FOREWORD
The Palay and Corn Quarterly Bulletin describes the palay and corn crop
situation in the country. This Fourth Quarter 2022 issue of the Bulletin presents
the final estimates of production, area harvested, and yield from July to
September 2022, and the preliminary estimates from October to December 2022.
It also includes information on monthly prices of palay, corn, and fertilizer.
The estimates for production and area harvested are the results of the
January 2023 Palay Production Survey (PPS) and Corn Production Survey
(CPS). Data on prices are sourced from the Farm Prices Survey (FPS) of the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Fertilizers/Pesticides Weekly Prices
from the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA).

BACKGROUND
Scope and Coverage
The Palay Production Survey (PPS) is the source of data for palay, while Corn
Production Survey (CPS) is the source of data for corn.
Survey results, such as production and harvest area for palay and corn generated
from PPS and CPS, are published in this Bulletin. PPS and CPS have four survey
rounds in a year: January, April, July, and October.
With the new sampling design for PPS and CPS starting first quarter of 2021, both
surveys cover all regions and provinces of the country, except the National Capital
Region (NCR).
Sampling Methodology
The domain of the survey is the province. The City of Davao and the
City of Zamboanga, which were previously treated as domains, are now merged
with Davao Del Sur and Zamboanga Del Sur, respectively. The sampling designs
of PPS and CPS use the results of the 2012 Census of Agriculture and Fisheries
(CAF) and 2017 Listing of Farm Households (LFH) as sampling frames. The PPS
and CPS employ a combined survey-based and model-based design with the
following details:
a. For the survey-based,
(i) The sampling design is two-stage where:
o The first stage is the selection of sample barangays or Primary

Sampling Units (PSUs) using probability proportional to size (pps)
with palay farm area as size measure for PPS and corn farm area
for CPS; and
o The second stage is the selection of palay/corn farming households
or Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs) using systematic sampling.
(ii) Rotation of samples is done annually for barangays and quarterly

for farming households. However, while the Coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to affect mobility, sample
farming households are rotated annually; and
viii
(iii) Samples for CPS are independent from PPS.1
b. For model-based estimation, regression models using various auxiliary

variables are used to generate estimates for palay and corn production,
and area harvested in selected minor producing provinces which are not
scheduled for survey during the quarter. These provinces are the least
producing provinces of palay/corn.
Data Collection
Data collection is conducted quarterly during the first 10 days of the month after
the reference quarter, except for the fourth quarter where data collection is made
earlier.
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. It excludes those produced but not harvested due to low price, lack of
demand, force majeure, or fortuitous events, etc.
Area planted refers to the actual physical area planted.
Area harvested refers to the actual area from which harvests were realized. This
excludes crop areas which were totally damaged. It may be smaller than the area
planted.

HIGHLIGHTS
1.0 PALAY AND CORN SITUATION
PALAY
Palay production from October to December 2022 was recorded at

7.22 million metric tons, indicating a decline of -2.5 percent from the
fourth quarter of the previous year's output of 7.41 million metric tons. Moreover,
harvest area decreased to 1.78 million hectares or by -0.9 percent, from
1.80 million hectares in the same period of the previous year. Yield per hectare
was lower at 4.06 metric tons compared with the 4.13 metric tons yield in the same
quarter of 2021. (Figure 1 and Tables 2 to 4)

Palay production from irrigated areas contributed 70.4 percent to the total palay
output in the fourth quarter of 2022, while the remaining 29.6 percent was
produced from rainfed areas. (Figure 2 and Table 1)

Palay production from irrigated areas was reported at 5.08 million metric tons
during the reference quarter. A decrease of -3.6 percent was noted relative to the
irrigated palay production during the same quarter of the previous year.
(Table 1)
Bulk of the production of irrigated palay came from Central Luzon with
1.28 million metric tons or 25.2 percent share to the total irrigated palay output of
the country. This was followed by Cagayan Valley with 16.3 percent share and
Ilocos Region with 14.5 percent share. (Figure 3 and Table 5)

The rainfed palay registered 2.14 million metric tons production or 0.3 percent
growth this October to December 2022, in comparison with the output in the same
quarter of the previous year.
Ilocos Region was the top producer of rainfed palay with

528.03 thousand metric tons, which contributed 24.7 percent of the total rainfed
palay production. This was followed by Western Visayas with 17.6 percent share
and MIMAROPA Region with 10.1 percent share. (Figure 4 and Table 6)

CORN
The October to December 2022 corn production was posted at

1.98 million metric tons. This indicates a decrease of -6.9 percent from
the 2.13 million metric tons production of the same quarter of the previous
year. Likewise, harvest area contracted to 627.88 thousand hectares from
the same quarter of the previous year's area of 661.69 thousand hectares.
Yield per hectare was also lower at 3.15 metric tons during the quarter
compared with the 3.21 metric tons yield in the same period of 2021.

Of the total corn production, yellow corn accounted for 72.7 percent of the total
corn output for this quarter, while the remaining 27.3 percent comprised the
production of white corn. (Figure 7 and Table 1)

Production of yellow corn was observed at 1.44 million metric tons during the fourth
quarter of 2022, indicating a decrease of -7.8 percent. In the same quarter of the
previous year, yellow corn production was estimated at 1.56 million metric tons.
(Table 1)
The major yellow corn-producing region was Cagayan Valley with
