However, one of the best available datasets which
captures the current situation is the one collected by MASIPAG (Magsasaka at
Sayantipiko Para sa Ikauunlad ng Agham Pang-agrikultura) Foundation, which is an
NGO leading the organic adoption movement. According to their study, in 1999, there
were 1,897 producers who had fully adopted organic farming under the guidance of the
MASIPAG Foundation, and 11,052 producers who partially adopted. The corresponding
areas covered by full and partial adoption were 1,754 and 15,411 hectares, respectively
(MASIPAG, 2001).
