o to capacitate the micro and small cooperatives in their compliance with the reportorial requirements in making enough leeway for those cooperatives to assimilate the rigors of standard during the infancy and development stage

o If ever there is a need for the CDA to provide direct technical assistance in the form of training , it should be confined within the expertise of CDA (IRR, RA 9520 and regulations, capacity building on the reportorial requirements and other related issuances

o cooperatives with assets not more than PhP 100,000 operating for not more than 2 years be exempt in the submission of reports. In lieu of the AFS, the FS may be certified by the Audit Committee

o consolidation of several reports into one to be called Cooperative Annual Progress Report for the purpose of compliance

o as far as practicable, micro cooperatives with assets below PhP 100,000 are exempted in the submission of Social Audit Report

o The financial infusion to small

o In order for the micro and small cooperatives not to be used by unscrupulous big business interest, they shall be prohibited to engage in the importation activities inasmuch as their financial capabilities and business tract records are yet to be established or proven

o Continuing review and

Vision 2020 outlines opportunity

for cooperatives to grow. To

pursue the 2020 vision, ICA

outlines five critical themes to

form part of the cooperative

sector’s agenda.

1. Elevate participation within

membership and governance to a

new level

2. Position cooperatives as builders of

sustainability

3. Build cooperative message and

secure the cooperative identity

4. Ensure supportive legal frameworks

for cooperatives growth

5. Secure reliable cooperative capital

while guaranteeing control

Is the Philippines prepared

for AEC 2015?

Former DBM Sec. Benjamin Diokno

Forget about the issue of

whether we are ready for the

ASEAN integration in 2015.

That should be your least

concern- the immediate

concern is how to develop

your organization from

within to harness your

productive capacity and

your purchasing power.

That’s amore manageable

problem

Our ASEAN

Community is to be

built on three

“pillars”: an

Economic

Community, a Socio-

Cultural Community,

and a Political-

Security Community

The region will become a single market and production base with five core elements namely: o free flow of goods; o free flow of services; o free flow of investment; o free flow of capital; and o free flow of skilled labor

Growing demand for food

safety certification

Good Agricultural Practices

Gap Certificate

Malaysia

Malaysia has developed a number of quality assurance programmes for primary producers with a number of voluntary farm certification schemes including the fresh fruit and vegetable sector certification (SALM); livestock certification (SALT); fisheries and aquaculture certification (SPLAM) and organic sector certification (SOM). The implementation of GAP standards in Malaysia started with the introduction of the Farm Accreditation Scheme of Malaysia (SALM) in 2002 by the Department of Agriculture (DOA). SALM is a programme designed to accredit farms that adopt Good agricultural practices, are operated in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, and yield quality products that are safe for consumption

Thailand In response to quality and safety requirements of both export and

domestic markets, the Government of Thailand has made significant steps towards the development, introduction and implementation of quality and safety "Q" certification programmes. A "Q" scheme has been developed to certify each step of food production safety with a "Q" logo used for all agricultural products (crops, livestock and fisheries). The Department of Agriculture grants several certificates including Q GAP, Q Packing house and Q Shop, among others. A Quality Management System: Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) for on-farm production was developed by modifying concepts of international standards with 3 levels of certification. Level 1 is pesticide-residue safe; Level 2 is pesticide-residue safe and pest free, and level 3 is pesticide-residue safe, pest free and with premium quality.

Japan • The Japan Good Agricultural Initiative (JGAI) was formed by a

group of Japanese producers in April 2005, to establish a system that ensures the safety of agricultural produce by establishing one common standard of good agricultural practices in Japan - The JGAP scheme is divided into four chapters:

• Food safety, including critical control points on fertilizers, seed, produce handling.

• Environmental considerations including water, soil, energy, neighboring sites

• Workers' welfare and safety including minimum wage and training

• Sales management including record keeping and traceability

The People's Republic of China - Green Food and China GAP certification

The Chinese Government has established a state agro product and food certification system in the food chain and has developed two GAP programmes to introduce certification in farming. These two GAP programmes are intended to stimulate agriculture, reduce the risks linked to food safety, coordinate various sectors of the supply chain of agricultural products and stimulate the development of international good agricultural practice standards and relevant certification and accreditation activities. The Ministry of Agriculture has developed the Green Food standard to develop good agricultural practices for the Chinese national market

Cheaper goods

Better quality

Wider choices

Other prohibited importations:

• Onions, potatoes, garlic and cabbages, except for seeding purposes; Republic Act (RA) no. 296

• Coffee (RA no. 2712)

• Used clothing and rags (RA no. 4653)

• Toy guns (Letter of Instruction no. 1264)

o the elimination of tariff should result in product price reduction throughout ASEAN o encouraging higher market competitions

o Help ASEAN countries products gain access to a regional market that incorporate many substantial advantages e.g population of more than 550 million, $1.5 trillion GDP, convenient transport systems, huge international trade worth $1.7 trillion a year and foreign investment of $ 60 Billion

o consumers will benefit from cheaper prices of goods o some of the processing factories will enjoy cheaper imported raw materials cutting their production costs oASEAN will be integrated and larger market that will be stronger and larger o the export and investment sectors will generate higher potential in the long run

National Reforms

• Basically, member-states must dismantle home-grown barriers that raise costs, reduce competition, and deter new investments. Unfortunately, we know that some ASEAN governments (the Philippines included) still protect favored national corporations and family dynasties from competition. Also, they continue to keep unproductive firms afloat by tolerating evasion of taxes, product regulations, and even bribery practices.

• Increased economies of scale and scope, heightened competition, higher productivity at the company level – all these reforms are needed to stimulate higher investment, generate more intra-regional trade, and encourage the emergence of globally competitive Southeast Asian enterprises. It is still problematic for the Philippines to attain AEC by 2015, but we must try hard and keep trying harder
