TECHNICAL NOTES Production refers to the quantity produced and actually harvested for a particular crop during the reference period. For other crops, area planted refers to the actual physical area planted while area harvested refers to the actual area from which harvests are realized. Estimates of production and area planted/harvested are generated from the Quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) of which there are four survey rounds in a year, that is, February, May, August, and November.

Mongo
For January-March 2016, production of mongo was estimated at 7.35 thousand mt. This was 0.7 percent higher than last year’s 7.30 thousand mt brought about by the following factors: o o o o
P – Preliminary
more utilization of areas previously planted with palay in Tarlac, Antique, and Iloilo; seeds distribution by the Department of Agriculture-Local Government Units (DA-LGU) in Bulacan; lesser occurrence of downy mildew and pod rot diseases in Ilocos Sur; and better pods harvested due to early control of bean fly, thrips, and aphids in Ilocos Norte.
Lower production was noted in Pangasinan due to shifting to yellow corn production attributed to availability of hybrid planting material (Hybrid Sweet Purple).
Ilocos Region topped all the mongo producing regions with 2.96 thousand mt contributing 40.3 percent share to the national output. This was followed by Western Visayas with 19.6 percent share and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) with 10.3 percent (Figure 2).

Peanut
The first quarter 2016 production of peanut at 11.04 thousand mt was 7.8 percent lower than last’s years 11.98 thousand mt. The drop in output was caused by the following: o o o o
decrease in area planted in Pangasinan due to unavailability of seeds; damages brought by Typhoon “Nona” during pod development in Cagayan; lesser area planted coupled with lower yield due to drought in SOCCSKSARGEN and intense heat in Iloilo; and shifting of some areas to mongo production in Tarlac due to increase in demand.
Ilocos Region recorded the highest production at 6.78 thousand mt and shared 61.3 percent to total peanut production this quarter. Northern Mindanao came next with 6.8 percent followed by Western Visayas with 6.5 percent (Figure 4).

Cabbage
In January-March 2016, cabbage production decreased by 1.0 percent, from 32.64 thousand mt in 2015 to 32.31 thousand mt this year. The negative output was attributed to the following: o o
Higher production in some areas were due to the following: o o o
P – Preliminary
lesser area planted due to insufficient water supply caused by dry spell in Benguet and drought in SOCCSKSARGEN; and temporarily shifting to lettuce production in Mountain Province to minimize the attack of pests.
increase in yield attributed to enough supply of irrigation water in Cebu; additional area planted in Cagayan due to availability of seeds and financial assistance from private lenders; and expansion in area and control of diamondback moth in Ilocos Sur.
Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) produced 24.91 thousand mt and contributed 77.1 percent to total cabbage production during the reference period (Figure 6).

During the January–March 2016 period, production of eggplant slightly decreased by 0.2 percent, from 76.50 thousand mt in 2015 to 76.36 thousand mt this year. Among the factors that contributed to the decline were the following: o o o
Positive growths were noted in some areas due to: o
o
P- Preliminary
o o
insufficient supply of water during the vegetative stage of the crop coupled with the attack of fruit borer in Quezon; some areas planted to eggplant in Isabela and Nueva Ecija were flooded due to Typhoon “Nona”; and lesser area planted and lower yield in SOCCSKSARGEN due to drought.
shifting of some areas from white corn to eggplant production in Pangasinan due to availability of seeds from DA-LGU coupled with the control of fruit flies; sustained usage of high yielding varieties distributed by DA-LGU in Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur; more areas were utilized due to non-planting of 2nd crop palay in Iloilo; and improved yield in Tarlac due to efficient use of fertilizer.
The major producers of eggplant and their respective shares were Ilocos Region, 37.6 percent; CALABARZON, 18.6 percent; and Central Luzon, 15.4 percent (Figure 8).

Tomato
Production of tomato in the first quarter of 2016 reached 87.68 thousand mt. This was 2.5 percent lower than the 89.93 thousand mt level in 2015. The drop in output was brought about by the following: o o o o
Increases in production were reported in some areas due to: o o o
decrease in contract growing scheme of Northern Foods Corporation (NFC) in Ilocos Sur while some areas were shifted to yellow corn production. lesser area planted in Pangasinan due to low price last year; wilting of flowers due to intermittent rains and intense heat in Quezon; and lesser area planted in Bukidnon due to dry spell.
efficient use of fertilizer in Nueva Ecija resulting to bigger fruits harvested; seeds distribution by DA-LGU in Bulacan; and utilization of areas not planted with palay during the second cropping season in Iloilo.
Ilocos Region, the top producer recorded production of 38.07 thousand mt and shared 43.4 percent to the national total. Central Luzon followed with 19.3 share and CALABARZON with 12.6 percent (Figure 10).

Cassava
In the first quarter 2016, production of cassava grew by 7.3 percent, from 541.39 thousand mt in 2015 to 580.82 thousand mt this year. The positive growth was attributed to the following: o o o
Lower production were noted in some areas due to the following: o o
11
smaller tubers harvested in Bukidnon, Misamis Occidental, Tawi-tawi, and Sulu due to the effect of dry spell; and lesser area planted in South Cotabato due to drought.
Northern Mindanao recorded the biggest production at 182.88 thousand mt and shared 31.50 percent to the country’s cassava output. Cagayan Valley followed with 17.6 percent share, and ARMM with 16.9 percent (Figure 20).
Figure 11. Garlic production by region, Philippines, January-March 2016
increase in demand for feeds use from cassava feed millers and marketing assistance from San Miguel Corporation in Isabela, Cagayan, and Quirino. bigger tubers harvested in Bohol due to use of high yielding variety (Rayong); and expansion in area planted in Leyte due to technical assistance such as good farm management practices conducted by non-governmental organizations (NGO).

Garlic
For the first quarter of 2016, garlic production was estimated at 7.86 thousand mt, 19.4 percent lower than last year’s 9.75 thousand mt. The decrease was attributed to the following: o
o
in Ilocos Norte, smaller bulbs were harvested due to unfavorable weather condition which affected bulb formation. Some areas were shifted to yellow corn and peanut production due to low price during the planting season; and lesser areas were planted in Occidental Mindoro because of anticipation of El Niño.
Ilocos Region contributed 70.3 percent share to the country’s total output (Figure 12).

Red and Yellow Onion
For January-March 2016 period, production of red and yellow onion dropped by 47.3 percent, from 96.06 thousand mt in 2015 to 50.60 thousand mt this year. The decline in output could be accounted to the following: o
o o o
in Nueva Ecija, there were damages on standing crops due to Typhoon “Lando” in October 2015. Some replantings done in December were also damaged by Typhoon “Nona” in the same month. The attack of army worms also affected the drop in production in the same province. damages on seedlings caused by Typhoon “Nona” in Oriental Mindoro; lesser area planted in Occidental Mindoro due to oversupply last year that resulted to low price; and drop in yield in Pangasinan due to bulb rot disease.
Central Luzon registered the biggest production at 38.49 thousand mt which represented 76.1 percent of the country’s onion production. The other major producing regions were Cagayan Valley with 13.8 percent share and Ilocos Region with 6.1 percent (Figure 14).
