"Like most Asian countries, agricultural development plans and research programs in the Philippines have focused on irrigated areas. As a consequence, income disparity is widening and available technologies are inadequate or inappropriate for the vast rainfed areas.
As a development strategy, significant studies in developing useful rainfed agriculture technology cannot be underestimated. To focus on the rainfed farming technology suitable for small farms, the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) together with the Food and Fertilizer Technology Center for Asia and the Pacific (FFTC/ASPAC) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Region VI convened the International Seminar-Workshop on the Development of Rainfed Agriculture in the Philip- pines on July 11-15, 1983 at Iloilo City, the proceedings of which are detailed in this volume. Problems, potentials and advances in rainfed agriculture in the participating Asian countries were assessed to focus attention on its research and development needs.
It is hoped that these efforts will support the enthusiasm and growing interests of the national programs for a properly developed, efficient and progressive rainfed agriculture."
