PCAF History
1958 - The National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) started as rice and corn coordinating Council (RCCC) on June 14, 1958 by virtue of Republic Act 2084. It was created during the time when the government aims to attain self-sufficiency in both rice and corn and provide adequate measures to ensure a permanent stability in the production of these commodities by marshaling all government agencies to increase rice and corn production at a minimum cost. 1964 - RCCC became the Rice and Corn Authority (RCA) by virtue of Executive Order No. 62, series of 1964 signed by then President Diosdado Macapagal. It was created due to numerous government agencies charged with interrelated functions relative to stabilization of the rice and corn industries creating confusion and unintegrated measures which frustrate government efforts to insure the public for ample supply of rice and corn at prices within their reach. 1966 - RCA was replaced by the Rice and Corn Production Coordinating Council (RCPCC) thru an Executive Order No. 50, series of 1996 signed in October 17, 1966 by former President Ferdinand E. Marcos. RCPCC was then the government agency that has the sole power and responsibility of implementing the Rice and Corn Production Program to avoid confusion among the implementing agencies, as well as the farmers. 1969 - Three years later, the country's food requirement outgrew the effectiveness of the RCPCC. Thus, in 1969, the National Food and Agriculture Council (NFAC) was formed thru an Executive Order No. 183, series of 1969 under the Office of the President. NFAC was headed by the Secretary Agriculture and Natural Resources as Chairman- Coordination with the head of agencies related to food production including Governor of the Central Bank of the Philippines and Presidents of various lending institutions as members. 1976 - The Livestock Development Council (LDC) was created under the administrative supervision of the Department of Agriculture (DA) by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 914 signed by former President Ferdinand E. Marcos on March 29, 1976. The LDC was created to support the policy of the government to promote the development of the livestock industry in order to increase the supply of livestock and livestock products and to attain self-sufficiency in food commodities of animal origin. 1986 - After the EDSA Revolution in 1986, former President Corazon Aquino signed an Executive Order 116, renaming the Ministry of Agriculture and Food (MAF) into Ministry of Agriculture reorganizing its units, integrating all offices and agencies whose functions relate to agriculture and fishery into the ministry. The NFAC as an agency was reorganized structurally and functionally and renamed as National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) which serves as Secretariat to the Ministry of Agriculture. Under E.O. 116, NAFC was mandated to create consultative bodies of the national, regional, provincial, municipal levels, primarily to promote private sector participation in agricultural and fisheries development through consultation, advocacy, planning, and monitoring and project evaluation. 2013 - On June 26, 2013, NAFC and LDC were consolidated into a new entity under the name Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries or PCAF, by virtue of E.O. 366. The functions of the NAFC and LDC are transferred to the PCAF in line with the intent to pursue functional and holistic rather than a sectorial approach in dealing with agricultural and fisheries issues and concerns. 2015 - Physical consolidation of NAFC and LDC
