GUIDELINES FOR THE PROVISION OF SUPPORT FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF FARMERS' INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES CENTERS UNDER THE RICE COMPETITIVENESS ENHANCEMENT FUND

As the lead agency in extension services under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) has come up with strategies to enhance the access of the rice farmers to information relevant to them. Among these is the collaboration with Farmers' Information and Technology Services (FITS) Centers nationwide to deliver information and technology services in the barangay level.

To ensure the smooth implementation of this initiative, guidelines were developed for the provision of support for the enhancement of FITS Centers under RCEF. Please refer to the guidelines attached.

For questions, please contact Yovina-Claire A. Pauig and Erika Z. Vizcarra of the Information Services Division at (02) 8929-8541 local 258 or e-mail [email protected].

Guidelines for Support to FITS Centers for Enhancement under RCEF Rev. 00 I as of February 24, 2020

Guidelines on the Provision of Support for the Enhancement of Farmers' Information and Technology Services (FITS) Centers under the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund

(RCEF)

A. Description

The Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) or Republic Act 11203 took effect in March 2019. This is to promote food security by lowering the price of rice for the Filipino family. The law liberalizes the importation, exportation, and trading of rice, lifting for the purpose the quantitative import restriction on rice. It amends The Agricultural Tariffication Act or Republic Act 8178.

RTL aims to support domestic rice production as it mandates the National Food Authority (NFA) to source the emergency buffer stock solely from local farmers. It also provides funds for farmer education and mechanization to improve productivity. Under the law, a minimum of 35 percent tariff is imposed on rice imports and removes all import and trade licensing. Tariff revenues are earmarked for rice productivity improvement.

The law also creates the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) which will benefit farmers with Php10 billion annual appropriation for the next six years. The fund is allocated to agencies under the Department of Agriculture (DA) and other government and government-owned institutions, as follows:

• Rice farm machinery and equipment (50%) - implemented by the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PHilMech)

• Rice seed development, propagation, and promotion (30%) - implemented by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice)

• Expanded rice credit assistance (10%) - will be made available in the form of a credit facility with minimal interest rates and minimum collateral requirements to rice farmers and cooperatives to be managed equally by the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP)

• Rice extension services (10%) - will be made available for extension services provided by the PHilMech, PhilRice, Agricultural Training Institute (ATI), and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)

All these components funded by rice tariff revenues are being implemented in an integrated manner for about two million farmers in !7 priority provinces identified for the program, as follows:

Ifugao (CAR) Kalinga (CAR) Ilocos Norte (1) Ilocos Sur (1) La Union (1) Pangasinan (1) Cagayan (2) Isabela (2) Nueva Vizcaya (2) Quirino (2) Aurora (3)

In each of the 57 provinces, priority cities land municipalities were identified for services under RCEF, which is on top of the budget from t e regular rice program of the DA.

Under the extension component, ATI aims tp enhance the access to information of the rice farmers by tapping the Farmers' Information and echnology Services (FITS) Centers in the identified priority areas. This is by supporting FITS Centers that are located in the city/municipal local government units (LGUs) to establish "sat llite" FITS Centers in selected barangays in their area.

Through this, ATI aims to make infor beneficiaries of RCEF as well as increase countryside towards RTL, RCEF, and DA's

B. Objectives

ation more accessible and available to the target awareness and understanding of the farmers in the ice-related programs and services.

To bring RCEF- and rice-related informati n and technology services to farmers in the barangay level through the establishment of local FI S kiosks.

Specifically, this project aims to:

1. increase the capacity of the barang y LGU and extension workers to provide information and technology services to rice far ers in line with the goal of the RTL

2. increase awareness and understa initiatives among farmers and appropriate information, educatio

3. strengthen the linkage among th bringing information and technolo

Physical targets and corresponding budget Allocation for this project in the succeeding years shall be identified and communicated accordingly by the ATI-Information Services Division (ISD).

D. Funding Utilization

The Php145,000.00 budget for each identified city/municipal FITS Center shall be utilized as follows, subject to the usual accounting anauditing rules and regulations:

• The five identified barangays shall have a budget of Php25,000 each for the creation/establishment of a display of IEC materials in strategic/accessible locations. IEC materials can be flyers, brochures, posters, magazines, and guides related to RCEF and its components, rice farming technolo ies, and other relevant information. The budget shall also cover the expenses for the F TS kiosk signage (see Annex A for template) to be installed by the barangay LGU.

However, should the barangay LG opt to shoulder the expenses for the IEC display, the amount may instead be used to provide information and communications technology (ICT) tools such as netbooks, t blets, and printers to be used for re-packaging, reproduction, and dissemination of national and localized IEC materials to the target clientele. ATI, through the RTC's IS , shall provide relevant IEC materials for this purpose but the barangay LGU is also encou aged to actively acquire related materials from other agencies and institutions.

• The remaining Php20,000 from th- total funds shall be used for the enhancement of the selected city/municipal FITS Center. This shall be used to:

a) conduct a briefing for the si and its components

b) complement the FITS Cent o the display, disse
