Status of CARP implementation
As the lead agency, DAR is responsible for three interrelated components: (i)
Land Acquisition and Development (LAD), (ii) Agrarian Justice Delivery (AJD),
and (iii) Support Services for Program Beneficiaries Development (PBD).
On Land Acquisition and Distribution (LAD)
Table 5 shows that DAR has distributed 90 percent of its LAD working scope after
30 years of CARP. As of 1 January 2018, however, the LAD balance is 561,131
hectares, of which, 520,674 hectares (93 percent) are private agricultural lands.
Of these private lands, 70 percent are under compulsory acquisition (Table 5).
Adding the landholdings without NOCs and those with pending cases, the actual
LAD balance should be around 760,000 ha.2
