FOREWORD

The Major Vegetables and Rootcrops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates on production of major vegetables and rootcrops, namely, mongo, peanut, cabbage, eggplant, tomato, garlic, onion, sweet potato, and cassava. These crops are highlighted in the report on the Performance of Agriculture that the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) releases quarterly. This 1st quarter 2017 issue of the Bulletin presents the final estimates of production for October-December 2016 and the preliminary estimates for January-March 2017. The main source of data is the quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) of the PSA.

TECHNICAL NOTES Production refers to the quantity produced and actually harvested for a particular crop during the reference period. For other crops, area planted refers to the actual physical area planted while area harvested refers to the actual area from which harvests are realized. Estimates of production and area planted/harvested are generated from the Quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) of which there are four survey rounds in a year, that is, February, May, August, and November.

FIGURE 2 Distribution of Mungbean/Mongo Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Mungbean/Mongo • The January-March 2017 production of mungbean slightly grew by 0.3 percent, from

7.35 thousand metric tons in 2016 to 7.37 thousand metric tons this year. This could be attributed to the following: o increase in area planted in Tarlac due to seeds distribution program of the

Department of Agriculture through the Local Government Units (DA-LGUs); and o more and better pods harvested in Pangasinan and Ilocos Norte due to

distribution of quality seeds from the LGUs.

• Ilocos Region, the biggest producer, contributed 3.05 thousand metric tons or 41.4 percent to the country’s total mungbean production this quarter. The other major producers were Western Visayas with 18.0 percent share and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) with 10.4 percent (Figure 2).

FIGURE 4 Distribution of Peanut Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Peanut • For the first quarter of 2017, production of peanut went up to 12.05 thousand metric

tons from 11.04 thousand metric tons in 2016, or by 9.1 percent which was brought about by the following:

o more pods developed in Pangasinan and in Cagayan due to favorable soil

moisture; and o increase in area planted in La Union and Ilocos Norte due to good price last

year.

• Ilocos Region, the top producer with 7.58 thousand metric tons shared 62.9 percent to total peanut production. The other top producing regions were Western Visayas and Northern Mindanao with 6.5 percent and 6.4 percent shares, respectively (Figure 4).

FIGURE 6 Distribution of Cabbage Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Cabbage • During the January-March 2017 period, cabbage production at 31.92 thousand

metric tons was 1.2 percent lower than the 2016 output of 32.31 thousand metric tons.

• The decline in output could be traced to shifting from cabbage to broccoli, lettuce, and Chinese pechay production in Benguet due to good price.

• Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) remained the largest producer with

24.47 thousand metric tons representing 76.7 percent of the total cabbage production this quarter. Ilocos Region came next with 6.2 percent and Central Visayas with 5.0 percent (Figure 6).

FIGURE 8 Distribution of Eggplant Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Eggplant • For January-March 2017, production of eggplant at 78.76 thousand metric tons was

3.1 percent higher than the previous year’s level of 76.36 thousand metric tons. The improvement in output was due to the following factors:

o increase in area planted in Tarlac, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and La Union due

to good price and demand; o bigger fruits harvested in Tarlac and Nueva Ecija due to sufficient use

of fertilizer; o use of high yielding varieties in Pangasinan; and o lesser infestation of pests such as flea beetles, hornworms and fruit borer in

Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur.

• Ilocos Region recorded the highest production at 29.46 thousand metric tons which represented 37.4 percent of the total eggplant production this quarter. Central Luzon ranked second with 18.7 percent and CALABARZON with 16.8 percent (Figure 8).

FIGURE 10 Distribution of Tomato Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Tomato • In January-March 2017, production of tomato reached 91.26 thousand metric tons,

up by 4.1 percent from its 2016 level of 87.68 thousand metric tons. The growth was supported by:

o the increase in area planted in Ilocos Sur due to contract growing scheme

offered by Northern Foods Corporation (NFC) of Ilocos Norte; o the use of high yielding varieties in Pangasinan; and o the bigger fruits harvested in Nueva Ecija due to sufficient use of fertilizer and

LGU intervention on good seeds in Bulacan.

• Ilocos Region, the highest contributor with 41.34 thousand metric tons shared 45.3 percent to the national output. This was followed by Central Luzon with 19.9 percent share and CALABARZON with 10.3 percent (Figure 10).

FIGURE 12 Distribution of Garlic Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Garlic • For January-March 2017, production of garlic reached 7.03 thousand metric tons

which was 3.1 percent higher than the 2016 level of 6.82 thousand metric tons. This was effected by the bigger bulbs harvested in Ilocos Norte as a result of the availability of more quality seeds from the LGUs coupled with favorable wind during bulb formation.

• Ilocos Region, the top producer with 5.10 thousand metric tons contributed

72.5 percent to the national total. MIMAROPA came next with 21.3 percent followed by Cagayan Valley with 4.3 percent (Figure 12).

FIGURE 14 Distribution of Bermuda Onion Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Bermuda Onion (Red Creole and Yellow Granex) • For January-March 2017, production of bermuda onion was recorded

at 102.10 thousand metric tons, 72.3 percent higher than the 59.25 thousand metric tons output last year. The growth could be traced to the increase in area planted in Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya due to seeds distribution program of the DA through the LGUs.

• Central Luzon, the highest producing region with 89.15 thousand metric tons

represented 87.3 percent to the national output. This was followed by Cagayan Valley with share of 7.7 percent and Ilocos Region with 2.9 percent (Figure 14).

Native Onion • The January-March 2017 production of native onion increased by 9.5 percent, from

24.94 thousand metric tons in 2016 to 27.31 thousand metric tons this year. Increment could be attributed to the following:

o increase in area planted in Ilocos Sur due to higher price, use of high yielding

varieties and control of root rot caused by thrips; and o bigger bulbs harvested in Ilocos Norte due to availability of more quality seeds

from the LGUs coupled with favorable wind during bulb formation.

• Ilocos Region, the top producer of native onion at 25.58 thousand metric tons shared 93.7 percent to the national total this quarter (Figure 16).

FIGURE 18 Distribution of Sweet Potato Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Sweet Potato

• During the January-March 2017 period, production of sweet potato dropped to 112.24 thousand metric tons, from 113.37 thousand metric tons in 2016 or by 1.0 percent. Among the factors that caused the decline were the following:

o decrease in yield in Albay due to root rot caused by continuous rains during root

formation; and o poor quality of tubers harvested in Leyte due to effect of weevils caused

by frequent rainfall.

• Bicol Region, the leading producer with 21.41 thousand metric tons shared 19.1 percent to total sweet potato production this quarter. Eastern Visayas ranked second with 12.4 percent followed by Western Visayas with 10.4 percent (Figure 18).

FIGURE 19 Cassava Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

FIGURE 20 Distribution of Cassava Production by Region, January-March: 2017p

Cassava • For January-March 2017, production of cassava was estimated at 589.75 thousand

metric tons which was 1.5 percent higher than last year’s 581.05 thousand metric tons. This could be attributed to the following factors:

o increase in area harvested in Bukidnon due to high demand for feeds and other

industrial uses; o more area harvested in Bohol due to resumption of milling operations

of Liwayway Marketing Corporation (LMC); and o movement of harvest in South Cotabato from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the

first quarter of 2017 due to drought in the first semester of 2016 that resulted to delayed planting.

• Northern Mindanao topped all the cassava producing regions with 189.41 thousand metric tons sharing 32.1 percent to the national output. The other leading producers were ARMM with 16.9 percent and Cagayan Valley with 16.6 percent (Figure 20).
