This document discusses a proposed disaster resilient greenhouse corn farm facility in Ilocos Region to enhance corn production through the adaptation of science and technology. It would include various buildings and facilities like a culture testing greenhouse, laboratory, storage, drying and post-harvest facilities. The proposed site is in San Carlos City. The project proponents include the local government unit and government agencies like the Department of Agriculture and Department of Science and Technology. Estimated costs include PHP 650 million for land acquisition, PHP 1.67 billion for building facilities, and PHP 273 million for site development. Funding sources and implementation mechanisms are also proposed.

4. This study was taken to give solutions to alleviate
the problems on the economy our country is facing
today, particularly on the agriculture sector.
Production of non-rice crops after rice in areas that
are not utilized because of inadequate water supply
has proven to be technically feasible and
economically viable.

5. Enhancement corn using the greenhouse could
help minimize the loss and damages in corn
production due to natural disasters and
phenomenal occurrence such as drought and
typhoons and even pest infiltrations. Through the
integration of science and technology in facilities
and farming process, the production could be
properly monitored and controlled.

6. Issues Concerned
• Inadequate provision of irrigation infrastructures.
• Lack of knowledge in disaster preparedness and
improper implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction
management programs
• Impact of severe weather risks and the periodic
occurrence of El Niño and La Niña phenomena
(climate change)
• Low adoption of technologies including mechanization.

7. • Agricultural pest infiltration (insects, snails, rats, birds and
etc.).
• Impact of global trade policies on food security and the supply
and demand for commodities.
• Supplying the growing global demand for commodities arising
from developing economies and world population growth.
• Competing uses of agricultural lands and the conversion of
agricultural lands to non-agricultural uses.

• Regional Development Plan (RDP)
• Philippine National Standard – Good Agricultural
Practice (GAP- Corn)
• Agricultural and Fisheries Mechanization (AFMech) Law

17. Overview of the Region

19. Overview of the Region
• Mineral Resources. Region I is endowed with various mineral resources
both metallic and non-metallic
• Forest Resources. Forests are efficient watersheds which could regulate
the flow of water supply, prevent flash floods and control soil erosion and
water pollution. These are the sources of wood and other forest products
of great economic value, power and water.
• Economy
• As part of the Northwestern Luzon Growth Quadrangle (NWLGQ) and
Northern Luzon-South China growth area, it has good potential for export-
oriented agri-industrial development and tourism activities. The major
industries in the region are agriculture, mining, fishing, tourism, and small
cottage industries. It is a leading producer of tobacco and mango for
export.

20. • Ilocos Region ranked 5th with 5.56% contribution to the country’s corn
production. Among all the regions, Region 1 was recognized to have the best
quality of corn grains.
• Labor and Employment
• In 2011, the region’s labor force totaled 2,237,000 persons wherein 93.38
percent comprised the total employed. Of this, about 827,000 persons were
employed in the agriculture sector or 39.59 percent of the total employment.
• Ports
• An extensive road network links Region I to the other parts of Luzon. Sea
transport facilities are concentrated in the Port of San Fernando and Currimao.
The Salomague Port in Cabugao has facilities as a containerized transhipment
port. These are primarily for the movement of goods.
• The Laoag International Airport in Ilocos Norte serves as the main gateway to
the Ilocos Region. It caters to international flights to and from Taiwan,
Hongkong and Guangzhou, and to local flights as well via Cebu Pacific and
Asian Spirit. The San Fernando Airport is now serving Manila - San Fernando
City, La Union - Manila route through Asian Spirit.

21. • Facilities The region has fairly a developed intra-regional and inter-
regional road network. Approximately 99% of all municipalities or 96% of
all barangays have access to electricity. Private and government
telecommunication services area available in most areas of the region
especially in urban centers. The region is a net energy provider, with two
more power plants to be built.

22. Justification
• Province selected
• Functional role
• Pangasinan is considered as a major gateway
to the North considering its geographic
location on the northern portion of the central
plains of Luzon. Its strategic location and
accessibility to the rapidly expanding
economies gives it more competitive
advantage over other growth centers

regional economy, being the largest province in
the region in terms of land area and population.
Although, regional accounts are not sufficiently
disaggregated to make a detailed estimates by
provinces in Region I, it is speculated that
Pangasinan accounts for a large majority of the
Gross Regional Domestic Product considering
that the annual economic performance or output
of the province was 65-70% of the regional total;
its

•
YEAR BUDGET ALLOCATION
2012 50,803,150,000
2013 55,755,530,000
2014 63,032,675,000

45. Land Acquisition Cost
• The site is located at San Carlos City. The cost of land per square meter is
two thousand five hundred pesos (Php 2,500.00). The area of the site is 26
hectares or 260,000 square meters.
• Area per square meter x suggested cost per square meter = land acqusition
cost
• 260,000 square meters x 2,500 pesos = 650,000,000
• Six Hundred Fifty Million Pesos or 650,000,000 pesos

46. • The 70:30 ratio land use for agriculture is used as the basis for the
computation wherein the 70% is allotted for open space/plantation and
the remaining 30% is allotted as buildable area/facility. The area is 26
hectares, therefore giving us .18.2 hectares for the open spaces and 7.8
hectares for the buildable area/facility.
• Buildable area x (suggested cost per square meter + 1,500) = building
facility cost
• 78,000 x 21,500 = 1,677,000
• Therefore we could say that the estimated Building Facility Cost is One
Billion Six Hundred Seventy Seven Million Pesos or 1,677,000,000 pesos
in
Building Facility Cost

47. Site Development Cost
• Based on the 70:30 ratio, the 70% of the total land area allotted for the
open space/plantation is going to be used for the computation. This is
equivalent to 18.2 hectares or 182,000 square meters. The suggested cost
per square meter for site development is 1,500-2,500 pesos per square
meter.
• Area of development x suggested cost per square meter = site
development cost
• 182,000 square meters x 1,500 = 273,000,000
• Say, that the estimated Site Development Cost is Two Hundred Seventy
Three Million Pesos or 273,000,000 pesos in figures.
