Agrarian Reform is the redistribution of agricultural lands to farmers and regular farm workers who are landless, irrespective of tenurial arrangement. It includes the provision of support services such as credit extension, irrigation, roads and bridges, marketing fascilities, human resource and institutional development.

The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) was instituted to promote social justice and industrialization and provide mechanisms for its implementation.

Agraryo Trade Fair was first organized in 2002 as a part of CARP’s celebration of its anniversary and a part of celebrating the Philippine Independence day. The Department of Agrarian Reform or DAR exists for two (2) reasons; First, provision of land and Second, provision of support services.

The lands were already provided and distributed among the people, now, the farmers are planting seeds and able to harvest from it. The farmers where able to produce rice, fruits and vegetables from these lands, each village produces a certain product and DAR is there to assist them continuously through training, providing new technology, packaging, BFAD accreditation and so on.
