    The livestock industry is also increasing due to the dispersal and redispersal program provided by the LGU and other sectors.

The area of production for inland fisheries increases from 0.25 hectares to 1.8 hectares.

    Many of the farmers before kept on producing root crops without a marketing contract hence the cost and return analysis is very minimal and even resulted to a negative return. Recently, the LGU of Calamba adopted the One-Town-One-Product “OTOP” program and encourages the farmers to plant cassava with a marketing tie-up with the San Miguel Corporation.

GOAL

    Ensure food security and stability thru maximum utilization of agricultural areas adopting the modern technologies of farming with farmers’ participation.
