FOREWORD

This report describes the palay and corn crop situation from October to December 2019. The estimates are the results of the January 2020 round of the Palay Production Survey (PPS) and Corn Production Survey (CPS) conducted quarterly by the PSA.

The report also includes information on monthly prices of palay, rice, corn and fertilizer; and cumulative actual decadal and normal rainfall. Data on prices are sourced from the Weekly Cereals and Fertilizer Price Monitoring (WCFPM) of the PSA, while rainfall data are provided by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

BACKGROUND1

Scope and Coverage

The Palay Production Survey (PPS) and Corn Production Survey (CPS) are the sources of data for palay and corn published in this Bulletin.

Production and harvest area for palay and corn are generated from PPS and CPS, respectively, which have four survey rounds in a year, that is, January, April, July and October.

Crops statistics cover all regions, except National Capital Region (NCR).

Sampling Methodology

The sampling design of PPS and CPS uses the results of the 2012 Census of Agriculture (CAF) and 2017 Listing of Farm Households (LFH) as the sampling frames. It employs a replicated two-stage stratified sampling design with province as domain. The barangay is the primary sampling unit, which is selected using probability proportional to size scheme. The farming household serves as the secondary sampling unit, which is selected systematically.

Data Collection

For PPS and CPS, data collection is conducted quarterly during the first 10 days of the month after the reference quarter, except for the fourth quarter where data collection is made earlier.

Concepts and Definitions

Crop production refers to the quantity produced and actually harvested for a particular crop during the reference period. It includes those harvested but damaged, stolen, given away, consumed, given as harvester’s share, reserved, etc. Excluded are those produced but not harvested due to low price, lack of demand and force majeure or fortuitous events, etc. Harvest area refers to the actual area from which harvests are realized. This excludes crop area which were totally damaged. It may be smaller than the area planted.

HIGHLIGHTS

1.0 PALAY AND CORN SITUATION

PALAY

Palay production from October to December 2019 was 7.49 million metric tons. This was 4.7 percent higher than the level in the same period a year ago of 7.16 million metric tons. On the other hand, harvest area contracted to 1.84 million hectares from the previous year’s record of 1.85 million hectares. Yield increased to 4.07 metric tons per hectare or higher by 5.2 percent from the 2018 level of 3.87 metric tons. (Figure 1 and Table 1.1 to 1.3) o Increment in production was largest

in Cagayan Valley at 0.23 million

metric tons or by 31.4 percent. This

was followed by Western Visayas at

0.14 million metric tons (19.9%); and

Ilocos Region, 0.10 million metric

tons (9.2%). These regions also

increased in harvest area.

o Yield of palay per hectare in the

Cordillera Administrative Region

(CAR) and Cagayan Valley

increased by 31.0 percent and

28.1 percent, respectively, from their

respective levels in 2018. (Table 1.3)

FIGURE 3 Distribution of Irrigated Palay Production

by Region, October-December: 2019

FIGURE 4 Distribution of Rainfed Palay Production by Region, October-December: 2019

Palay production from irrigated areas

contributed 71.1 percent to the total palay

output for the quarter, while the remaining

28.9 percent comprised the production from

rainfed areas. (Figure 2 and Table 1.4

to 1.5)

Irrigated palay output was recorded at

5.33 million metric tons during the reference

quarter. This was higher by 0.37 million

metric tons (7.5%) than the 2018 level of

4.95 million metric tons. Bulk of the

production came from Central Luzon,

Cagayan Valley, and Ilocos Region with a

combined share of 54.4 percent of the total

production from irrigated areas. (Figure 3

and Table 1.4)

Rainfed palay output was registered at

2.17 million metric tons, 0.16 million

metric tons (1.5%) lower than the 2018

level of 2.20 million metric tons. The

regions of Ilocos Region, Western Visayas

and MIMAROPA were the top producers for

rainfed palay. (Figure 4 and Table 1.5)

CORN The October to December 2019 corn

production of 1.66 million metric tons

was lower by 8.2 percent than the 2018

level of 1.81 million metric tons.

Harvest area decreased to

559.03 thousand hectares from

the previous year’s record of

611.80 thousand hectares (8.6%).

However, yield per hectare increased by

0.5 percent, from 2.95 metric tons in

2018 to 2.97 metric tons in 2019.

(Figure 6 and Tables 1.6 to 1.8)

o Cutback in production was highest

in Cagayan Valley at 0.15 million

metric tons (42.2%), from the

previous year’s level of 0.36 million

metric tons. This was followed by

Zamboanga Peninsula (0.02 million

metric tons), and CALABARZON

(0.01 million metric tons).

Decrements in harvest area were

also observed in these regions.

o Yield of corn per hectare in CAR at 4.42 metric tons increased by 48.6 percent

compared with the previous year’s level of 2.98 metric tons.

FIGURE 8 Distribution of Yellow Corn Production by Region, October-December: 2019

FIGURE 9 Distribution of White Corn Production by Region, October-December: 2019

Of the total corn production for October to

December 2019, yellow corn accounted for

69.6 percent, while white corn comprised

the remaining 30.4 percent. (Figure 7 and

Table 1.9 to 1.10)

Production of yellow corn was recorded at

1.15 million metric tons during the

reference period. This was 10.9 percent

lower than the 2018 level of

1.30 million metric tons. The major yellow

corn producing regions were

Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN

and Cagayan Valley with a combined

output of 71.2 percent. (Figure 8 and

Table 1.9)

Production of white corn was posted at

0.50 million metric tons. This was lower by

1.2 percent than the previous year’s level

of 0.51 million metric tons. About

70 percent of the 2019 output was shared

by Northern Mindanao, ARMM,

SOCCSKSARGEN and Davao Region.

3.0 WEATHER INDICATOR, OCTOBER-DECEMBER 20193

Weak El Niño condition which started since the last quarter of 2018 had persisted in the Central and Eastern Equatorial Pacific (CEEP). The warmer than average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) have slightly weakened in June, but still within El Niño threshold. It is expected that a transition from El Niño to ENSO-neutral condition will be likely to occur in August or September, with ENSO-neutral favored to continue through the last quarter of 2019. Rainfall assessment for the month of October 2019 in most parts of Luzon and eastern Visayas received way below to below normal rainfall conditions. Meanwhile, near to above normal rainfall were experienced over the western and central parts of Visayas and Mindanao. For the month of November 2019, it showed that near to above normal rainfall conditions were experienced in most parts of northern and central Luzon, MIMAROPA, Batangas, Cavite, Metro Manila, Panay Island, South Cotabato and most parts of Davao Region. The remaining parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao received below to way below normal rainfall conditions. The rainfall assessment for December 2019 showed most parts of Luzon and Visayas, and some parts of Davao Region experienced near to above normal rainfall. However, the remaining parts of Mindanao received below to way below normal rainfall conditions. The weather systems that affected the country were the low pressure areas (LPAs), localized thunderstorms, easterlies, northeast (NE) monsoon, and the passage of six (6) tropical cyclones (TCs) over the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), namely, Typhoon (TY) “Perla” (October 16-20), Typhoon (TY) “Quiel” (November 5-8), Typhoon (TY) “Ramon” (November 12-20), Severe Tropical Storm (STS) “Sarah” (November 19-22), Typhoon (TY) “Tisoy” (November 30 – December 5) and Typhoon (TY) “Ursula” (December 23-28).
