 I. RATIONALE

Corn is the second most important crop in the Philippines. About 14 million Filipinos prefer white corn as
their main staple and yellow corn accounts for about 50% of livestock mixed feeds. Some 600,000 farm
households depend on corn as a major source of livelihood, in addition to transport services, traders,
processors and agricultural input suppliers who directly benefit from corn production, processing,
marketing and distribution. Corn is also processed into high value products, such as cornstarch, corn
syrups, corn oil, gluten and snack foods. The Department of Agriculture’s Agri-Pinoy Corn Program aims
to increase production of quality corn for human consumption, feeds and industrial uses, as well as
empower the farmers and increase their income, thereby improving their quality of life.
