Disclaimer: The research that I have found came from the Philippine Statistics Office owned by
the Republic of the Philippines. Any statistical data presented here originally came from the said institution,
and I, as the researcher would like to say in advanced that I just elaborated further the data set given, as a
requirement for the subject Applied Mathematics.
INTRODUCTION
The Data set provided in this research came from the Philippine Statistics Authority and entitled “2017
Selected Statistics on Agriculture (SSA)”, in which is the 28 th issue of the annual statistical report published by the
said institution. This has the five-year data series from 2012-2016 for selected macroeconomic indicators and
agricultural production. This data corresponds to the needs of the data users and is useful in the future use.
The purpose of having this data set is for the annual report of the Philippine Statistics Office in regards to
the agricultural sector.
Material and Methods explained

1. Data sets are sourced from various agricultural surveys conducted by PSA for crops, livestock and poultry and
fisheries. Estimation procedures are based on the established sampling methodology used for each survey as
discussed in detail in the Metadata for National Agricultural Statistics in the Philippines.
2. Unless otherwise indicated, year refers to calendar year.
3. Sources of basic data from other agencies are acknowledged at the bottom of each table.
4. As a rule, figures from source publications were copied to the extent possible. In some instances, however, figures
were rounded-off or combined.
5. Figures may not add up to the totals due to rounding off.
6. Yield per hectare is derived prior to rounding-off the data on production and hectarage.
7. The following symbols and abbreviations are used in the tables:

OVERVIEW OF THE PHILIPPINE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY (from the original research)

Economic Performance. In 2016, the country posted a 6.71 percent growth in Gross National Income (GNI). Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) registered a 6.92 percent increment. Gross Value Added (GVA) in the agriculture and
fishing sector recorded a decline of 1.23 percent. The sector accounted for 9 percent of the GDP.
Production Performance in Agriculture. Gross output in agriculture dropped by 1.40 percent in 2016. The crops
subsector produced 3.31 percent less output this year. Palay and corn registered production losses of 2.88 percent
and 3.99 percent, respectively. Continuing output reduction was manifested by negative growth rates in the
production of onion at 32.35 percent, coffee at 4.84 percent and sugarcane at 2.42 percent. Production declines were
also observed for other major crops such as garlic, calamansi, coconut, mango and banana. The livestock subsector
recorded a 4.59 percent gain in production. Except for goat, all livestock components came up with higher outputs.
Specifically, hog and dairy production grew by 5.25 percent and 3.78 percent, respectively. The poultry subsector
marked a 1.39 percent growth in production. There was an increase in chicken meat production by 0.82 percent,
while there was a decrease in duck meat production by 5.08 percent. Egg production was up by 3.86 percent for
chicken and 4.14 percent for duck. Production in the fisheries subsector was down by 4.15 percent. While milkfish
posted an output increase, declines were noted among the other major species such as yellowfin tuna, seaweed,
roundscad, skipjack and tilapia.
Prices. On the average, prices received by farmers for their produce in 2016 were 1.84 percent higher than the 2015
levels. Among the crops, cereals registered a 0.19 percent drop in prices during the year. On the other hand, price
increments were recorded for fruits at 21.54 percent, rootcrops and tubers at 16.05 percent, commercial crops at
15.45 percent, and vegetables and legumes at 13.58 percent. On the average, prices of livestock and poultry
contracted by 2.05 percent and 0.15 percent, respectively. Prices of fishery products were also down by 3.71 percent.
In the same year, prices paid by consumers for food and nonalcoholic beverages were up by an average of 2.48
percent.
Agricultural Trade. The country’s export earnings from agricultural products increased by 1.49 percent and this
accounted for 9 percent of the total exports. Coconut oil, fresh banana and pineapple and products were the leading
agricultural export products. These contributed 50 percent to the total value of agricultural exports. Major export
destinations were the Netherlands and the United States of America (USA) for coconut oil, Japan and China for
fresh banana and USA for pineapple and pineapple products. The expenditures for agricultural imports in 2016
expanded by 14.16 percent and these shared 15 percent in the country’s total imports. Higher payments were
recorded for wheat and meslin, soyabean oil/cake meal, and milk and cream and products. Collectively, these
accounted for a share of about 23 percent in the total value of agricultural imports. The USA remained the country’s
top supplier of wheat and meslin, including soyabean oil/cake meal and milk and cream and products. The country
sustained an agricultural trade deficit in 2016. While it recorded an agricultural trade surplus with Japan, it
continued to register deficits with the other major trading partners such as Australia, USA, ASEAN countries and
the European Union.
Employment. In 2016, about 43.36 million persons were in the labor force and 95 percent were employed. The
agriculture sector employed 11.06 million persons and this comprised 27 percent of the national employment.
Agricultural Support Services. Government expenditures for the agriculture sector amounted to P122.23 billion in
2016 and this amount was 22.49 percent higher than the previous year’s record. Agricultural expenditures accounted
for 4 percent of the total national expenditures. In 2016, 1.86 million hectares of farmlands were irrigated
nationwide. This was 59.32 percent of the total irrigable area.
THE DATA
Disclaimer: the data presented in this paper came from the research done by the Philippine Statistics
Authority, and therefore is not a product of my imagination. The data that will be presented focuses on one sector
only, the presenter only wishes to analyze the production and yield of Palay which is presented as the last data in
this paper. Some data presentations are for the purpose of explaining the economic growth of the agriculture sector
as a whole.
This data shows the data series of the crops in Palay Production in the year 2012- 2016. The data will be
analyzed using time series.
This table shows the graph of the Palay production with the comparison of the production and yield per
metric ton. As you can see, the production each year increases per metric ton, but compared to the yield, the graph
shows a rising and falling pattern. The year that has the most yield was in 2014 and the year that has the least yield
was in 2008.
