LESSON PROPER
I. CREATE JOBS
Farmers may gain a business opportunity in vegetable production through selling
vegetables. When manage perfectly, it is a best business idea since it has a low in investment but
high in revenue. Some people who own an organic cultivation farm tends to be a vegetable
distributer firm open to retailers.
Figure 1 Employment
Talking about job opportunities, in some areas there are a lot of people who are
unemployed due to global pandemic and won’t take the job of agriculture. The table below
shows the summary statistics of unemployed person dated from 2019-2020 respectively.
SUMMARRY STATISTICS
PHILIPPINES 2020 2019
Labor Force ( in ‘000) 41,058 44,038
Labor Force Rate (%) 55.7 61.3
Employment (in ‘000) 33,830 41,770
Employment Rate (%) 82.4 94.8
Unemployment (in ‘000) 7,228 2,268
Unemployment Rate (%) 17.6 5.2
The increasing number of unemployment is also the effect of the global pandemic that
affects mainly the agricultural sector in dealing with selling the agricultural productions. On the
other side, business agricultural farms tend to lay a hand to those in need of job so that the
agricultural industry still functional.
II. ALLEVIATE MALNUTRITION
It is a typical health issue in our country when talking about malnutrition. It refers to
deficiencies or excesses in nutrient intake, imbalance of essential nutrients or impaired nutrient
utilization. The double burden of malnutrition consists of both under nutrition and overweight
and obesity, as well as diet-related non communicable diseases.
Figure 1: Alleviate Malnutrition
The link between nutrition and agriculture in the Philippines has focused on leveraging
agriculture to improve nutrition. The programs that had been initiated by the government,
conceptualized and implemented before the elements of a nutrition-sensitive agriculture
framework were identified.
Different programs were implemented to address food production and the nutritional needs
of individuals, families, and communities only with reference to nutrition security.
III GENERATING HIGH INCOME
Farming is where the money is. This may be hard t believe in a country where farmers are
mostly old and poor. Based on 2017 survey of the Department of Agriculture (DA), the average
age of farmers in the Philippines is 60 years old and their average income is around P100,000 a
year according to latest Family Income and Expenditure Survey, or just over P8,000 a month,
which is below the poverty line.
Figure 1: Income
Farmers have to contend the rain and floods, then drought, loans they can hardly pay
because of these seasonal trials, as well as low market prices for their produce. It’s a hard life
and no wonder farmers’ kids do not want to become farmers themselves and dream of other
careers.
Aside from this, selling the vegetable production with a high quality has a higher value in the
market. So it is very important to consider the health of the vegetable and also its site plantation
with a good soil and water irrigation.
