ROXAS CITY, Capiz, Oct. 1 (PIA6) – Five hundred seventy one field interviewers (FI) are deployed in Capiz to conduct the Registration System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA) from October 1 to November 7 this year.

During the period, about 161,288 households will be interviewed by the FI who will cover the province’s 473 barangays on a house to house basis to interview farmers and fishermen.

National Statistics Office (NSO) – Capiz Provincial Statistics Officer Engr. Frankie Dordas said that the FI underwent a training last month to brace themselves for the registration activity.

“Manual processing will follow at the NSO Provincial Office by December to January before the result will be submitted to NSO regional office for scanning,” noted Dordas.

The nationwide activity is being conducted through the collaboration of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and NSO.

RSBSA is a registration procedure which aims to list or register all farmers, farm laborers, and fishermen nationwide and gather some basic information about them, their household, farm, and farming/fishing activities.

It will essentially address the need for a comprehensive and systematic information system that will help the government identify or locate farmers, farm laborers and fishermen who are target beneficiaries of agriculture-related programs and services, said an RSBSA primer.

The database that will be generated from the registration activity will expectedly address the need for a comprehensive and systematic information system about the basic sectors in agriculture. (JCM/Alex A. Lumaque/PIA 6 Capiz)
