 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 which the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) releases
quarterly.

The 2nd quarter 2018 issue of the Bulletin presents the final estimates of production
for January-March 2018 and the preliminary estimates for
April-June 2018. 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 2018.

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.

 BACKGROUND1

Scope and Coverage

The Crops Production Survey (CrPS) is the source of data for all crops other than palay
and corn. Around 282 crops are covered by this survey. For this bulletin, information on
6 crops are reported. These crops are: abaca, coconut, coffee, rubber, sugarcane,
tobacco.

Estimates of production, area planted/harvested, and number of bearing trees/hills are

generated from the quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) which has four survey
rounds in a year, that is, February, May, August and November.

Crops statistics covers all regions excluding National Capital Region (NCR).

Sampling Methodology

A non-probability survey is employed for the CrPS. A “5 by 5” design was used in the
selection of samples, with the province being the survey domain. The top five (5)
producing municipalities of a certain crop are chosen from each province. From each
of these municipalities, five (5) sample farmers are selected as respondents. In this
two-stage design, the municipalities serves as the primary sampling units while the
farmers are the secondary sampling unit.

Data Collection

For CrPS, data collection is conducted quarterly during the last ten (10) days of the
middle month of the quarter. This survey gathers data on production, area
planted/harvested, and number of bearing trees/hills.

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.

 Area planted refers to the actual physical area planted. This generally applies to area
reported for permanent crops and multi-harvest temporary crops. While, area harvested
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. In crops statistics,
this applies to temporary crops.

Bearing trees/hills is the number of trees/hills where harvesting has been made in the
past and may or may not have borne fruits (productive) during the reference period due
to cyclical production pattern of the crop.

 HIGHLIGHTS

Abaca

 Production of abaca fibers in April to June 2018 slightly decreased by 0.1 percent, from
18.84 thousand metric tons in the second quarter of last year to 18.82 thousand metric
tons of the same quarter of this year (Table 2). This was attributed to:

o less bearing hills harvested as newly planted suckers not yet harvestable in Bicol
Region;
o less harvest due to mosaic and bunchy top disease in Eastern Visayas; and
o lesser demand from handicraft processors in Western Visayas.

 Area planted to abaca during the first semester of 2018 went down to 131.3 thousand
hectares from 132.18 thousand hectares in 2017 or a decrease of 0.7 percent (Table
8). This can be due to the clearing of bearing hills and lands were shifted to sweet corn
in Northern Mindanao.

 The highest production was recorded in Bicol Region at 36.1 percent, followed by
Eastern Visayas with 19.8 percent. Production in Caraga and Davao Region comprised
12.2 percent and 10.9 percent, respectively (Figure 2).

Coconut
 For the second quarter, coconut production was estimated at 3.33 million metric tons,
3.9 percent higher than last year’s production of 3.21 million metric tons (Table 3). The
increase in production was influenced by the following:

o more nuts harvested due to salt fertilizer application program by Philippine Coconut
Authority (PCA) in SOCCSKSARGEN, and sufficient rainfall during nut formation and
fruit development stage in the third and fourth quarter of 2017 in CALABARZON and
Northern Mindanao, including SOCCSKSARGEN; and
o additional bearing trees in CALABARZON.

 The top coconut-producing region was Davao Region with contribution of 14.2 percent.
This was followed by Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and CALABARZON
with contributions of 12.8 percent, 12.7 percent, and 10.2 percent, respectively (Figure
4).

Coffee

 Coffee production in dried berries for this quarter was recorded at 6.48 thousand metric
tons, 4.2 percent lower than last year’s output of 6.77 thousand metric tons (Table 4).
Drop in production were attributed to the following:

o cutting of old and less productive arabica trees in SOCCSKSARGEN and Northern
Mindanao, and excelsa trees in Davao Region;
o effect of berry borers, and pruning and rehabilitation of old less productive robusta
trees under the Department of Agriculture’s Rehabilitation and Rejuvenation
Program in SOCCSKSARGEN; and
o effect of continuous rainfall during flowering stage of robusta bearing trees in the first
quarter in Davao Region.

 The largest coffee-producing region was SOCCSKSARGEN with contribution of 35.1

percent. This was followed by Davao Region and ARMM with contributions of 21.1
percent and 19.6 percent, respectively (Figure 6).

 Of the total national coffee production, robusta coffee variety was the most produced at
59 percent, followed by Arabica and Excelsa at 26.7 percent and 13.6 percent,
respectively. Liberica variety was recorded at only 0.7 percent (Figure 7).

 Production of rubber cup lump for April to June 2018 grew by 2.2 percent, from 117.68
thousand metric tons in the second quarter of last year to 120.33 metric tons in the same
quarter of this year (Table 5). This can be attributed to the increase in number of the
tappable trees in ARMM and SOCCSKSARGEN.

 In addition, the area planted to rubber slightly increased by 1.0 percent to 227.83
thousand hectares from last year’s area of 225.48 thousand hectares.

 Zamboanga Peninsula topped all the rubber producing regions with 34.3 percent
contribution to the national total. ARMM followed at 31.2 percent, and
SOCCSKSARGEN at 26.0 percent (Figure 9).

Sugarcane

 The April to June 2018 production of sugarcane for all uses dropped by 26.2 percent,
from 8.73 million metric tons last year to 6.44 million metric tons (Table 6).

 Production of sugarcane for centrifugal sugar, which accounted for 97.9 percent of the
total sugarcane production, declined by 26.7 percent as a result of the following:

o decrease in area planted/harvested due to the effect of the low price of sugar last
year in Western Visayas;
o lesser area harvested due to the early cut-off of milling operation (until May 2018
only) in Northern Mindanao; and
o smaller canes harvested due to less fertilizer application in Central Visayas.

 Western Visayas produced 49.6 percent of the national sugarcane production during
the period. Northern Mindanao followed at 15.0 percent. Central Visayas and
CALABARZON contributed 13.3 percent and 10.4 percent, respectively (Figure 11).

Tobacco

 Tobacco production for April to June 2018 decreased from 35.89 thousand metric tons
to 34.91 thousand metric tons or by 2.7 percent (Table 7). The decline in production
resulted from the decrease in area planted due to shifting to yellow corn and lower prices
in Ilocos Region.

 Area planted to tobacco during the first semester of 2018 went down to 26.65 thousand
hectares from 28.16 thousand hectares in 2017 or a decrease of 5.4 percent (Table 8).
This can be due to some provinces which shifted to other crops like yellow corn and
rubber. Moreover, there was no planting in Mindoro Occidental due to the closure of
Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corporation (PMFTC).

 Ilocos Region produced the bulk of the national tobacco production for the quarter with
contribution of 66.5 percent, followed by Cagayan Valley at 29.7 percent (Figure 13).

 Virginia was the most produced variety at 45.6 percent of the total tobacco production,
followed by Other variety (Burley) at 38.3 percent and Native variety at 16.1 percent
(Figure 14).
