Crops Production Survey
The CrPS is conducted quarterly to generate production estimates for crops other than palay and corn at the national, regional and provincial levels disaggregation. Production data generated from the CrPS are inputs to the Performance of Agriculture Report (PAR) and to the preparation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Moreover, the survey aims to support the data needs of planners, policy and decision makers and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector, and to provide periodic updates on crop related developments. Of the 282 crops covered, the individual estimates of the 19 crops highlighted in the quarterly PAR are released at the national level, while the rest were lumped as Others. Provincial level estimates are available on an annual basis. The survey adopts two-stage sampling with the city/municipality as the primary sampling unit and the households as the secondary sampling unit.
