I. The Introduction
The value of production in agriculture and fisheries focuses on the measurement of the whole sector and its commodity group (crops, livestock, poultry, and fisheries). The value of production is at constant 2018 prices and at current prices. These serve as input in the estimation of the Gross Value Added (GVA) in Agriculture and Fishing.
In response to more granular data, Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) is being compiled. PPA for all the 14 provinces in the three pilot regions, namely: MIMAROPA Region, Central Visayas, and Northern Mindanao were released in 2021. For 2022, CAR, CALABARZON, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Davao Region, and SOCCSKARGEN were the six (6) additional regions of PPA. Meanwhile, the provinces for the seven (7) regions: Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Caraga, Caraga, BARMM, and Caraga will be compiled for 2023.
As input in the estimation of PPA, specifically GVA in Agriculture and Fishing, Provincial Value of Production in Agriculture and Fisheries will to be generated.
II. Data Sources
The generation of the provincial value of production requires data on volume of production and farmgate prices. These data are sourced from the following PSA surveys and administrative-based records from other government agencies:
| Variable | Source |
| 1. Volume of Production by commodity | |
| a. Crops | Palay Production Survey (PPS) |
| Corn Production Survey (CPS) | |
| Crops Production Survey (CrPS) | |
| b. Livestock and Poultry by commodity | Backyard Livestock and Poultry Survey (BLPS) |
| Commercial Livestock and Poultry Survey (CLPS) | |
| c. Fisheries | Quarterly Municipal Fisheries Survey (QMFS) |
| Quarterly Inland Fisheries Survey (QIFS) | |
| Quarterly Commercial Fisheries Survey (QCFS) | |
| Quarterly Aquaculture Survey (QAqS) | |
| 2. Farmgate Prices | |
| a. Crops | Farm Prices Survey (FPS) |
| b. Livestock and Poultry | BLPS and CLPS |
| c. Fisheries | QMFS |
| QIFS | |
| QCFS | |
| QAqS | |
| 3. Administrative Data | |
| a. Volume of Production of Centrifugal Sugar and Raw Sugar | Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) |
| b. Number of Slaughtered/ Dressed Animals | National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) |
| c. Number of Slaughtered/ Dressed Animals | Local Government Units (LGUs) |
| d. Volume and Value of Commercial Fish Unloadings | Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA), Local Government Units (LGUs) and Privately Managed Landing Centers |
| e. Volume and Value of Municipal Fish Unloadings | Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) and Local Government Units (LGUs) |
III. Methodology
The valuation of production in agriculture and fisheries by province is being prepared annually. It is done as follows:
At Constant 2018 Prices
Valuation at constant prices is done by multiplying the volume of production of each commodity by the 2018 average farmgate price.
At Current Prices
Valuation at current prices is done by multiplying the volume of production of each commodity by the average farmgate price during the reference period.
IV. Concepts and Definition of Terms
Value of Production at Constant Prices - refers to valuation of transactions, wherein the influence of price changes from the base year to the current year has been removed.
Value of Production at Current Prices - is the value based on prices during the reference period.
V. Dissemination of Results
The Provincial Value of Production in Agriculture and Fisheries is being released annually on the PSA website. The schedule of release are as follows:
| Provincial Value of Production in Agriculture and Fisheries Report | Schedule of Release |
| 2020 to 2022 | |
| CAR, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA Region, Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, and SOCCSKSARGEN | November 2023 |
| 2018 to 2022 | |
| Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Bicol Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Caraga and BARMM | November 2023 |
