FOREWORD The Major Non-Food and Industrial Crops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates on production of major non-food and industrial crops, namely, abaca, coconut, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, and tobacco. These crops are highlighted in the report on the Performance of Agriculture that the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) releases quarterly. The 2nd quarter 2016 issue of the Bulletin presents the final estimates of production for January-March 2016 and the preliminary estimates for April-June 2016. Also, it contains the preliminary estimates of area planted for permanent crops, area harvested for temporary crops, and the number of bearing trees for the period January-June 2016. The data contained herein are generally the results of the quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) of the PSA, but the data on canes milled are sourced entirely from the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA). While the production data for coconut are largely from the CrPS, these include the integrated results of the CrPS and the Quarterly Coconut Production Survey (QCPS) of the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) for a limited number of provinces.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Production refers to the quantity produced and actually harvested for a particular crop during the reference period. For other crops, area planted refers to the actual physical area planted while area harvested refers to the actual area from which harvests are realized. Bearing trees/hills is the number of trees/hills where harvesting has been made in the past but may or may not have borne fruits or productive during the reference period due to cyclical production pattern of the crop. Estimates of production, area planted/harvested and number of bearing trees/hills are generated from the quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) of which there are four survey rounds in a year, that is, February, May, August and November.

Abaca

Production of abaca fibers went up slightly by 0.7 percent in April-June 2016

from 19.36 thousand mt last year to 19.50 thousand mt (Table 3). This was

attributed to the following factors:

o more stripping activities due to good prices of fiber in Caraga (Agusan del

Sur and Surigao del Sur);

o increased demand from traders and local handicraft makers in Aklan; and

o more farmers harvested abaca due to favorable weather for harvesting and

drying of fibers, as well as good price for fiber in Bukidnon.

On the other hand, there was a noticeable decrease in the production of the top

two abaca-producing regions, namely, Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas, due to

the following:

o less stripping activities in Catanduanes as farmers engaged in different

election-related activities; and

o occurrence of abaca “bunchy top” and “mosaic” disease in Northern Samar.

The top abaca producer was Bicol Region with a share of 41.0 percent to the

country’s national abaca production. Eastern Visayas followed next with 19.5

percent, and Caraga and Davao Region with 11.1 and 9.8 percent contribution,

respectively (Figure 2).

Coconut

For the period April-June 2016, production of coconut was estimated at 3.19

million mt, which is 7.0 percent lower than last year’s 3.43 million mt (Table 4).

This was caused by the following:

o smaller nuts developed due to the effect of dry spell in Davao Region,

particularly in the provinces of Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, and

Davao del Sur; and

o decrease in the number of bearing trees due to Typhoon “Nona” in

Northern Samar.

Higher production reported in some areas were attributed to:

o increase in the number of bearing trees in Capiz and Zamboanga del Sur;

and

o improved yield due to the salt fertilization program of the Philippine

Coconut Authority (PCA) in Quezon.

The top coconut producing regions were Davao Region, Zamboanga Peninsula,

and Northern Mindanao (Figure 4). These regions had a collective production of

1.32 million mt and comprised 41.2 percent of the national coconut production.

Coffee

Production of dried coffee berries decreased by 13.9 percent in April-June 2016, from 8.93 thousand mt last year to 7.70 thousand mt (Table 5). This decline was caused by the following factors: o smaller and less berries harvested due to drought in North Cotabato and

Sultan Kudarat; and o reduced harvest as old and less productive trees were cut down in

Zamboanga del Norte and Ifugao.

On the other hand, production increase in some areas were attributed to the following: o increase in number of bearing trees in Pangasinan; and o more berries harvested from young bearing trees which resulted to the

extension of harvest from 1st quarter up to 2nd quarter in Nueva Vizcaya.

The top coffee producing region was SOCCSKSARGEN at 3.12 thousand mt, contributing 40.5 percent to the national total production. The other major producing regions were Davao Region which contributed 19.0 percent and ARMM, 17.4 percent, to the national production (Figure 6).

Of the total coffee production, Robusta coffee was the top-produced variety at 59.3 percent, followed by Arabica, 28.9 percent; Excelsa, 11.3 percent; and Liberica, 0.6 percent (Figure 7) .

Rubber

During the April-June 2016 period, the production of rubber dropped by 11.8 percent, from 119.54 thousand mt in 2015 to 105.38 thousand mt this year (Table 6). The decrease was due to the following: o drying up of some trees due to drought and less tapping activities due to

low buying price of cup lump North Cotabato; and o less latex were produced due to the falling of leaves of rubber trees

(wintering) caused by prolonged dry weather in Basilan.

The top producers during the period were Zamboanga Peninsula with 41.5 percent contribution, ARMM with 29.6 percent, and SOCCSKSARGEN with 19.9 percent share to the national total production (Figure 9).

Sugarcane

The April-June 2016 production of sugarcane (all uses) was estimated at 3.40

million mt, 26.6 percent higher than the 2015 level of 2.68 million mt (Table 7).

Production of sugarcane for centrifugal sugar which shared about 96.2 percent

to the total sugarcane production, increased by 30.2 percent attributed to the

following:

o movement of harvest due to the delayed milling in Luzon particularly in Tarlac and Camarines Sur; and

o harvesting of more canes from ratooning and continuous milling operations (until June 2016) in Negros Occidental.

On the other hand, there was a huge drop in the production of sugarcane for

ethanol. The 35.1 percent decrease was caused by the halt in the operations of

some contract growers in Kalinga and less area harvested in Isabela as the

harvesters are still waiting for the canes to mature.

The biggest sugarcane producing region was Negros Island with a share of 46.8

percent to the national sugarcane production during this reference period

(Figure 11).

Tobacco

Total production of tobacco for the second quarter of 2016 was recorded at 41.81 thousand mt (Table 8). It went down slightly by 0.9 percent from last year’s level of 42.21 thousand mt due to the: o decline in Tobacco Virginia resulting from the shift to corn and eggplant,

and less area planted brought by the high cost of curing materials in Ilocos Region (Ilocos Sur and La Union).

While the situation in Ilocos Region caused a huge decrease in the total tobacco

production, there was a remarkable increase in Other (Burley) in the province of

Isabela which was attributed to the increase in area harvested due to the

financial support from Universal Leaf Philippines Incorporated (ULPI) and private

individuals. This compensated for the huge decrease in Native, resulting to a

minimal decrease in the over-all tobacco production.

Ilocos Region remained the major tobacco producer with a share of 64.4 percent to the national total (Figure 13).

Of the total tobacco production, Others (Burley) composed 45.2 percent,

followed by Virginia, which was 43.1 percent. Native variety comprised 11.8

percent (Figure 14).
