A participant shared during a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) held in Lipa City, Batangas, on March 26, 2025 that the Philippine National Standard (PNS) Code of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) has helped improve their farm operations.
The DA-BAFS Technical Services Division (TSD) successfully conducted the FGD with 14 PhilGAP-certified farms in CALABARZON, alongside representatives from the DA Regional Field Office-Regulatory Division and the DA-Lipa Agricultural Research and Experimental Station (LARES). The FGD explored farmers’ perceptions, opinions, and experiences in complying with the PNS Code of GAP.
This activity is part of the DA-BAFS study titled “Perceptions on the Contribution of the Philippine National Standard (PNS) Code of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) to PhilGAP-Certified Farms.”
