OBJECTIVES OF CARP

What is CARP?

CARP, or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, is the redistribution of public and
private agricultural lands to farmers and farm workers who are landless, irrespective of tenurial
arrangement. CARPs vision is to have an equitable land ownership with empowered agrarian
reform beneficiaries who can effectively manage their economic and social development to have
a better quality of life.

One of the major programs of CARP is Land Tenure Improvement, which seeks to hasten
distribution of lands to landless farmers. Similarly, the Department offers Support Services to
the beneficiaries such as infrastructure facilities, marketing assistance program, credit
assistance program, and technical support programs. Furthermore, the department seeks to
facilitate, resolve cases and deliver Agrarian Justice.

The legal basis for CARP is the Republic Act No. 6657 otherwise known as Comprehensive
Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) signed by President Corazon C. Aquino on June 10, 1988. It is an
act which aims to promote social justice and industrialization, providing the mechanism for its
implementation, and for other purposes.

There are many objectives of agrarian reform. Majority of the laws are formulated during
periods of unrest. As a result, the reforms are not formulated with much precision. The
objectives of the agrarian reform are flexible due to lack of precision.
The objectives of agrarian reform are discussed below.

Objectives of agrarian reform- political:

The main objective was to put an end to conflicts pertaining to land ownership. Aim to
bring about harmony between the rural people and the urban residents is also called for.

Therefore, bringing stability in the political set up of the country is also regarded as one
of the objectives of agrarian reform. The political set up of the country plays an
important role. If there is political unrest, leaders would usually concentrate on resolving
the crisis, instead of dealing with land conflicts.

Objectives of agrarian reform-social:

The socio agrarian reform include bringing about equality in terms of opportunities,
income as well as wealth. This leads to a dispute between the people who own land and
those who do not possess land. The dispute cannot be avoided unless some steps are
taken for the betterment of the rural population.

Objectives of agrarian reform- economic:

The economic objectives can be listed below:

Enhancing agricultural production


Enhancing agricultural productivity
Bettering capital formation
Providing employment to more agricultural workers
Enhancing demand for raw materials and services
Improving balance of payments by facilitating export activities
Trying to increase production at home so that imports do not have to be relied
upon.
Enhancing cooperation as well as regulation between agricultural sector and the
non agricultural sector.

The aims and objectives have become more and more complex with every passing day.
In earlier times, more stress was laid on equality among the people. However, things
have changed a lot these days. The focus has shifted to collectivization and rights to
use land. If one seeks economic objectives, the production ought to be encouraged. In
the event, there is tendency of acquiring bigger farming units. A high income level
indicates that a certain development level has been achieved already.

CONCLUSION

What we can gather from the above scenario is that the objectives cannot become
stagnant or static. The objectives change or are rather updated as per requirements.
Just as the reforms offer flexibility so do the objectives in an effort to restore equilibrium
whenever necessary.
