It has been recognized that the crops sector dominates Philippine agriculture and could serve as a logical and potent springboard for the country to achieve global competitiveness. Among the major agricultural crops are rice, corn, sugarcane, coconut, fruits such as banana and mango, vegetables, and fiber such as abaca, root crops. The impact of globalization on Philippine agriculture is discussed. The Philippine Government has recommended activities and policies to modernize agriculture by the AFMA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=banana\" rel=\"tag\">banana<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=coconut\" rel=\"tag\">coconut<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=corn\" rel=\"tag\">corn<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=crops\" rel=\"tag\">crops<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=global-competitiveness\" rel=\"tag\">global competitiveness<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=mango\" rel=\"tag\">mango.<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=modernization\" rel=\"tag\">modernization<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=philippine-agriculture\" rel=\"tag\">Philippine agriculture<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=production\" rel=\"tag\">production<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=rice\" rel=\"tag\">rice<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=sugarcane\" rel=\"tag\">sugarcane<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=world-trade\" rel=\"tag\">world trade<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\"  class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TNP-1999-21_3_Critical-Issues-and-Strategies-for-the-Development-of-Major-Agricultural-Crops.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:1090px\" aria-label=\"Embed of TNP 1999 (21)_3_Critical Issues and Strategies for the Development of Major Agricultural Crops.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-1c98dcc0-03de-4562-ba50-9ca4a946420a\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TNP-1999-21_3_Critical-Issues-and-Strategies-for-the-Development-of-Major-Agricultural-Crops.pdf\">TNP 1999 (21)_3_Critical Issues and Strategies for the Development of Major Agricultural Crops<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TNP-1999-21_3_Critical-Issues-and-Strategies-for-the-Development-of-Major-Agricultural-Crops.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-1c98dcc0-03de-4562-ba50-9ca4a946420a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William D.
