Fuente: WIPO "organic farming" Compared to many Asian countries, the organic agriculture sector in the Philippines is still in its infancy stage. Production of organic agricultural products remains barely stagnant with a meagre less than one percent of the country's agricultural land devoted to organic farming. International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) and Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) estimated that in 2004 only 3,500 hectares in the country were under organic management. These estimates represent a more than three-fold increase in production areas certified under organic management. Most recent estimates from the IFOAM and FiBL indicate that in 2006, there were 35,000 organic farms in the country with cumulative production area certified under organic management of 14,140 hectares or 0.12 percent of the total Philippine agricultural land area. It must be noted, however, that the available data only capture farms that have been third-party certified and do not reflect the broader population of the organic farming practitioners who have not applied for certification. Most common organic agricultural products mainly for domestic consumption include well milled white rice and semi-polished red and brown rice, vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices and some livestock and poultry. In 2009, the Organic Certification Center of the Philippines (OCCP) estimated the rice production area at 7,066 hectares with production volume of 3.8 million kilograms. Production area for organic fruits and vegetables which include papaya, banana, mangoes and watermelons was estimated at 119 hectares with production volume of 660,770 kilograms. i On the other hand, organic agricultural products mainly for export to the United States, Japan and Western Europe, include muscovado sugar, bananas and coconut oil. Again the OCCP estimated in 2009 that the total production area devoted to organic sugar was 122 hectares with production volume of 10,000 kilograms. Area planted with certified organic banana was estimated at 509 hectares and for organic coconut at 64 hectares.
