Organic Agriculture Program Mimaropa
Ok sa OA๐๐ป Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems, and people.
It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic Agriculture combines tradition, innovation, and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and good quality of life for all involved.

Ipinapaabot ng Department of Agriculture โ MIMAROPA ang taos-pusong pagbati sa Samahan ng Organikong Magsasaka ng Kanlurang Mindoro (SOMKAM) mula sa San Jose, Occidental Mindoro sa matagumpay na pagkamit ng Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) Certification ng limang (5) pangunahing kasaping magsasaka. Ang nasabing sertipikasyon ay may bisa mula Hunyo 20, 2025 hanggang Hunyo 19, 2028.
Ang PGS ay isang locally focused quality assurance system na nagsisiguro ng pagiging organic ng mga produkto at magsasaka sa pamamagitan ng community-based assessment at tiwala. Ang pagkilalang ito ay patunay ng masigasig na pagtupad ng SOMKAM sa mga alituntunin ng Organic Agriculture, gayundin sa pagsunod sa itinakdang Philippine National Standards (PNS) at mga teknikal na regulasyon.
Sa tagumpay na ito, ang SOMKAM ay kinikilalang ikalawang PGS-certified group sa lalawigan ng Occidental Mindoro at ika-anim sa buong rehiyon ng MIMAROPA na nabigyan ng sertipikasyon ng Department of Agriculture โ Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (BAFS).
Narito ang mga pangunahing magsasaka na matagumpay na nakasunod sa mga kinakailangang proseso para sa pagkakaloob ng sertipikasyon:
1. Gng. Roselle C. Labindao โ Tita Rose Farm
2. Gng. Wilhelmina M. Enriquez โ EL Farm
3. Gng. Josephine S. Gamboa โ RAK Farm
4. G. Alfonso E. Salibio โ ALโs Farm
5. Gng. Edna C. Magluyan โ Ednaโs Farm
Ang tagumpay na ito ay hindi lamang para sa SOMKAM, kundi para sa buong lalawigan at rehiyonโisang mahalagang hakbang sa patuloy na pagsusulong ng organic agriculture bilang isang malinis, ligtas, at napapanatiling sistema ng pagsasaka sa Pilipinas.

The Department of Agriculture โ Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (DA-BAFS) conducted the first surveillance of the Aborlan PGS Group on July 7โ10, 2025 to verify the groupโs continued compliance with accreditation requirements as an Organic Certifying Body (OCB).
As part of the activity, the group was also assessed for its application to expand its certification scope to cover Mushroom Production, in addition to its existing approved scopes. The assessment included an office-based review of records and procedures, as well as witnessing of peer review activities to determine if the group remains competent, impartial, and consistent in implementing its Manual of Operations.
The DA-BAFS Assessment Team was assisted by technical personnel from the DA Regional Field Office and representatives from the Municipal Government of Aborlan, who provided support during the assessment.
This combined surveillance and expansion assessment is part of the continuing efforts to strengthen the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) implementation in Palawan. The results will determine whether the Aborlan PGS Group maintains its accreditation and whether its request to certify mushroom production will be approved.
