Introduction

M'lang North Cotabato was known for its abundance of planted and harvested rice in the
Philippines because of its very large planting areas. It has been producing a very large amount
of rice here in Philippines that contributes for the country's rice consumption.

Discussion
We can see in the year 2016 in table 1. (Rice production in M'lang North Cotabato in terms of
the number of sacks per hectare in the year 2016) that its total number of sacks in that year
reached 456 sacks while in table 2. (Rice production in M'lang North Cotabato in terms of the
number of sacks per hectare in the year 2018) had reached 498 sacks. The lowest number of
sacks produced in every three months is 110 sacks while the highest is 135 sacks. Its differences
in the number of sacks in every three months per hectare was due to the changes of the
climate. One of the reason was due to the improvement of farming tools and equipments and
high quality of the rice seeds.

Conclusion

The number of produced rice in every three months depends on the climate and on the farm
tools and equipments that had been used. As well as the used of the high quality rice seeds. The
season like having drought in a year or a month can destroy the rice plants resulting in a low
production, but if the farmers use a high technology farm technologies and using a high quality
rice seeds, the production will be high.
