Agrarian Structure in the
Philippines
Kinds of Farm Operations

1. Homestead or Family Farm- is generally understood


to be a farm owned and/or operated by a family; it is
sometimes considered to be an estate passed down
by inheritance.
2. Tenant Farming/Sharecropping- Sharecropping is
when a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in
return for a share of the crops produced on the land.
Sharecropping has a long history and there are a wide
range of different situations and types of agreements
that have used a form of the system.
Sharecropping agreements can, however, be
made fairly, as a form of tenant farming or
sharefarming that has a variable rental
payment, paid in arrears. There are three
different types of contracts.
• Workers can rent plots of land from the owner
for a certain sum and keep the whole crop.
• Workers work on the land and earn a fixed wage
from the land owner but keep some of the crop.
• No money changes hands but the worker and
land owner each keep a share of the crop.
3. Collective Farming
• A small group of farming or herding families
living together on a jointly managed piece of
land is one of the most common living
arrangements in all of human history as this has
co-existed and competed with more
individualistic forms of ownership as well as
state ownership since the beginnings of
agriculture. Private ownership came to
predominate in much of the Western world and
is therefore better studied
Major Types of Farming/Agriculture
1.Extensive Farming-When more land is brought under cultivation in order to
increase output.
2.Intensive Farming-Under such farming, in contrast to extensive farming, more
labour and capital is used in the same plot of land to get more yields.
3.Specialized Farming-The farm from which 50% or more income is derived from
a single enterprise viz. crops, livestock, dairy, poultry, etc., such farm is called
specialized farm and farming is called specialized farming.
4.Mixed Farming/Crop Production- Mixed farming is one where crop production
is combined with the rearing of the livestock
5.Diversified Farming - one that has several production enterprises or sources of
income. But no source of income should produce more than 49% of income.
6. Dry Farming-Dry farming is done in areas having average annual rainfall of < 50
cm.

Practices in their own way & managers &
organizers of their farm business. Entire farm
