Welcome to the Agro-Climatic Advisory Portal (ACAP), your comprehensive “one-stop-hub” for vital climate information services across the Philippines. This digital platform is dedicated to empowering farmers, fisherfolk, and agricultural stakeholders by providing timely, relevant, and easy-to-understand agro-climatic advisories.

ACAP offers:

• Localized Weather Information: Access current weather conditions, 10-day farm weather outlooks, regional seasonal climate outlooks, and special weather forecasts, tailored to your specific area and leveraging data from PAGASA.
• Tailored Crop Recommendations: Receive advisories based on “crop decision trees” for key priority crops relevant to your region (e.g., Rice, Corn, Cassava, various vegetables). Recommendations cover various crop stages (preparation, newly planted, vegetative, reproductive, maturing) and farm operations (seed selection, land preparation, planting/transplanting, water management, fertilizer/nutrient management, pest and weed management, harvesting).
• Dynamic Advisories: Information is tailored to specific farming activities and dynamic weather/climatic conditions, helping users make informed decisions to adapt to climate change and minimize the impacts of climate hazards.
• Cropping Calendars: Plan your agricultural activities effectively with region-specific cropping calendars.
• Multiple Dissemination Channels: Access advisories through the web portal, downloadable bulletins, social media (Facebook/Messenger), and SMS text messages.

Developed with a focus on saliency, credibility, and legitimacy through user needs assessments and expert consultations (including UPLBFI, Alliance Bioversity & CIAT), ACAP aims to enhance climate change adaptation by providing the right information at the right time for better farm management nationwide.
