TECHNICAL NOTES
I. Introduction
The Major Vegetables and Root Crops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates
on the production and area planted/harvested of major vegetables and root crops,
namely, mung bean/mongo, potato, cabbage, eggplant, tomato, ampalaya fruit,
onion, sweet potato, and cassava.
The data in the report are the results of the Crops Production Survey (CrPS), which
is conducted quarterly by the PSA. The CrPS aims to generate basic production
statistics for crops other than palay and corn at the national and sub-national levels.
It is conducted in all provinces excluding National Capital Region. The commodity

coverage varies by province based on the availability in terms of planting and
seasonality.
The CrPS covers around 280 crops sub-classified under three commodity
groupings, namely: 1) Non-Food and Industrial Crops, 2) Fruit Crops, and
3) Vegetables and Root Crops. The commodity coverage by province differs and
depends on what each province produces. The data generated are direct inputs to
the Value of Production in Philippine Agriculture and Fisheries, consequently
to the computation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It also supports the data
needs of planners, policy and decision makers, and other stakeholders
in the agriculture sector.
II. Data Collection
II.1. Data Collection Procedure
Data collection involves gathering of data through face-to-face paper and pencil
interview (PAPI) by hired Statistical Researchers (SRs) with supervision by a regular
staff during the scheduled data collection period.
Starting 2023, the data collection for CrPS is done during the last 10 days of the
last month of the quarter, except for the last quarter, which will be conducted in the
last 10 days of November.
19
II.2. Instruments
The CrPS uses the CrPS Form 1 (Data Collection Form) in the collection of data.
II.3. Data Items
The CrPS gathers data on production, area planted/harvested, and number

of bearing trees/hills/vines.
III. Methodology
III.1. Sampling Frame, Unit of Enumeration
The list of top-producing cities/municipalities serves as the sampling frame.

This is based on the information on the volume of production of crops provided
by the Provincial Agricultural Office (PAO) and validated by the Chief Statistical
Specialist (CSS)/field staff in coordination with the City/Municipal Agriculturist and
other government agencies.
III.2. Sample Selection Procedure
The selection of sample farms in the province is done by categorizing small and
large farms, according to the area planted to a specific crop.
For large farms, a maximum of five farms for each crop shall be chosen for the whole
province. For small farms, a two-stage sampling design is employed. The Primary
Sampling Units (PSUs) are the producing cities/municipalities of the specific crop
and the Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs) are the farmer-producers in the top five
producing cities/municipalities.
a. For small farms of crops covered under the Farm Prices Survey (FPS), the
top five producing cities/municipalities per crop in a province are selected to
represent the PSUs. Five farmer-producers shall be interviewed in each
selected city/municipality which will represent the SSUs.
b. For small farms of all other crops not covered under the FPS, only the top
two to three producing cities/municipalities are chosen as the PSUs.
Three farmer-producers in each city/municipality are enumerated as SSUs.
The foregoing scheme is implemented for each crop being covered.
Under this scheme, a farmer-producer may serve as a respondent
20
for several crops as long as he/she plants and harvests during the reference
quarter and the same period last year.
III.3. Estimation Procedure
Information from farmer-producer basically consists of the actual volume

of production, area, and number of bearing trees/hills/vines during the reference
quarter and the same period of the previous year. The percent change for each data
item is computed independently for the small farms and large farms, followed
by the computation of the corresponding proportion of each farm type. The area
planted/harvested is used by the concerned CSS/field staff to determine
the proportion by farm type.
The total of the actual levels of the data items is first computed for each period
(current and same period of the previous year) separately for small farms and large
farms. The percent change is then computed.
Using production as a sample indicator, percent change is computed using

the following formula:
( ∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑃𝑐𝑖 − ∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑃𝑝𝑖 )

