BACKGROUND1
v
Scope and Coverage The Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) is the source of data for palay and corn published in this Bulletin. Production and harvest area for palay and corn are generated from the PCPS which has four survey rounds in a year, that is, January, April, July and October. Crop statistics covers all regions excluding National Capital Region (NCR). Sampling Methodology The sampling design of the PCPS uses the results of the 1991 Census of Agriculture and Fisheries (CAF) as the sampling frame. The survey domain is the province. It employs a replicated two-stage stratified sampling design. 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 PCPS, data collection is conducted quarterly during the first 10 days of the month after the reference quarter. While the prices data came from the Weekly Cereals and Fertilizer Price Monitoring (WCFPM) of the PSA. 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. Excluding are those produced but not harvested due to low price, lack of demand and force majeure or fortuitous events, etc. Area harvested refers to the actual area from which harvests are realized. This excludes crop areas which were totally damaged. It may be smaller than the area planted. Farmgate prices refer to price received by farmers for the sale of their produce at the first point of sale, net of freight costs. Retail price refers to the prices at which retailers sell their goods or commodities to consumers in the marketplace. Wholesale price refers to the price at which traders or distributors sell their commodities in bulk to retailers and other distributors _________________________

1.0 PALAY AND CORN SITUATION
PALAY
The year 2018 palay production of 309,459 metric tons declined by 4.84 percent from last
year’s level of 325,209 metric tons. Likewise, area harvested contracted to 97,617 hectares
from previous year’s record of 100,830 hectares. Yield per hectare also dropped by 1.71
percent, from 3.23 metric tons per hectare to 3.17 metric tons per hectare. The decrease in
production was attributed by:
• Insufficient water supply and rainfall during the third and fourth quarter of 2018 in
the whole region.
• Pests and diseases in some parts of Negros Oriental and Cebu.
• Some areas were in-fallow in Cebu and Negros Oriental.
• Repair of some irrigation facilities in Cebu.
The top producing province is Bohol with 72.88 percent share in the total production in
Central Visayas. It was followed by Negros Oriental with 21.84 percent share.
2
Irrigated palay areas contributed 67.77
percent to the total palay production of
309,459 metric tons for the year 2018. The
rainfed areas shared 32.23 percent.
Production of irrigated palay was
registered at 209,718 metric tons in 2018.
This was lower by 3.34 percent from
previous year’s level of 216,966 metric
tons. The major producing province for
irrigated palay was Bohol with 66.50
percent share.
Palay output in rainfed areas was at
99,741 metric tons. This was lower than
the 2017 level of 108,243 metric tons, or by
7.85 percent. Bohol was still the top
producing province with 86.30 percent
share of the region’s total rainfed palay
production.
3
CORN
Corn production for the year 2018 went down by 12.88 percent, from 146,470 metric tons
in 2017 to 127,602 metric tons in 2018. Similarly, area harvested of 148,192 hectares
dropped by 9.51 percent from last year’s level of 163,767 hectares. Yield per hectare also
decreased to 0.86 metric tons per hectare from 0.89 metric tons per hectare or a decrease
of 3.73 percent.
The decrement in production of corn was mainly caused by insufficient soil moisture which
resulted to smaller cobs harvested. Also, there were some corn areas that shifted to
sugarcane in Negros Oriental and some were in-fallow in Bohol.
The top corn producing province was Cebu with 54.63 percent contribution in the total
production in Central Visayas. It was followed by Negros Oriental with 33.96 percent share.
4
Of the total corn production, white corn
accounted for 97.61 percent, while yellow
corn comprising the remaining 2.39
percent.
Production of yellow corn posted 3,047
metric tons during the period. This was
4.89 percent higher than the previous
year’s level of 2,905 metric tons. The major
yellow corn producing province was Cebu
(Table 2.1).
White corn production was estimated at
124,555 metric tons, 13.24 percent lower
than the 2017 level of 143,565 metric tons.
The top producing province was Cebu
followed by Negros Oriental (Table 2.1).
