YAP STATE GOVERNMENT Existing Link between the DAF and EPA. Suggested Link between agriculture and private sector targeting mainly the local market, and possibly promoting export of agricultural products. Link between private sector small entrepreneurs and local communities [possibly through a cooperative] to promote, and possibly enhance, subsistence farming selling surpluses in the local market. The Sector through existing reviews and/or policies U.S. Department of Interior: Report to Congress on the First 5years Review of the Compact of free Association with the Federated States of Micronesia (2010) pp. 50 Agriculture is not comprehended in the Sectors that have “Sector Grant” dedicated to them. Many activities are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other agencies outside the main Compact umbrella. The Compact Sector Grants however support Environmental projects on issues supporting the achievement of Goal 4 of the SDP: “Promote environmentally sound and sustainable production”. More specifically, “Environment sector grants support Government efforts to protect the country’s land and marine environment and to conserve and achieve the sustainable use of natural resources. Allowable activities include the ongoing development, adoption and enforcement of policies, laws and regulations; the reduction and prevention of environmental pollution and degradation; the protection of biological diversity; the establishment of conservation areas; environmental infrastructure planning, design construction and operation; interaction and cooperation with nongovernmental organizations; the promotion of increased environmental awareness; and , the promotion of increased citizen involvement in conservation.” FSM: Comments from the Federated States of Micronesia on the Five Year Review of the Amended Compact of Free Association (2011) The Comments from the Federated States of Micronesia on the Five Year Review of the Amended Compact of Free Association do not include an overview of the Agriculture Sector. The Policy Proposal of the Agriculture National Policy, designed based on the SDP structure, will be taken into consideration during the formulation of the final policy recommendations. [Working Group Note: Members of the Task Force participated into the meetings with national Government officials related to the mentioned Agriculture Policy Plan.] Yap: work in progress towards a local perspective Yap has currently no specific agricultural policy, and has not so far planned agriculture related activities using the SDP as a point of reference. The impact of the national Agriculture Policy designed on the SDP structure, and currently subjected to approval at the national level is currently unknown. Independently from the outcome of national decisions over the new Agriculture Policy there is a perceived need to translate macro objectives as stated in the national policy documents into a realistic and locally tailored policy, allowing in this way the agriculture sector to gain institutional, political and budgetary support. [Secretariat Note: It would be useful to conduct a survey on the consumption of local food. The survey will be relevant to address the definition and thresholds of poverty in Yap, and the role played by subsistence agriculture in mitigating poverty. Additionally the consumption of local food should be considered for the GDP calculation is to 33 | P a g e
