MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Agriculture (DA) is launching the National Farmers and Fishermen Database (NFFD) this quarter to better identify beneficiaries of its credit programs, its top official said yesterday.
In a Facebook post, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said the NFFD would use information technology to store information about every farmer and fisherman in the country, including the geo-tagged location of his farm and house.
“It will also indicate what interventions he has received from government, like loans, seeds, boats, farm inputs and others, and the results of the interventions,” Piñol said.
