An Impact Analysis of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform in the Second District of Camarines Sur

As a developing country, the Philippines faces the challenge of alleviating poverty, especially in rural communities where farming is the primary source of income. Poverty in the Philippines is closely linked to the lack of access to agricultural land. In 2020, the government recognized this economic concern, considering rice as a staple food for most Filipinos and serves as the backbone of the country’s economy. That year, rice production contributed 20% of the total agricultural value of the Philippines through the efforts of approximately 2.1 million farmers (Agway Chemicals Corporation, 2020).
