DA-DILG JOINT MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 002 S. 2018 *

 

1.0 BACKGROUND

Article V, Section 19 of the Republic Act No. 10601, otherwise known as the "Agricultural and Fisheries Mechanization Law" states that all owners of agricultural and fishery machinery and equipment must register these with the agriculture offices of municipal and city government units. Meanwhile, the agriculture offices of the Local Government Units shall establish and maintain a registry of agricultural and fishery machinery at the municipal, city and provincial levels. The Department of Agriculture-Regional Agricultural Engineering Division shall maintain a registry of agricultural and fishery machinery at the regional offices, whereas the Bureau of Agricultural and Fisheries Engineering shall maintain a national database of all registered agricultural and fishery machinery. Each office shall ensure that these registries and databases are available through the internet. The secretary shall promulgate national guidelines and procedures for the registration of agricultural and fisheries machinery by the Local Government Units, including the collection of registration fees in accordance with the Local Government Code.

Likewise, Section 19, Rule 19.3 of the said law states that "the Department of Agriculture, in coordination and consultation with the Department of Finance and the Department of the Interior and Local Government and through a consultative process under the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries-Agriculture and Fishery Mechanization Committee, shall promulgate national guidelines and procedures for the registration and collection of registration fees of agricultural and fisheries machinery in accordance with Section 19 of the Republic Act No. 10601 and Republic Act No. 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991."

In compliance with these provisions, the Agriculture and Fishery Mechanization Committee had created a Task Force on the Registration of Agricultural and Fisheries Machinery and Equipment. It is composed of representatives from the concerned government and private entities who shall formulate the said guidelines. These guidelines will form part of the implementation of the National Agricultural and Fisheries Mechanization Program. It shall also serve as guide in the planning, programing, and monitoring of the Department of Agriculture's mechanization programs/projects.

2.0 PURPOSE
