Major Crops of the Philippines and their Geographical Distribution
Introduction
Despite of the arising industrialization in the country, Philippines is still an agricultural country
which is known for the extensive production and supply of various crops over the world such as rice,
corn, coconut, banana, mango, pineapple, cassava, coffee and sweet potato.
Furthermore, numerous crops are being grown from the different part of the country. And it is
significant to have knowledge and awareness what crops are being produced in a particular place or
region to finally identify the variables that affects why it is being grown in that place, considering;
climate,topography, ethnicity and etc. Moreover, knowledge in major crop geographical distribution helps
us to evaluate on how a particular production of crop could affect the current state of economy.
Thus, a complete knowledge with the aforementioned variables would help a student like me--
that pursuing an agriculture related career to extend my present knowledge and serves as a reference for
my future researches.
