The Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support (CRFPS) program's Major Crop-based Block Farm Productivity Enhancement is a project for areas where Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) and Non-ARBs are individually or collectively engaged in the production of major crops such as rice, corn, and other crops such as bananas, pineapple, and vegetables. As a result, these crops have been recognized as key products. It is believed that the primary crop's production rate meets the demands of local and household consumption as well as surplus products.
