Abstract White corn, a distinctive and often underutilized maize variety, is drawing growing interest because of its unique traits and potential advantages. Farmer cultivation practices in white corn are quite similar with yellow corn. Its production Apayao is often limited due to many factors. This research study was conducted to document the practices employed and challenges encountered by farmers engaged in white corn production in lower Apayao.

Data gathered were respondents’ profile, production profile, their production practices, challenges encountered and its proposed solutions, and their recommendations to improved white corn production.
The findings provided that most of the farmers’ production practices were modernized, key challenges still exists. Key challenges identified includes lack of credit access, lack of technical support, limited access to quality seeds, biotic and abiotic stresses, poor soil quality, limited market and low farm gate price, high production inputs, and stealing.
