II. PROJECT RATIONALE
As an agricultural province, Negros Occidental is basically dependent on its
agriculture industry in terms of its economic growth. For years, various
programs and initiatives have been introduced that contributed to the
progressive evolution and transformation of the agricultural sector as a
whole.
Tapping the potentials of agriculture for higher growth and empowering
ourselves to meet the challenges, the Provincial Government through its
“Negros First “ Priority Agenda had identified the gaps and concerns in the
agricultural landscape of the local communities throughout the province.
In consonance with the Food Security Program and in giving emphasis to
the attainment of 100% Rice Sufficiency level, the Province propose to
provide on-farm mechanization program. The aim of this program is to
enable small farmers to improve their productivity through appropriate
and efficient mechanization technologies.
With these postharvest equipment and facilities provided the small farmers
could process their rice produce in the most efficient and practical way
without incurring more losses due to lack of needed appropriate
equipment and technology thus, improving their postharvest efficiency and
farm productivity.
Hence, this proposal.
