The RSBSA refers to the electronic compilation of basic information of farmers, farm workers, fishers, and other target agriculture-related beneficiaries of the DA. Their data are being encoded in the Farmers and Fishery Registry System which is managed and maintained by the DA-Central Office.
Under the General Appropriations Act (GAA), it emphasizes that the national programs of the DA will prioritize areas where the majority of the RSBSA-registered small farmers and fisherfolks are located.
To be able to register in the RSBSA, the eligible individual must be at least 18 years old at the time of registration, included under the agri-basic sector, and is a bona fide Filipino citizen.
