TECHNICAL NOTES

Data on crops presented in this special release were obtained from the Crops Production Survey (CrPS) conducted in the province by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-Provincial Statistical Office (PSO). Crops Production Survey is a quarterly survey which aims to generate basic production statistics for crops other than palay and corn at the national and sub-national levels. The survey covers more than 280 crops sub-classified under three (3) commodity groupings, namely: 1) Non-Food and Industrial Crops 2) Fruit Crops and 3) Vegetables and Rootcrops. The commodity depends on what the province produces. The respondents of the survey were top farmer/producers of fruit trees, vegetables, non-food and industrial crops. The generated quarterly production of all sectors was included in the quarterly data review and validation. After data validation, production estimates are made available to data users.
