Abstract
The Agri-Development Board of Davao City (ADB-DC) is an organization that is primarily concerned with the competitiveness of agriculture sector towards the end of achieving food security. The ADB-DC supported Organic Agriculture (OA). When the City Council proposed the institutionalization of organic agriculture in the City, the ADB delineated its concerns on the ordinance institutionalizing organic agriculture in Davao City. The ADB as an agriculture-advocacy board highlighted the concerns such as the attention to be provided to both small and medium agric-goods producers, the market support for the products, the non-organic farmers, the budget allocation for organic agriculture support. The agri-board emphasized the need for consultations with greater reach involving producers, retailers and merchandisers and the consumers of the goods stressing the important role of agri-business. The highlight of the study revealed that organic farming advocacy in Davao City cannot all be pointed on the production efficiency, farming technology but on the sustainability of income of the farmers who are to engage into such form of farming
