Abstract
The general objective of the survey is to implement a comprehensive and responsive marketing information system for unprocessed agricultural commodities traded in major local/provincial market centers as well as in strategic terminal markets throughout the country. Specifically, the survey aims to: 1) conduct surveys of wholesale market prices and other relevant marketing information at various frequencies at pre-determined major trading centers throughout the country; 2) immediately process information at the field level and thereafter disseminate these particularly to the farmers; 3) operationalize an information exchange subsystem among Provincial Operations Centers; 4) publish and disseminate national level reports for policy makers and other interested groups or persons; 5) conduct periodic evaluation of the system that will be the basis for planning improvements on AGMARIS implementation; 6) establish linkages with national and provincial media;7) conduct statistical analysis of quantitative market information being generated.The survey covers two (2) types of prices: 1) wholesale buying prices, and 2) wholesale selling prices.

Wholesale prices of agricultural commoditiesScope
Notes
MARKET: Wholesale buying prices are being collected in 53 provinces while wholesale selling prices are being collected in 42 provinces. For most provinces, the selection of markets was based on the results of surveys, which considered the volume of commodities traded, the number of market days and other relevant market information. The following criteria are used in the selection of markets or trading centers for wholesale price survey: CROPS 1) First point of sale or “bagsakan” within the province recognized by both farmers and traders; 2) site of active trading or substantial quantities of varied commodities; 3) accessible to major crossroads and market infrastructure; and 4) strategically located relative to production areas. FISH 1) Fish landing area within the province recognized by small fishermen and traders; and 2) site of active trading of substantial quantities of varied fish species. LIVESTOCK 1) Established “oksyon” market within the province as recognized by both raisers and traders; and 2) site of active trading of substantial number of livestock.COMMODITY: Wholesale buying prices are monitored for 41 commodities while collection of wholesale selling prices is done for 63 commodities. As a rule in wholesale price data collection, a commodity cannot be covered in both types of wholesale price monitoring in the same trading center. The list of commodities for wholesale price monitoring for each POC is referred to as the Provincial Wholesale Market Basket (PWMB). The following are the criteria in the selection of commodities to be covered: CROPS 1) National priority among food commodities; 2) Substantial quantities marketed by many farmers and brought by the traders; 3) High value commodity with strong potential demand; 4) Not dominant estate crops nor strongly controlled commodity systems; 5) Considerable price fluctuations; and 5) Priority commodity in the provinces as expressed by the local government. FISH 1) Marine species (unprocessed); 2) Available year round; and 3) Substantial volume of fish catch marketed by many fishermen and bought by many fish traders. LIVESTOCK 1) Substantial quantities marketed by many livestock raisers and brought by many traders; 2) High value commodity with strong demand; and 3) Traded in a significant number of livestock “oksyon” markets (LOMs) in the province.
