for progress monitoring but as
well as for the preparation of project status reports and evaluation reports.
Coffee Growers’ Association, Coffee Processors’ Association including private individuals
benefitting from rural enterprise sub-projects shall have to submit action plans and periodic
financial statements. Secretariat services shall also be provided by PPDO to provide support
services to the PPMIT.
V. EXPANDED VULNERABILITY AND SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT
VULNERABILITY AND SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
BSWM has a standard format for assessing vulnerability and suitability for crop production.
Vulnerability is assessed through area exposure to extreme weather events of frequency of
typhoon and drought. Suitability is assessed through land limitations and land suitability. For land
limitations, factors considered are the slope and the risk of the production area to flooding. For
land suitability, commodities were grouped and respective soil analysis was done as to what type of
soil is best suited for a certain commodity. The framework for VSA is as follows:
8
The software for EVSA has apportioned 50% of the total parameters for the original VSA as studied
and presented by the BSWM. Based on such criteria, the following is the corresponding scores and
rank of the municipalities in the province.
ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS FOR EVSA
Considering coffee as prime commodity and considering socio-economic factor for the Expanded
Vulnerability and Suitability Assessment (EVSA), the following are included as additional parameters
to measure suitability:
• Area of Coffee Production,
• Potential Expansion Area for Coffee Production,
• Production,
• Number of Households Engaged in Coffee Farming, and
• Households with Income below Poverty Threshold.
EVSA RESULTS
Using the additional parameters and combining with the VSA done by the BSWM (land suitability,
land limitations, exposure to extreme weather events and drought), a final ranking for vulnerability
and suitability assessment for municipalities is determined based on coffee as the commodity.
The table below presents the data along the 5 additional parameters and the corresponding
percentage allotments based on ability to influence coffee production and number of potential
beneficiaries.
