Abstract/Summary
The study compared the economic productivity and social effectivity of an agricultural project sponsored by the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers conducted in two separate barangays. The first barangay was assisted by extension work, while the second barangay was unassisted. Results showed that the farmer-recipients of the agricultural projects who were assisted by extension work were more economically productive and socially effective compared to the other recipients of the same project who were unassisted by extension work. The farm visits rendered by the extensionists contributed to their increased in production and income that consequently led to the increase of their material possessions in the form of farm tools, viand, additional clothes, more friends. It is concluded that the role of extension work is crucial in any development program addressing the rural farmers. Its importance is especially felt in foreign-sponsored programs, which need extension support to liaise it to the local recipients. Left on their own, the foreign-sponsored projects will not be as easily accepted, supported, and sustained.
