FOREWORD
The Major Vegetables and Root Crops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates on
production of major vegetables and root crops, namely: mung bean/mongo, potato,
cabbage, eggplant, tomato, ampalaya fruit, onion, sweet potato, and cassava.
These crops are highlighted in the report on the Value of Production in Philippine
Agriculture and Fisheries that the PSA releases quarterly.
This 2022 Third Quarter issue of the Bulletin presents the final estimates of
production from April to June 2022 and the preliminary estimates from
July to September 2022. It also contains the final estimates of area
planted/harvested for the period January to June 2022. The data in the report are
the results of the Crops Production Survey (CrPS) which is conducted quarterly by
the PSA.

BACKGROUND1
Scope and Coverage
The Crops Production Survey (CrPS) is the source of production data of all crops,
except palay and corn. Around 280 crops are covered in this survey. For this bulletin,
information on nine major vegetables and root crops, namely, ampalaya fruit,
cabbage, cassava, eggplant, mung bean/mongo, onion, potato, sweet potato, and
tomato are reported.
Estimates of production and area planted/harvested are generated from the CrPS,
which is conducted quarterly. The CrPS covers all regions, except the National
Capital Region (NCR).
Sampling Methodology
The selection of sample farms in the province is done by categorizing small and
large farms. For large farms, a maximum of five farms are chosen for the whole
province. For small farms, the top five producing cities/municipalities of a certain
crop are chosen from each province. From each of these cities/municipalities, five
sample farmer-producers are selected as respondents. In this two-stage design,
city/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, that is, in February, May, August, and November. This survey
gathers data on production and area planted/harvested.

Concepts and Definitions of Terms
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. Excluded are those
produced but not harvested for whatever reason/s.
Area planted refers to the actual physical area planted measured in hectares.
This generally applies to area reported for permanent crops and multi-harvest
temporary crops.
Area harvested refers to 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.
