Agriculture is an important part of the Philippine economy.
Most of the Agricultural area is located on 10 of the country's 7,100 islands, principally the large islands of Luzon in the north and Mindanao in the south. But the plan instigate production of high value crops to meet the demands of the industries and the global world and worse still, export-oriented industrialization is designed for high volume production. Consequently, there will be high raw material requirements like chemical inputs and of course, energy too. The farming areas already dependent to pesticide, herbicide and heavy chemical inputs, continue to destroy the fertility of the soil reducing the status of Agriculture to monocrop and protectionist industry to finance capital. Meanwhile, the environment is in shambles.
