Are we done with CARP?
Did the BBM administration quietly declare that our agrarian reform program is over?
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has concluded that the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) has effectively come to an end due to a sunset clause in the law, which expired on June 30, 2014. This decision comes after a request from the Land Registration Authority (LRA) for a legal opinion on the validity of Land Transfer Clearance requirements, which were invalidated by the expiration of the CARP's effectivity period.
The cessation of CARP is expected to benefit agribusiness by allowing for economies of scale and more efficient investments in agriculture.
