The economic base of the municipality is basically agricultural. In terms of agricultural land area,
45.60% of the entire agricultural area is planted of Rice followed by Fruit Trees (Calamansi,
Sentoris, Rambutan, Lanzones, Durian, Mango, Mangosteen, and abui) at 39.08% and Industrial
Crops (Coconut, Cacao and Coffee, Banana, Pineapple) at 10.45%. By this year, farmers were
more inclined at rice planting compare to other crops. There were several market outlets of fruits
such as in MIMAROPA, CALABARZON, Metro Manila and Panay Island.Value of each commodity
varies on supply and demand particularly on citrus and rambutan.

Rice were sold in form of palay (grain) or rice. Marginal farmers sold their palay to local market.
Value will depend to grain quality. Dry season had a higher price compare to wet season, because
post-harvest facilities like dryer is lacking during harvest season. Price range to Php 10.00 to Php
12.00/kilo during wet season and Php 13.00 to Php 22.00/kilo during dry season both at 18% to
26% moisture content (MC). Fancy and glutinous rice and good eating quality varieties is much
higher price compare to ordinary rice. Likewise, local traders and big land owners market their
products in term of rice outside the province of Oriental Mindoro. Some rice farmer sold their palay
in the National Food Authority (NFA) at Barcenaga, Naujan, Or. Mindoro buying satellite station, and
in Calapan City. with additional trucking fee. Figure 1 shows the land area distribution of the
municipality. In terms of the volume of production (figure 2), rice accounted for 39.98% of the total
agricultural production of the municipality. Fruit trees was second to rice production with 43,165
metric tons (MT) or 37.39% followed by industrial crops with 2% or 2,306.68 MT of the total
municipal agricultural output

.
The table below shows the different farm machinery and post-harvest facilities. Most of the farmers
used farm tractors in tilling the land in all kind of crops particularly in wide areas. There were 27 unit
of farm tractor, three unit came from the Department of Agriculture (DA) which were granted one
unit to Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology (MinSCAT), one unit to Oriental
Mindoro Agricultural Experimentation Station (ORMAES) both at barangay Alcate and one unit to
the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Victoria were all farmer can avail the services provided by its
policy. There were 23 units which were privately owned by big land owners from 10 barangay.

Likewise, hand tractors were used in rice production-lowland & irrigated areas. Operationally 451
units were found in 25 rice producing barangay and privately owned by individual rice farmer. One
unit with complete accessories was given to San Juan Nepomuceno Farmers Association at
barangay San Juan through counter parting scheme. As of now, minimal farmer used animals in
their crop production. Draft animals were commonly used by marginal farmers in their corn and
vegetable production.
Harvesting of rice is usually takes when 80% of panicles turn to yellow in color. Cutting and filing
were manually done through contract (pakyaw); daily (arawan) and percentage (honusan) system of
sharing. But now, this system has change due to the trend of using harvesters. Axial flow rice
thresher was usually used in 25 barangay with the total of 256 units. The decreased in the number
of the rice thresher can be observed because of the trend of combine harvesters in the municipality
as its advantage take by the farmers.
On the other hand, corn is ready to harvest when the husk of ear is fully dried. It is also manually
done through honusan system of sharing. Since only two barangay raised corn production, two unit
of Corn Sheller were provided - one unit was operated and owned by private individual and one
operated by Cooperative which was granted by the DA.

Since Victoria is surrounded of some watershed, Victoreos know how to fish and how to improve
its production for the benefits of the community. As some of the barangays were near on the Naujan
Lakes, they produced large number of fish production for local and export purposes with a great
value.

Farming System
With the continuing information and education campaign of the Department of Agriculture, the
Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro and the Municipal Government of Victoria and
with the support of the rural-based organizations, the farming systems of the farming
communities now gradually are changing from conventional farming into natural farming
system accounted to about thirty percent of farmers involved.
This is manifested by
the organization of different natural farmers association in the municipality and clamors to undergo
natural farming systems training.
Victoria is classified under type II of the PAGASA climatic condition, which has pronounced
wet (April to September) and dry (October to March) seasons but sometimes rains are
st
evenly distributed throughout the year. Victoria just like any other municipalities of the 1 District
of Oriental Mindoro is already experiencing the effects of so called climate change and global
warming.
The Department of Agriculture in coordination with the Municipal Agriculture Office is consistently
introducing different farming systems which can easily be adopted by the farmers to increase
crop production and income through Farmers Field School, Palay Check System, Crop
Intensification and Diversification and introduction of Climate Change and Global Warming
adaptive crop varieties including provision of farm mechanization and seed banking
establishment.

There is a potential to establish manufacturing and processing industry

in
the
municipality considering its proximity to the commercial center. The most common is rice
milling wherein the agricultural sector, it was reported that there are 38 rice mills, located
at the 16 barangays of the municipality. Another is hollow blocks making due to abundance of
sand from the major river system in the municipality though it was observed that it is still
insufficient for the demand of the Victoreos.
Mining and Quarrying
Although Victoria has a potential areas for mining, majority of the communities of the
municipality are against the operation of mining. A number of Victoreos were aware already of
its ill effects on the environment.
Handicrafts Industries
The municipality has a potential to develop handicrafts because of the common raw materials
available such as coconut, bamboo and tambo.
The data below shows the existing industrial establishment and its production in the municipality.