% 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = × 100
∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑃𝑝𝑖
where:
𝑃𝑐𝑖 - production of the ith sample farmer during
the current period
𝑃𝑝𝑖 - production of the ith sample farmer during
the same period of the previous year
𝑛 - number of sample farmers
The resulting percent change of each type of farm should have a corresponding
proportion. The proportion of each type of farm should be determined as follows:
For large farms, the proportion (𝑝𝑙 ) is computed as:
𝐴𝑙
𝑝𝑙 =
𝐴𝑡
21
where:
𝐴𝑙 - total area planted to all large farms for
each crop in the particular province
𝐴𝑡 - total area planted to the province
For small farms, the proportion (𝑝𝑠 ) is computed as:
𝐴𝑠
𝑝𝑠 =
𝐴𝑡
where:
𝐴𝑙 - total area planted to all small farms for
each crop in the particular province
𝐴𝑡 - total area planted to the province
The overall percent change for the province for each crop is computed as the sum
of the weighted percent change for each type of farm, that is:
𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙 % 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = ([%𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠 × 𝑝𝑠 ] + [%𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙 × 𝑝𝑙 ])
where:
% 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠 - percent change for the small farm samples
% 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙 - percent change for the large farm samples
𝑝𝑠 - proportion of small farm samples
𝑝𝑙 - proportion of large farm samples
The overall percent change is applied to the final estimates of the same period last
year to obtain the estimate of the current period.
The current estimates on production, area, and number of bearing trees/hills/vines

for the province are derived using the following formula:
Provincial Estimate
𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙 % 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒
𝐸𝑐 = 𝐸𝑝 × (1 + [ ])
100
where:
𝐸𝑐 - current estimate
𝐸𝑝 - final estimate for the same period of the
previous year (base data)
22
Regional and National Estimates
Estimates of total production, area, and number of bearing trees/hills/vines

for the region are obtained by aggregating the estimated total production, area, and
number of bearing trees/hills/vines of the provinces within the region. Estimates
at the national level are the sum of the estimates of the regions.
IV. Concepts and Definitions of Terms
The following concepts and definitions are used in the generation of statistics
for crops.
Crop Production refers to the quantity produced and harvested for a particular crop
during the reference period. It includes those measured but damaged, stolen,
given away, consumed, given as harvesters’ share, and reserved. Also included
are those production from “pakyaw” and “contract growers”. On the other hand,
excluded are those produced but not harvested for whatever reason/s.
Area Planted is the actual physical area planted measured in hectares.

This generally applies to area reported for permanent crops and multi-harvest
temporary crops.
Area Harvested is the actual area from which harvests are realized expressed
in hectares. This excludes crop area which was totally damaged. It may be smaller
than the area planted. In crops statistics, this applies to mono-harvest temporary
crops.
Bearing Trees/Hills/Vines refer to the number of trees/hills/vines 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. Hills apply
to banana. Vines apply to grapes and the like.
Major Crops refer to the 22 crops, which collectively account for almost 95.0 percent
of the total crop production. These include palay, corn, coconut, sugarcane, banana,
pineapple, coffee, mango, tobacco, abaca, potato, mongo, onion, cassava,
sweet potato, tomato, ampalaya fruit, cabbage, eggplant, calamansi, rubber, and
cacao.

V.2. Revision of Estimates
The policy on revision of estimates approved under the NSCB Resolution

No. 7 dated 18 May 2005 (Approving the General Policy on Revising the Data
on Agricultural Production, Prices and Related Statistics of the Bureau of Agricultural
Statistics), which was adopted to PSA Board Resolution No 01, Series of 2017-119,
approved the revision of estimates on agricultural production, prices, and related
statistics to be limited to the immediately preceding quarter and for the past
three years, with quarterly breakdown to be done only during the May of the current
year. This happens when additional statistics and/or indicators are made available
to support the change in the original data.

The CrPS gathers data on production, area planted/harvested, and number

III.1. Sampling Frame, Unit of Enumeration

The list of top-producing cities/municipalities serves as the sampling frame.

III.2. Sample Selection Procedure

III.3. Estimation Procedure

Information from farmer-producer basically consists of the actual volume

Using production as a sample indicator, percent change is computed using

( ∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑃𝑐𝑖 − ∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑃𝑝𝑖 )

For large farms, the proportion (𝑝𝑙 ) is computed as:

For small farms, the proportion (𝑝𝑠 ) is computed as:

𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙 % 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = ([%𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠 × 𝑝𝑠 ] + [%𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙 × 𝑝𝑙 ])
