Farm-to-market roads (FMRs) are an integral part of our country’s road transport infrastructure. As such, it is one of the logistical factors that will improve transport of agricultural products as highlighted in the Chapter on Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016.
