Section 1. Declaration of Policy
It is the policy of the State to pursue
sustainable development for poverty
reduction, food security, biodiversity
conservation, and climate change
mitigation and adaptation.

9. NGP
Section 2. Coverage
The National Greening Program shall
plant some 1.5 Billion trees covering about
1.5 Million hectares for a period of six (6)
years from 2011 to 2016, in the following
lands in the public domain…

11. NGP FRAMEWORK
Species
Species selection depends on objectives;
preferably indigenous/native/endemic species;
for the production zone: Species- Site- Market Matching
for the protection zone: Indigenous/native/endemic species
Planting Sites
Coastal Lowland Upland
Ecosystem Ecosystem Ecosystem

12. NGP RATIONALE: The Areas
At an average of 30,000
hectares reforestation
accomplishment per year…
….it would take 280 years
to reforest/rehabilitate 8 M
hectares of unproductive,
open, denuded or degraded
areas

20. Timber Local demand based on
Master Plan for Forestry
Development (2003)
In 2010 – 3.73 M cu.m.
In 2021 – 5.0 M cu.m.
Wood and Paper Products
(USD 900M)
Need 750,000 hectares to be
sustainable
Higher consumption of wood
as construction material
instead of steel & concrete in
the next decade in the light
of climate change (Philippines
Forestry Outlook Study, 2009)
20

21. Fuelwood
One of the major drivers of
deforestation
Philippine Forestry Outlook Study
(2009) estimated local demand is 35.46
M cu.m./year
Bello et.al (2000), around 10% of this
volume comes from forestlands
Establishment of fuelwood plantations
answer the need of the populace and
constitutes as source of livelihood
Forests as renewal sources of energy:
Fuelwood plantation will become highly
Energy derived from wood is estimated
profitable because of the low supply of fuelwood to represent more than 1 100 M Tones
(Philippine Forestry Outlook Study (2009)
of oil equivalent each year.
Wood Energy is as important as all the other
renewable energy sources put together, FAO,
State of the Forests 2012.
21

22. Bamboo and Rattan
Executive Order 879 mandates the use MPFD projected demand for
of bamboo as planting material, at least rattan for furniture by 2015 at 61.9
20% of reforestation species annually million lineal meters (low end) to
79.48 million lineal meters (high
end)
22

23. Industrial Crops
Coffee Cacao
Coffee ranks as 2nd most consumed Local demand for cacao exceeds
beverage in the world production
Local demand per DA for coffee beans In 2005, local consumption
is pegged at 64,000Metric tons, valued reached 50,000 metric tons
at PhP 2.5Billion
23

24. Rubber Pamplona (2012)
By year 2020, the
demand for natural
rubber (NR) is expected
to increase to 16.4 M
metric tons (around
30%) from the current
demand of 11.3 MMT
Production of NR is
estimated at 14.3 MMT,
leaving a short fall of 2.1
MMT
Rubber is a crop with high potential income above the
poverty threshold level
A well manage 1-ha rubber plantation can derive an annual
income from P79,200 to P231,300 per year.

25. Fruit Bearing Trees
Assorted fruit trees considered to produce lucrative
returns for the farmers as well as the industry are
being recommended
