The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) granted clearance for the conduct of the 2022 Rice and Corn Stocks Survey: Household (RCSS:H), formerly known as the Palay and Corn Stocks Survey.
The 2022 RCSS:H aims to generate rice and corn stocks inventory held in the household sector. The survey provides information together with stocks information from the commercial and government sectors to monitor the rice and corn stocks situation of the food staples to ensure supply and demand equilibrium, access, and price stability. It serves as inputs to the estimation and compilation of the national accounts.
The survey will collect data on the volume of rice and corn stocks inventory owned by the households every first four days of the reference month. A total budget of PhP 17.7 million will be utilized to interview 16,535 households (10,880 farming and 5,655 non-farming) nationwide, except for the province of Batanes. As stipulated on the System of Designated Statistics (SDS), the PSA is scheduled to release the results of the survey 10 days after the reference month.
The detailed report of the latest results of the rice and corn inventory can be accessed at https://psa.gov.ph/ricor-stocks-main.
The 2022 RCSS:H was reviewed and cleared for conduct under the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS), a mechanism being implemented by the PSA by virtue of Rule 28 of Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 10625 to:
- ensure sound design for data collection;
- minimize the burden placed upon respondents;
- effect economy in statistical data collection;
- eliminate unnecessary duplication of statistical data collection efforts; and
- achieve better coordination of government statistical activities.
In line with this, the PSA enjoins sampled households to support the 2022 RCSS:H by providing the required information to authorized PSA interviewers who will visit the sampled farming and non-farming households to conduct a personal interview.
