© Strategy 1.1: Bayahinan Agri Clusters (BACs) "Block Farm Program" Now on its 5th year of implementation, the Block Farm Program continues to pursue the goal of converting consolidated farms owned by agrarian reform beneficiaries and small sugarcane farmers into agribusiness centers through professionalized farm management and mechanized farming with provisions for logistical, financial, technical and production support services. As of December 31, 2021, the sum of P6,475,126.97 start-up capital was provided to 213 block farms for the establishment of HYV nurseries in Visayas, and the procurement of agricultural inputs in Luzon/Mindanao.

Table. 1. Block Farm Interventions/Support From January 1 to December 31, 2021, out of the 81 validated block farms in Luzon/Mindanao and Visayas, a total of 58 block farms are accredited with 2,040 enrollees. Eighteen (18) block farms accredited in Luzon/Mindanao with 480 enrollees, and forty (40) block farms in Visayas with 1,560 enrollees. Among the accredited block farms, three (3) have been accredited as Civil Society Organizations (CSO) in Visayas. Total hectares covered for Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao is 8,416.16 hectares. Other interventions provided from January 1 to December 31, 2021 are, the establishment of 62 HYV nurseries, 35 capability building conducted to 2,408 total participants. Total start-up capital provided for block farms in Luzon/Mindanao and Visayas amounted to Php6,475,126.97. The start-up capital funds the procurement of agricultural inputs in Luzon/Mindanao and the

interventions/support given to the BFP is shown in Table 1.

© Strategy 1.6: Credit Support "SIDA Socialized Credit Program"

The Socialized Credit Program (SCP) of SIDA 2015 was designed to promote and support the productivity improvement programs to boost the production of sugarcane and increase the incomes of sugarcane farmers/ planters and farmworkers

SCP is available to SRA-registered sugarcane farmers, associations, and service providers, through the Land Bank of the Philippines as a government financial institution, for the acquisition of production inputs, farm machinery, and implements necessary for the continuous production of sugarcane.

From January 1 to November 30 of this year 2021, based on the available data submitted by Agrarian Accounting Department (AgAD) of Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) to SRA, a total amount of PHP149.62 million has been released to 235 sugarcane farmer beneficiaries of SIDA Socialized Credit Program. Despite the risk and serious effect of Covid 19 to our daily lives and everything around us, the SRA and LBP administration and ground personnel continued to work hand in hand in order to deliver the services needed by the farmers, in particular the Socialized Credit program.

• Biological Agents - The mass production of Trichogramma as a biological control agent, against sugarcane stem borers, of the LGAREC have a significant impact to the sugarcane planters as well as to rice, corn, and vegetable farmers in Negros and other parts of Visayas due to its proven efficacy, affordability and safety in comparison to toxic chemical agents which is harmful to both health and environment. A total of 40,449 pieces of T. strips were produced of which 31,247 pieces were distributed to 61 clients from January 1 to December 31, 2021.

• Plantlets. The utilization of micro-propagation technology to rapidly multiply newly released varieties of sugarcane to produce and to distribute to sugarcane industry stakeholders. Table 2 shows plantlets variety and distribution of 115,510 pieces and 30 clients from January 1 to December 31, 2021.

• Soil Analysis. The result of soil analysis is essential to properly recommend the kind and volume of fertilizer to apply in each farm. The Soils Laboratories of SRA continuously cater to the analytical needs of sugarcane farmers. Total soil samples analyzed from January 1 to December 31, 2021 is 2,165 assisting 689 planters/farmers/block farms.

• Beneficial Micro-Organism (BMO). The BMO is a nitrogen fixer for sugarcane which promotes crop growth, protection, stress resistance, and nutrient uptake efficiency. BMO produced from January 1 of December 31, 2021 is 6,225.72 gallons and distributed to 159 interested sugarcane farms with area of 622.57 hectares.

will have an impact on the identification of stopgap varieties for areas prone to waterlogging and drought. With the current goal of expanding sugarcane production areas, the result from this study will be vital. Moreover, the identified varieties from this project are starting materials for the development of resilient sugarcane varieties adaptable to variable environmental conditions. Table 2 shows selected sugarcane varieties for drought & waterlogging tolerance. These varieties are for evaluation. Result/terminal report will be released by middle of 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the research layout in our LAREC site was already harvested. Juice analysis and other pertinent growth data were submitted to UPLB for consolidation of the terminal report.

@ Strategy 2.4: Food Safety and Regulations -"SRA Food Safety Regulatory System"

The development of the Food Safety Regulatory System of SRA is targeted on the last quarter of 2021. On March 24, 2021, the Food Safety Regulation Coordinating Board (FSRCB) had its meeting and one of the agreements reached was the creation of the Committee for the Delineation and Linkage of Food Safety Mandates. Delineation on regulatory function on sugar will be included in this committee's task and the crafting of food safety regulatory framework may proceed once functions have been defined.

The approval of Revisions of the FSRCB Manual of Procedures and its resolutions has put into effect the creation of new committees. To date, the Committee on Delineation and Linkage of Food Safety Mandates had its initial meeting last November 12, 2021 and was chaired by the Department of Agriculture. Meetings with agencies with concerns on mandates will be conducted on a one on one basis. As of December 31, 2021, no succeeding meeting have been scheduled.

The monitoring of raw and refined sugar quality and safety conformance to the Philippine National Standards (PNS) as produced is a continuous activity of the Laboratory. From January 1 to December 31, 2021 the amount of raw and refined sugar analyzed by the Sugar Laboratory in Quezon City and Bacolod City numbered 839 and 224 respective. Total test certificates issued for raw and refined sugar is 1,299.

Forty-one (41) projects under the R,D & E Program have been completed (Table 1). Output of the research projects will be packaged and disseminated to make them useful to the sugarcane farmers and other stakeholders as future reference to sugarcane production.

Through the RDE Program, different laboratory equipment were donated for the upgrading of five (5) MDDC laboratories, 1 planter cooperative and four (4) State Universities and Colleges (SUCs).

The SIDA-RDE Program, in collaboration with the University of the Philippines (UPLB) is also conducting studies and developments of drought and waterlogging tolerant varieties entitled: Assessment of Sugarcane Varieties & Germ plasm Collection for Drought & Waterlogging Tolerance, the object of this project is to support the development of climate change resilient sugarcane varieties through the identification of drought and waterlogging tolerant sugarcane variety/germplasm accession.
