The initial cost of implementation is PhP 28,600/hectare with a 2-year return on investment. Farmers practicing corn-rice-green corn crop rotation have an estimated annual profit of PhP 12,368/hectare and internal rate of return of 70%. Even if the corn and squash yield is lower, this practice is still much more profitable than monocropping [1].

High initial upfront costs make the implementation of this scheme in flood-prone farmlands difficult. Incentives and financial support from the government could help the farmers transition to this scheme in time for the flood period. LGUs could aid in the increase of information dissemination in the province by organizing training and programs introducing this practice and its advantages. Collaborations with other government agencies could also identify markets for the products of this scheme [1].

An estimated 3% of corn farmers in Agusan del Norte currently adopt this practice but it is projected to increase to 30% in the upcoming years [1].

Crop rotation, in general, lessens the difficulty in pest and disease management due to the disruption in the infestation cycles. It also encourages nutrient cycling [1].
