Abstract

In the Philippines agriculture is the leading powerhouse of the country’s economy. However, the agricultural sector declines in the passing years due to financial and farming knowledge inadequacies. Relative to this, Farmers’ Organizations (FOs) were organized to reinforce the growing problems in the operations of the farmers in terms of fund and farming techniques. In order to assess and improve the scheme of Farmer’ Organization the attributes of the farmers in terms of membership in an organization and training, and credit access were understood. The study utilized a descriptive-survey method research design to obtain data regarding the attributes of the farmers’ membership in an organization. The respondents of the study are the 324 smallholder farmers of the Municipality of Victoria, Province of Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. The results of the study shows that majority of the farmers are affiliated with the Farmers association as evidenced in the 313 out 317 farmers who are confirmed members of the organization. There are 26 farmers who joined cooperatives and 17 farmers are members of other organization. Most of the farmers, 100 out of 317 respondents joined the organization to obtain assistance and supplies for farming while the remaining joins the social groups non-related to agriculture. On the other hand, farmers tend to join the FOs because of the seminars which the group provided as justified by the result of 259 farmer respondents that usually participates in the agriculture-related seminars. Their primary reasons in joining the organizations are to acquire assistance, obtain supplies or inputs and to have access to technical training.
