·  Value of Production Index (VaPI) continues to improve

Value of Production Index (VaPI) of the manufacturing industry gained 11.4 percent in February 2003 over the year-ago figure, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). The robust production was boosted by basic metals which grew by 99.0 percent and by ten (10) other sectors which also posted double-digit increases:leather products, petroleum products, wood and wood products, textile, food manufacturing, furniture and fixtures, beverage, nonmetallic mineral products, footwear and wearing apparel and rubber products (see Table 1-A).

VaPI likewise registered an increase of 1.7 percent compared to the previous month. The top six (6) sectors contributing to this growth were the following: furniture and fixtures, textile, electrical machinery, footwear and wearing apparel, beverage and wood and wood products (see Table 1-A).

·  Volume of Production Index (VoPI) posts lower growth

On a year-on-year basis, volume of Production Index (VoPI) climbed by 1.8 percent in February 2003, lower than the previous month's growth of 3.7 percent. The rise was brought about bybasic metals and wood and wood products which showed significant increases of 76.9 percent and 64.7 percent, respectively. Seven (7) other sectors also posted double-digit increases, namely: leather products, nonmetallic mineral products, textile, beverage, food manufacturing, furniture and fixtures and petroleum products (see Table 1-B).

On a monthly basis, VoPI recovered from its slump with a slight improvement of 1.4 percent in February 2003. Sectors that largely contributed to the lean growth were textile and furniture and fixtures (see Annex 1-B).

·  Value of net sales continued its increasing trend with a year-on-year growth of 17.5 percent in February 2003. Significant increases were registered by fifteen (15) sectors led by petroleum products and textile, posting 47.4 percent and 38.7 percent, respectively. Other sectors that registered increases were footwear and wearing apparel, furniture and fixtures, publishing and printing, food manufacturing, rubber products, machinery excluding electrical, beverage, paper and paper products, wood and wood products, chemical products, electrical machinery, fabricated metal products and transport equipment (see Table 2-A).

On a month-on-month comparison, value of net sales recorded a slight increase of 0.1 percent in February 2003. The minimal growth could be attributed to the double�digit growth of the following sectors: rubber products, textile, footwear and wearing apparel and machinery excluding electrical (see Table 2-A).

·  Net Sales Volume gains anew

Net sales volume continues to outpace the year-ago figure with a growth of 5.8 percent in February 2003. Sectors largely contributing to the improved sales performance were the following:wood and wood products, textile, publishing and printing, machinery excluding electrical, furniture and fixtures, nonmetallic mineral products, petroleum products, food manufacturing, footwear and wearing apparel and beverage (see Table 2-B).

On a month-on-month basis, however, volume of net sales tumbled by 0.6 percent in February 2003. Double-digit decreases were observed in the following sectors: leather products, basic metals, petroleum products, miscellaneous manufactures, printing and publishing andtobacco (see Table 2-B).

·  Producer's Price Index (PPI) increases further

Producers Price Index (PPI) for total manufacturing on a year-on-year comparison registered an increase of 9.4 percent in February 2003. Petroleum products topped all sectors that exhibited double-digit increases with 28.6 percent. Other sectors with double-digit increments were the following: footwear and wearing apparel, paper and paper products, electrical machinery, chemical products, rubber products, basic metals and leather products. (see Table 5).

Similarly, PPI on a month-on-month basis for total manufacturing went up by a slim 0.3 percent in February 2003. Sectors that posted increased growth rates were footwear and wearing apparel, petroleum products, wood and wood products, beverage, basic metals, chemical products, rubber products and furniture and fixtures (see Table 5).

·  Capacity Utilization

In February 2003, average capacity utilization for total manufacturing was estimated at 76.5 percent. Sectors that posted more than 80% capacity utilization rate were the following:machinery excluding electrical, footwear and wearing apparel and rubber products (see Table 6).

The proportion of responding establishments that operated at full capacity (90%-100%) in February 2003 was 22.5 percent. About 41.1 percent of the responding establishments operated at 70%-89% capacity and 36.5 percent of the establishments operated below 70% capacity.
