The PRDP is a 6-year development program implemented by the Department of Agriculture that aims to increase farmers' incomes and promote a more market-oriented and climate-resilient agriculture sector. It partners with local governments and the private sector to provide infrastructure, facilities, and technology. Science-based tools are used for innovation, product development, and marketing of agricultural enterprises. Farmers are provided inputs to identify market opportunities and develop competitive advantages for their commodities. Infrastructure projects adhere to quality and transparency standards to ensure efficient spending and climate change adaptation. The program also supports champion commodities and community participation in project implementation to fully integrate farmers into markets.

competitive advantage of a certain commodity
along segments of the market chain.

8. VSA
• is a tool employed by the Bureau of Soils and Water Management adopted by PRDP as
guide for strategic commodity planning which
considers the agro-edaphic (soil) conditions of
commodities and the vulnerability of farm
locations to natural calamities such as erosion,
flood, typhoons, and the like.

9. E-VSA
• EVSA, an online tool (accessible through the PRDP website,
(www.daprdp.net)
• takes into account both agro-climatic data, and socio-
economic indicators such as poverty magnitude and
incidence, number of farmers and fishers and size of
production area, among others as bases in targeting
interventions and formulating strategies for investments.

10. Geotagging
• Geotagging, is an information technology application that associates
digital resource such as photos and videos with geographic and location
information with high degree precision.
• It facilitates easy and accurate locations of
infrastructure, livelihood and agri-fishery facilities
on a map enabling virtual monitoring and
supervision of sub-project implementation.

11. I-BUILD
