Agricultural Survey Series Information
The Monthly Palay and Corn Situation Reporting System (MPCSRS) is conducted by the PSA on a monthly basis except for the months when the Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) is being conducted (January, April, July, and October).
The monthly series of data covers February, March, May, June, August, September, and November. The MPCSR started in 1985 by the then Bureau of Agricultural Statistics. The initial coverage was the major palay producing provinces only until it was implemented in all provinces nationwide in 2009.
In order to provide more reliable updates on the standing crop and actual plantings, improvements were introduced in the design of the MPCSRS with respect to the data collection schedule, coverage, data items, questionnaire layout, estimations and data processing. These enhancements were enforced starting February 2009.

Abstract
The Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) is one of the major agricultural surveys conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). This is conducted in two modules, the Palay Production Survey (PPS) and the Corn Production Survey (CPS). The data gathered from both modules include actual harvests for the current period and forecasts for the next quarters based on standing crop and planting intention. Forecast data are subject to changes depending on weather conditions, inputs and outputs, prices and other factors which contribute largely to the deviations of the actual data from the early forecasts. In such case, a close monitoring of the growing conditions and actual plantings of the crop is deemed necessary. This is done through the Monthly Palay and Corn Situation Reporting System (MPCSRS).
The MPCSRS primarily aims to:
1. Update the estimate of the current quarter based on standing crop and forecast for the next quarter based on planting intentions; and
2. Provide monthly updates on area and production of palay and corn across the country.
Kind of Data
Sample survey data [ssd]
Units of Analysis
Palay and corn farming households
Scope
Notes
The data gathered include updates of forecasts based on standing crop and actual plantings by ecosystem/type (palay) and seed type/seed class (corn), by stage of crop growth and crop damages. In the event of unusual factors affecting the crop situation in the province during the reference period, the Provincial Statistics Officers (PSOs) take the initiative to include crop damages in their report.
