FOREWORD The Major Fruit Crops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates on production of banana, calamansi, mango, and pineapple. These crops are highlighted in the report on the Performance of Agriculture that the PSA releases quarterly. This first quarter 2019 issue of the Bulletin presents the final estimates of production from October to December 2018 and the preliminary estimates from January to March 2019. The main source of data is the Crops Production Survey (CrPS) conducted quarterly by PSA. JOSIE B.

Around 282 crops are covered by this survey. For this bulletin, information on four major fruit crops are reported. These fruit crops are banana, calamansi, mango and pineapple. Estimates of production, area planted/harvested, and number of bearing trees/hills are generated from the (CrPS) which has four survey rounds in a year, that is, February, May, August, and November. Crops statistics covers all regions excluding National Capital Region (NCR). Sampling Methodology A non-probability survey is employed for the CrPS. A “5 by 5” design was used in the selection of samples, with the province as survey domain. The top five producing municipalities of a certain crop are chosen from each province. From each of these municipalities, five sample farmers are selected as respondents. In this two-stage design, municipality serves as the primary sampling unit while farmer-producer is the secondary sampling unit. Data Collection For CrPS, data collection is conducted quarterly during the last 10 days of the middle month of the quarter. It gathers data on production, area planted/harvested and number of bearing trees/hills. 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. Excluded are those produced but not harvested due to low price, lack of demand and force majeure or fortuitous events, etc. 1 Source: Excerpts from Crops Statistics of the Philippines 2012-2016; ISSN-2012-0487 https://psa.gov.ph/content/crops-statistics-philippines-national-and-regional vi Area planted refers to the actual physical area planted. This generally applies to area reported for permanent crops and multi-harvest temporary crops. On the other hand, area harvested refers to the actual area from which harvests are realized. This excludes crop area which were totally damaged. It may be smaller than the area planted. In crops statistics, this applies to temporary crops. Bearing trees/hills refers to trees/hills 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 applies to banana. vii This page is intentionally left blank FIGURE 1 Banana Production by Region, January-March: 2019 1 p HIGHLIGHTS Banana For the period January to March 2019, production of banana went down by 1.4 percent, from 2.14 million metric tons in 2018 to 2.11 million metric tons this year. More than one third or 37.1 percent of total banana production was from Davao Region. Northern Mindanao followed with 24.9 percent and SOCCSKSARGEN with 12.8 percent shares to total (Figure 2). Cavendish variety recorded the highest level of 1.20 million metric tons, representing 56.6 percent of the total banana production this quarter. Saba ranked second with 25.0 percent share and Lakatan with 8.9 percent (Figure 3).

Among the regions, CALABARZON had the highest production of 2.96 thousand metric tons or 19.8 percent of the total production. This was followed by MIMAROPA Region with 16.6 percent and Central Luzon with 12.9 percent (Figure 5).
