Philippine Standard time

The ACPC Institution Building Program


This paper presents ACPC's estimate of the number of small farmers and fisherfolk based on available data from various government institutions. Based on what has been gathered, small farmers and fisherfolk constitute a substantial majority (over 90%) of all farmers and fisherfolk. This is around 21% of the total labor force in 2002. Thus, if government is serious in uplifting the lives of a significant segment of the country's population, this information is crucial in formulating the allocation of resources and investments for this important sector of Philippine society.
