Abstract

Reynaldo M. Lantin informs about some industrialization and tourism as strategies adopted in Philippines for promoting agricultural and fisheries mechanization. The Philippine government has treated agricultural mechanization with an intense attitude and has let mechanization proceed under its own course to be influenced only by market forces. It has supported institutions and programs, such as the Agricultural Mechanization Development Program (AMDP), the Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (AMTEC), and the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech), to achieve these objectives. The government has also supported machinery design and mechanization research projects in agricultural state colleges and universities along with inventions and creative science projects related to agriculture and fisheries.
