Title StatementSocio-economic survey of cigar-filler tobacco growers in some barrios of Isabela and Cagayan
General NoteCollege, Laguna: PTA-SEARCA-UPLB Integrated Tobacco Research Training and Information Program, n.d
Summary, Etc.Randomized sample barrios from Isabela and Cagayan were surveyed to establish benchmark information on the socioeconomic status of tobacco growers in the region, and to identify probable socioeconomic constraints in the adoption of newly-developed technology. Majority of the farmers of both provinces averaged five years of schooling and owned the lots on which their homes stood. About 70% had been growing tobacco for 15 years or more and were between 35 to 50 years old. Isabela farmers had more access to transportation and market facilities, and had a P 600.00 yearly income advantage over the Cagayan farmers. A negative attitude towards most government agencies was observed. Indiscriminate and arrogant handling of tobacco products, strict implementation of quality standards which were termed unreasonable because of inappropriate technology transfer and haphazard grading of tobacco were among several constraints pointed out by the farmers. Lack of interest and perennial absence of extension agents and intermittent overflow of rivers were also pointed out. Farming practices they would most likely adopt included the use of a high yielding variety and the application of insecticides and fertilizers
