The Farmer’s Story

The Philippines has the most traditional farming history compared to other countries. Most farmers follow their ancestors’ way of producing and selling their harvest. However, when it comes to the rules, those were loop-holed and the influential people who owned a large share of the traditional market initiated major discrepancies.

A poor farmer named Mr. Engilian established a true story how a farmer from bottom can reach the sky, being a low range farmer Mr.Engilian farmed more than 4 varieties a year and due to transport woes he couldn’t establish the right market. However, later he was able to cut out middle men’s cost by making contracts directly with consumer where he made a fortune from the deal.

Challenges

Most famers are losing their businesses because of the middle men. They purchase the farmers stock for very less and sell them in the consumer market with almost 5 times bigger than the price they offered to farmers.

The problem with Philippine farming is, it is associated with poverty, the young generation is not showing much interest in farming as there are other easy ways of earning money .Moreover, no social status can be obtained. Therefore, the youth is running away from the farming.

Protecting farmers from Bukid Buddies perspective

It is necessary that the country’s administration should provide adequate transport facilities to farmers or buy from farmers making justice to producer. Then the vegetables are not rotten and price is also considerably in reach of the common man. 

In order to resurrect the previous image of Filipino farmer, there should be methods of developing the farming and pumping those in subsidies to the farmers . it is also required to provide adequate transportation to shuffle the vegetation to the consumer market and make sure farmer is earning the reasonable share of the transaction.

This will improve the standards of the farmers and their image which can attract the young people into farming. There are lot of potential business investors who look for investing in farming industry. Therefore, making farming profitable will encourage these people to come forward and take farming as a profession.
