Farmers' Perceptions on Organic Rice Production Areas in Three Regions of Mindanao, Philippines
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the motivations, challenges, and adoption rates of organic rice farming in Regions 9, 10, and 12 of Mindanao. The research focuses on how farmers’ perspectives impact organic farming practices in an ideal ecosystem. Using a multistage sampling technique, data was collected through interviews and structured questionnaires, analyzed with descriptive statistics. Findings show that most organic rice farmers are mature, male, married, and have a high school education. Challenges like pest control, market access, and early investment are prevalent, but the potential for higher premiums and environmental benefits increases interest in organic farming.
