Assessments of project impacts indicate increases in real household income, increase in value of marketed output, reduction in input and output hauling costs, increases in farmed area, increase in production volume, reduction in travel time from farm to market, increase in traffic density, and increase in school attendance. Additional outcomes are being realized via the institutionalization and acceptance of provincial commodity investment plans as a technically-based planning platform for convergence between programs of the DA, LGUs, and other national government agencies.

Results of the household survey in the conduct of RAEB for FMRs showed that the beneficiaries gained about 15.20% increase in annual household real income. Of the 298 persons who responded to the household survey, 157 indicated they have achieved higher income due to benefits they are gaining from the presence / use of the Comments: concreted / rehabilitated FMRs. For enterprise beneficiaries, business plan projections indicate at least a 30% increase in incomes. The estimate for this indicator will be updated upon completion of the MTR survey (near completion) when a more representative sample of sub-projects will be captured in the assessment of project impacts. 8/3/2019 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Philippine Rural Development Project (P132317) IN00721451 ►Increased income of beneficiaries involved in enterprise development (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 27.00 27.00 30.00 Date 31-Dec-2014 14-Dec-2018 19-Jun-2019 31-May-2021 The results are based on a small sub-set of enterprises that have been assessed for income increases. 27 percent income increase is derived from the collective assessment of the "Cassava Granules Marketing Enterprise" and the "Oriental Mindoro Calamansi Trading Center Enterprise". Since the previous mission, 4 additional enterprise sub-projects have undergone the RAEB assessment. Assessment of each sub-project under the RAEB revealed the following: (i) beneficiaries of the the "Farm Machinery Services Enterprise in Castillejos, Zambales" earned PhP 62,929 from rental fees of the tractors; (ii) beneficiaries of the "PAO Producers Cooperative in Lupao, Nueva Ecija" have Comments: each earned PhP 2,500 to PhP 3,000 per pig over a period of 5 months; (iii) beneficiaries of the "Sapang Multi-purpose Cooperative in Moncada, Tarlac" have established a processing center which is expected to generate higher incomes for farmers; and (iv) beneficiaries of the "Farm Mechanization Service Facility in Ilocos Norte" demonstrated a net income per hectare at PhP 2,420, in addition to the beneficiaries enjoying PhP 500 discount in rental fee per hectare. The actual value for the indicator will be updated upon completion of the MTR survey (near completion).
