Mountain Province is a landlocked province in Cordillera. It is bounded in the North by Kalinga and Abra, east by Isabela and Ifugao, south by Ifugao and Benguet, and west by Ilocos Sur. It has a total land area of 2,157.38 square kilometers. It is known for its hilly land and deep narrow gorge with steep sides. Stones are visible along river banks, waterfalls, narrow valleys, and caves. The angle of elevation went as high as 2,714 meters to the top of the mountain.
The province is a lone district comprised of 10 municipalities and 144 barangays. The municipalities are Sadanga, Natonin, Paracelis, Barlig, Bontoc, Besao, Sagada, Bauko, Tadian, and Sabangan. Its capital is Bontoc.Mountain Province produced 10,712.6 MT of crops during first semester of 2018 This was 4.6% of the regional crop production. The province’s crop production increased by 2.5% (259.0 MT) compared to the 10,453.6 MT during the first semester of 2017.
The top three crops produced by the province were white potato with 28.9% or 3,101.1 MT, followed by cabbage with 24.4% or 2,610.6 MT, and carrots with 8.3% or 893.1 MT.
Mountain Province was the second top producer of the region for the following crops: white potato with 9.8% of the regional white potato production, cabbage with 6.25% and carrots with 4.6% (PSA, 2018).
Paracelis and Bauko are the two top commercial producers of crops in the province. Bauko produces 47,796 MT of highland vegetables and Paracelis produces 33,109 MT of rice and corn. A total 80,905 MT of major crops can be produced by the two municipalities and rest were produced by the eight municipalities.
The cool climate in the western municipalities of the province is an advantage in the production of highland vegetables over the lowland provinces. In like manner, Paracelis is also appropriate in the production of corn that supplies feed mills in Cagayan Valley.
For highland vegetable production in Bauko and some parts of the western municipalities, the market outlets are Baguio City and Santiago City in Isabela. The inputs for commercial fertilizers and pesticides, likewise, are imported from these markets outlets for those who can afford. But for some farmers, the needed inputs are provided by middlemen who buy the produce during harvest and subtracting the cost of fertilizers and other incidental expenses. This scheme makes the farmer vulnerable to the dictates of middlemen.
For rice and corn produced in Paracelis, these are marketed to Santiago City since the city is the nearest market outlet in the municipality. The same pattern is observed for some farmers who depend on the middlemen for the cost of fertilizers and paying them from the produce afterwards.
These are the factors that despite the province’s comparative advantages as a vegetable producer due to its cool climate, most farmers remain poor and live at subsistence level.
On livestock production(which include cattle, swine, and free-range chicken), Paracelis produced the highest number of 2,199.12 MT of livestock followed by Bontoc (1,246.17 MT) and the least producer is Barlig (132.82 MT). Livestock are marketed within the province and outside like Buguias and Mankayan in Benguet. Minimal fish production is observed in all the municipalities considering that these areas are raised in rice paddies, small number of fishponds and along rivers or streams. According to the locals, fish production is an old farming practice in the province mainly for family consumption. However, during that time, fisherfolk don’t follow specific technologies for their fish culture, thus production was low. Through the initiatives of DA-BFAR and other partners in implementation, they were able to access new technologies for fish production and were able to improve their harvests.
To date, the province has a total of 3,816 registered fisherfolk engaged in aquaculture, inland capture, post-harvest and marketing, and other fishery related activities. Based on the latest inventory of BFAR CAR, Mt. Province has 20 hectares productive areas for fish pond and 0.13 hectares for fish cage. Fishery programs and projects being implemented in the province include fish culture in ponds, cages, rice paddies, and tanks, and fish hatcheries within the province support the production of fingerlings for grow out.
Moreover, several communal bodies of water are found suited for stocking of fingerlings which are lakes, rivers, and streams. The said bodies of water have an area of 3,000.585 hectares and with approximately 39.545 metric tons of total production if developed. Interventions for sustainable inland fisheries include stock enhancement and assessment, provision of environment friendly fishing gears among others.
Major aquaculture commodities are tilapia, catfish, carp, freshwater prawn and loach while species such as tilapia, carps, eel, loach, freshwater prawn, ayungin and others common in inland capture fisheries. In 2019, the province had a total production of 15.4MT from aquaculture and inland fisheries respectively. Considering the 26kg/annum per capita consumption of fish and the total number of fish eating population, the fish sufficiency level had only reached 0.48%. Thus, the province depends on outside sources to provide for the remaining fish requirement (PSA, 2019).Most of the provinces in CAR has decreased its poverty rate (poverty incidence among families). Mountain Province in 2015 has 33.1% rate of its poverty incidence among families. Now, in the latest data of PSA 2018, the province has only 17.2%. However, in CAR, 17.2% is the highest poverty incidence among families.
Mountain Province had the highest poverty threshold among the provinces in CAR with Php 27,726 per capita per annum for 2018 (this poverty threshold is above the CAR poverty threshold by 11.5%). This translates to a minimum of Php 11,552 monthly take home income for a family of five to meet both basic food and non-food needs and be considered not poor in 2018.
Mountain Province recorded a percentage change of 13.0 frmo Php 24,536 per capita per annum in 2015.
The province also had the highest food threshold with Php 19,373 per capita per annum.For 2019, Mountain Province was included in the DA-SAAD Program. It has a total budget of Php 47,260,000 for 15 projects implemented benefiting 860 individuals and four (4) groups.

A total of Php15,000,000.00 funding was provided for the implementation of the SAAD Program in Mt. Provinces. Identification of potential beneficiaries was based on the fisherfolk registration (FishR) system of BFAR. They underwent social preparation activities to identify their fishery related needs and preferred fishery livelihood projects. Selected beneficiaries were grouped according to livelihood projects and were provided with the necessary capacity building activities. Distribution of aqua inputs followed upon completion of the pond preparation protocols required.
In 2019, a total of 2,569 individual fisherfolk received various livelihood projects such as tilapia culture in ponds and rice paddies. Capture fishers received a set of fishing gears inclusive of fish traps, gillnets and cast nets.
