PHL-BAS-WCFPM-2010-v2.0
The demand for timely information for palay/rice and corn prices by the Department of Agriculture (DA) necessitated the development and implementation of the Weekly Cereals and Fertilizer Price Monitoring (WCFPM) by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) in 1989. To this day, the activity is being sustained and serves as source of the memorandum on weekly updates on cereal prices which is being submitted to the Office of the Secretary. Other data users have also access to the report. WCFPM is also the source of the monthly memorandum on dealers' prices of fertilizers.

Sampling
The sample respondents for the farm prices are chosen purposively within the province. Respondents should be at least 5 farmers, traders and/or grains warehouses for each type of cereal. Information are gathered from farmers who sold their palay/corn and/or from traders and grains warehouses (with or without mills) who bought palay/corn from farmers during the reference period.
For both wholesale and retail prices, at least five (5) samples are also chosen purposively per commodity item, per collection day, per market or collection point. Five (5) sacks at wholesale and five (5) boxes at retail shall be considered for each respondent. Although the collection form reflects a maximum of seven (7) boxes,this boxes represents the prices monitored according to the type and varities of rice, this applies more to relatively large markets as in the case of Metro Manila.
For dealers' prices of fertilizers, the required number of samples is at least 3 dealers per item per province if there are more than 3 dealers throughout the province; otherwise, all dealers of inputs should be interviewed.

Data Processing
Editing, encoding and generation of monthly provincial reports are done in the POCs. Prior to encoding, the accomplished questionnaires are manually edited for validity and consistency. The data files undergo validation using an editing program based on pre-set validation criteria such as consistency check, range check and acceptability and validity of data.
Data Appraisal
The review of data on weekly cereals and fertilizers prices is done in the Provincial Operation Centers and Central Office against the following indicators: 1) consistency with trends; 2) possible inputting errors; and 3) abrupt changes.
The observations of the Market Reporters in the market as to the supply situations and other developments during the actual interview are also utilized in the review of the data.
