In the lush fields and vibrant fishing grounds of Bukidnon, farmers and fishers are harvesting the fruits of their hard work. Their efforts have earned Bukidnon the largest share in the country’s total value of production for agriculture and fisheries in 2024.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, Bukidnon contributed 6.2 percent to the nation’s total agricultural and fisheries output this year. This makes the province the leading producer in these vital sectors across the Philippines.
Bukidnon’s success reflects its rich natural resources and the dedication of its farming and fishing communities. The province’s fertile soil supports diverse crops such as corn, rice, and various fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, inland fisheries provide an important source of livelihood and nutrition for many residents.
The strong performance of Bukidnon’s agriculture and fisheries sectors is a key driver of local and national economic growth. It also highlights the importance of supporting rural producers with access to modern technology, training, and market opportunities.
As the country continues to face challenges like climate change and shifting market demands, provinces like Bukidnon show how sustainable and productive farming and fishing can help secure food supply and improve rural livelihoods.
This achievement invites reflection on the value of investing in agriculture and fisheries as pillars of development. Supporting our farmers and fishers today ensures a stronger, more resilient Philippines tomorrow.
