INTRODUCTION
Agriculture remains key for growth and poverty reduction. The Philippines is the
world’s eighth-largest rice producer. Its arable land totals 5.4 million hectares. Rice area
harvested has expanded from nearly 3.8 million hectares in 1995 to about 4.4 million
hectares in 2010. Rice is a staple food for most Filipinos across the country. The nation’s
per capita rice consumption arose from 93.2 kg per year in 1995 to 123.3 kg per year in
Philippine is known for its large area for rice production but still insufficient to
sustain the country’s need. It is because of some factors affecting to its production like
overpopulation, global warming and natural disaster. With this situation, IRRI closely
improved farm tools and equipment, with a view to reducing the drudgery of human
beings and draught animals, enhancing the cropping intensity and the precision,
timeliness and efficiency of various crop inputs, and reducing the losses at different
productivity and lower the cost of production (Verma, 20106). There are two general
household labour) and hired labour. Mechanization affects both sources of labour, but in

slightly different ways. Mechanization tends to expand the reach of owner- operator
This study will highlight the factors affecting the adoption of mechanized farming
technology of rice farmers in Jaro, Leyte together with the socio-economic profile of the
rice farmers.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Based on Rogers’ theory, he noted that the new technology itself can explain 49-
87% of the technology adoption rate. The differences in the level of technology benefits,
the level of risk, and the degree of dependence on resources account for the differences in
theory of Pawlak et al. (2002), they stated that any country can follow and/or adapt to fit
its needs and formulate its own strategy to achieve the required level of mechanization

landlocked province with an area of 150.54 square kilometers or 58.12 square miles
which constitutes 2.38% of Leyte's total area. Its population as determined by the 2020
Census was 57,185. It is bounded on the north by Barugo and San Miguel, on the south
by Pastrana on the northeast by Tacloban city, on the east by Santa Fe, and on the west by
area of 207.19 square kilometers or 80.00 square miles which constitutes 3.28% of
Leyte’s total area. Its population as determined by the 2015 Census was 43, 199 and this
represented 2.50% of the total population of Leyte province. The nearest municipalities in
Jaro are Alangalang, Tunga, San Miguel, Pastrana, Santa Fe, and Barugo.

The researcher will use the simple random sampling technique. This will give
equal chance to all respondents to be selected as a participant. The list of rice farmers will
be obtained at the Municipal Agriculture Office of Carigara, Leyte. In this study, only
those names in the list will be included regarding of the list given by the office of
municipal agriculture.
To obtain the sample size, Yamane equation (1967) will be used in calculating the
exact number of respondents needed in the data gathering. A total of 77 respondents will

Research Design
This study will use qualitative descriptive analysis. Using a survey questionnaire,
data will be gathered from respondents who are members of an organization who have
enough knowledge to answer the question given by the researchers. Additionally, this
study will explore farmers' youth benefits of organic agriculture training in Alangalang
Leyte.
Research Instrument
The study will use an interview schedule designed by the researcher. Originally, a
questionnaire will be drafted in English and be translated into the local dialect (Waray-
waray) to facilitate an interview. The farmers will be asked about Part I. Socio-
demographic profile, and Part II. The Factors influencing the adoption of Artificial
Insemination in Carigara, Leyte. Part III. The problems encountered in the adoption of
artificial insemination.
Data Collection
Before conducting the study, this proposal will be submitted and presented to the
thesis adviser and other SRC members for approval. Also, a request for permission to
conduct the study will be send to the respected offices of the barangays. Once the request

for permission is approved, then it is time to conduct the survey. Data will be gathered by
conducting a survey to the selected participants in the chosen barangays. meter social
Data Analysis
The researcher will prepare and organize the data from the survey questionnaire. The
researcher will obtain the data through the survey questionnaire answered by the
respondents of the study. The researchers will prepare and organize the data from the
