Abstract:
Bukidnon is located in northcentral Mindanao. It is landlocked and bounded in the north by Misamis Oriental, in the east by Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte and in the west and southwest by Lanao provinces and on the south by North Cotabato and Davao City. The province is traversed by the Bukidnon-Davao (Buda) Highway, a major intra-island corridor stretching about 300 kilometers (km) from Davao City to Cagayan de Oro (CDO). The highway connects to the Pan Philippine Highway.
The capital city, Malaybalay, is about 96 km from CDO in the northwest; and over 200 km from Davao City in the southwest. CDO is the seat of industrial Northern Mindanao (Region 10) while Davao City is the seat of the agribusiness-based Southern Mindanao (Region 11). Bukidnon comprises two cities, 20 municipalities, and some 464 barangays.
Bukidnon has a land area of 829,378 ha, or about 8 percent of the total land area of Mindanao. Forty percent (40%), or about 336,000 ha is alienable and disposable (A&D); and the rest (60%), 493,400 ha are classified as “forest lands.” Of the A and D land, some 92% are devoted to agriculture crops
