Commercial Stocks Survey

The Commercial Stocks Survey (CSS) was a project by the then National Grains Authority (NGA) now National Food Authority (NFA) in 1976. The project was designed to get estimates of the total commercial grain stocks specifically on rice and corn. The survey was regularly conducted by the NFA until its recognition as an official government statistics by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) in January 1980. The information on Philippine rice and corn stocks inventory are sourced out from the data gathered from the households, commercial and government sectors. The household stocks inventory is estimated through the Palay and Corn Stocks Survey (PCSS) of the PSA while the commercial stocks inventory is taken from the CSS which was previously conducted by NFA. On the other hand, the government stocks inventory is taken from the NFA warehouses/depositories. The PSA consolidates the stocks inventories from these three sectors and disseminates it monthly through its publication of Special Release on Rice and Corn Stocks Inventory. These information are inputs to planners and policy makers in formulating programs and policies on food security.
