The DA–BAFS invites you to read the findings of a mixed-methods study on the perceptions of Philippine Good Agricultural Practices (PhilGAP)-certified farms regarding the adoption and implementation of the Philippine National Standard (PNS) Code of GAP. The insights shared here aim to support ongoing efforts to enhance programs, policies, and strategies for wider adoption of the PNS Code of GAP, and to improve farm productivity, quality, and compliance.
The Technical Bulletin presents the survey responses from 130 PhilGAP-certified farms and focus group discussion feedback from 152 participants, including representatives from PhilGAP-certified farms, DA Regional Field Offices (RFOs), and Local Government Units (LGUs), collected from August 2023 to April 2025.
