Abstract
Launched in 1968 under the Agricultural Marketing News Service (AMNEWSS), monitoring of retail prices of agricultural commodities is a continuing activity of the Agricultural Marketing Statistics Analysis Division (AMSAD) of the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS). Its main responsibility is to gather and disseminate timely, reliable and accurate information on prices. Retail prices are important determinants of supply and demand levels. They influence decisions related to the type and volume of agricultural production activity and provide guidelines for policy formulation and executive action. Therefore, collection and compilation of retail prices deserve careful attention to be more meaningful to its intended users. The continuously increasing requirement for market price statistics has prompted the Bureau to look for more innovative means of monitoring this information. Hence, the implementation of the integrated AGMARIS-AMNEWSS.
The general objective of integrated AGMARIS-AMNEWSS 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 price survey of retail prices 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.

Retail prices of agricultural goods. (Retail prices are prices at which retailers sell their goods or commodities to consumers in the marketplace.)Scope
Notes
MARKET: Generally the main public markets within the provincial capital or key city. In provinces with more than one (1) market, additional markets for monitoring are selected based on the following criteria: 1) Size of the market in terms of volume traded; 2) Floor area of wet market; 3) Number of traders and consumer patronage; and 4) Strategic location along main roads and intersections and accessible to main transport routes.COMMODITY: The agricultural products referred to as the Provincial Retail Market Basket (PRMB), for which retail prices are to be collected are listed in the retail price collection forms. The number of commodities monitored in the different markets varies by province. A province can have as many as 77 to 139 commodities covered for retail prices. Generally, the following are the major criteria for the selection of commodities in the PRMB: 1) Included in retail market baskets of the National Statistics Office (NSO) and the National Wage Productivity Commission (NWPC); 2) Prices are frequently requested by researchers; 3) Priority crop/item in the province; and 4) Prices are regularly aired over radio. The following are the criteria in the selection of commodities to be monitored: 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 or strongly controlled commodity systems; 5) Considerable price fluctuations; and 6) Priority commodity in the province 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.
