FOREWORD
The Major Vegetables and Rootcrops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates on

production of major vegetables and rootcrops, namely, mung bean/mongo,
peanut, cabbage, eggplant, tomato, garlic, onion, sweet potato, and cassava.
These crops are highlighted in the report on the Performance of Agriculture that
the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) releases quarterly.
This fourth quarter 2018 issue of the Bulletin presents the final estimates
of production from July to September 2018 and the preliminary estimates from
October to December 2018. It also contains the preliminary estimates on area
planted/harvested for the period July to December 2018. The main source of data
is the Crops Production Survey (CrPS) conducted quarterly by PSA.

BACKGROUND1
Scope and Coverage
The Crops Production Survey (CrPS) is for all crops other than palay and corn.
Around 282 crops are covered by this survey. For this bulletin, information
on nine crops are reported. These crops are cabbage, cassava, eggplant,
garlic, mung bean/mongo, onion, peanut, sweet potato, and tomato.
Estimates of production and area planted/harvested 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 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 farmer-producers 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. This survey gathers data on production and area
planted/harvested.
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.

v
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.
