- 1. Crop Biotechnology in the Philippines – Potent Tool to Help Improve Food Security Randy A. Hautea, ISAAA November 15, 2011 Kathmandu, Nepal
- 2. Global hunger declining but still unacceptably high, FAO 2011 A Food Insecure World
- 3. Food Insecurity in the Philippines
- 4. Dimensions of Food Security Food Availability Access Stability Slide: Adapted from Tan Siang Hee, 2011 Utilization
- 6. Greenhouse Gas Emissions 17.7 b Kg less CO2 in 2009 Equal to removing 7.8 m cars for a year Pesticide Reduction 393 m Kg (-8.7%) reduction since 2009 Economic Return $ 10.8 B net farmer income in 2009 $ 64.7 B net farmer income 1996-2009 Productivity 83.5 M MT Soy, 130.5 M MT Corn (2006-2010) GLOBAL BENEFITS ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL Sustainable, profitable and productive agriculture continues to be boosted by the contribution of biotech crops.

- 7. Biotechnology: Priority Field for Country’s Development • Agriculture • Environment • Alternative Energy • Health and Health Products
- 8. Philippine Biotechnology Policy Initiatives/Support • 1979- President Ferdinand Marcos. Creation of the National Institutes of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology at the University of the Philippines Los Banos- Became the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology • 1990- President Corazon Aquino. Executive Order No. 430- Establishment of the National Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines • 1996- President Fidel Ramos. National Agricultural Biotechnology Program and Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act
- 9. Philippine Biotechnology Policy Initiatives/Support • 2000- President Joseph Estrada. National Policy Statement of Support for Agricultural Biotechnology • 2001- President Gloria Arroyo. National Policy on the Safe and Responsible Use of Biotechnology. • 2006- President Gloria Arroyo. Executive Order No. 514- National Biosafety Framework
- 10. Biosafety Regulatory Framework • The National Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines (October 15, 1990) - created thru Executive Order No. 430. NCBP formulates, reviews and amends national policy on biosafety and formulate guidelines on the conduct of activities on genetic engineering. • Department of Agriculture Administrative Order No. 8 (2002) - Basis for the commercial release of biotech crops. • Executive Order 514 (March 17, 2006) - issued to further strengthen the NCBP and establish the National Biosafety Framework.
- 11. Strengthening National Capacity on Biotechnology • Capacity building for regulatory and scientific bodies • Extensive multi-media and multi- stakeholder outreach and communications – farming groups, national and local government agencies, policymakers, consumers, general public, media, scientific community, food industry, students, others • Capacity building for communicating biotechnology – risk communication, information resource centers • Network and coalition building
- 12. Philippine Crop Biotechnology • 1st country in SEAsia to establish a regulatory system for GM/biotech crops • The sole country in SEAsia currently commercializing GM/biotech crops • The only Asian country allowing for propagation of biotech feed/food crop • 1st country in SEAsia to be included in the top 15 biotech mega-countries • National biosafety policy considered as model framework to other countries
- 13. GM/Biotech Events Approved in the Philippines (BPI, 2011) • Single Trait for Propagation – Mon 810 - 2002/2007 – NK 603 – 2005/2010 – Bt 11 – 2005/2010 – GA 21 – 2009 – Mon 89034 – 2010 • Combined trait products for corn propagation – Mon 810 x NK 603 – 2005/2010 – Bt 11 x GA 21 – 2010 – Mon 89034 x NK603 - 2011 • For direct food, feed use and processing – >50 Approvals for crops such as alfalfa, corn, cotton, sugar beet, potato, soybean and squash Source: www.biotech.da.gov.ph

- 18. Lower production costs • 60 percent reduction in pesticide use (Yorobe and Quicoy, 2006) • Lower labor costs associated with weeding and spraying Higher yields harvested • Projected to have a yield advantage of up to 41 percent over non-Bt corn (Gonzales, 2002, as cited by Yorobe and Quicoy, 2006) • Bt corn has 34 percent more harvests than non-Bt (Yorobe and Quicoy, 2006) Safer environment • No negative effect on insect population in Bt corn fields (Reyes, 2004) • Increase in the population of beneficial insects (i.e. beetles, spiders, ladybugs) (Javier et al., 2004, as cited by James, 2009) Crop Biotech Benefits to the Philippines
