NAME: MAURINE R. SAMPANG

Activity Number 1
Major Crops of the Philippines and their Geographical Distribution

Introduction

Crop production refers to the cultivation of crops for use as fiber and food. With the aim of defining best
practices for local and foreign farmers to produce more with less, the crop production community examines
agricultural practices and systems in terms of crop yield, benefit, environmental and ecological consequences.
Corn, soybean, wheat, oat, alfalfa, and forage plants, as well as apples, tomatoes, sweet corn, and other fruits and
vegetables, are among the crops being studied. Crop production, crop management techniques, integrated pest
management, crop competition, cover crops, rotations, tillage, plant nutrition, cultivar evaluation, and agroecology
are among the current projects.

Objectives

At the end of the exercise, the students will be able to

1. Identify the major crops in the Philippines by region

2. Identify the volume of production by crops by region

3. Compare the volume of production of the major crops in the Philippines with other countries in South East Asia
using the latest data from the internet.

Procedure

1.Fill up Table 1, 2 and 3, the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics or Philippine Statistics Authority and the Food and
Agriculture Organization website will be the official source of information for this activity. Other source of
information will be evaluated.
