The Bohol Agricultural Promotion Center (BAPC) started in 1983 as a joint technical cooperation between the Japanese (JICA) and the Philippine government. It was geared towards accelerating the agricultural development of Bohol. The five-year project ended on January 1988, but was extended for another two years. By January 1990, the project was turned over to the Philippine government under the De

partment of Agriculture. From 1990 until 1995, BAPC functioned as a research outreach station (ROS) for the lowland irrigated development zone. It continued its integrated function on research, extension and training but focused more on rice and rice-based farming systems.

In order to utilize the experiences and success of APC as center for RD&E, both the Japanese and Philippine government agreed to implement the Bohol Integrated Agriculture Promotion Project (BIAPP) from 1996 to 2001, in collaboration with LGU-Ubay and NIA-BHIP II. From 1996 to 2001, BIAPP succeeded in increasing rice yield from 2.8 to 4.0 tons per hectare. However, it was observed that there was a need to integrate the different farming systems with the objective of optimizing the use of available resources of a particular rice farmer to maximize agricultural productivity and provide additional sources of farm income. Therefore the BIAPP project was extended from November 2001 to November 2003.
​
At present, the Bohol Agricultural Promotion Center has continued it research, extension and training activities, not only in Bohol but the whole region under the Central Visayas Integrated Agricultural Research Center of the Department of Agriculture, Region 7 , concentrating on rice and rice-based farming.

Notably, the Federation generated total sales of ₱17,560 during the three-day exhibit. A significant outcome of the activity was the establishment of a market linkage with a buyer from Panglao Island for Palayamanan products, particularly turmeric and ginger powder variants, opening new opportunities for expanded market access.

The participation of the Palayamanan farmers highlighted their strong commitment to promoting integrated, diversified, and science-based farming systems for sustainable agricultural development in Bohol.
