MARINDUQUE PROVINCIAL STATISTICAL OFFICE. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Marinduque Provincial Statistical Office (PSO) is currently conducting the February 2025 Re-designed Rice and Corn  Stocks Survey:  Commercial (RCSS: C) and Enhanced Rice and Corn 
Stocks Survey: Household (RCSS:H), from February 1 – 5, 2025. 

The Re-designed RCSS:C and Enhanced RCSS: H are monthly surveys  that collect data on rice, corn grain, and corn grits stocks from commercial  establishments,  households, and    non-commercial granaries as of  6:00 AM of the first day of each month. The data gathered, along with  household and government stocks, aids in monitoring the supply and  demand of the food staples, ensuring price stability and access. These  surveys also support national accounts estimation, guide policymakers on rice imports during emergencies, and assist government planners and  stakeholders, such as NEDA, NFA, DA, and the public, in developing social and economic policies. Additionally, the RCSS: C focuses on rice and corn stock inventories in the commercial sector at the national and regional levels, comparing current stock levels with those from the same period in the previous year and the previous month. Together, these surveys help provide a comprehensive view of the stock situation and support effective decision-making in the agriculture sector. 

PSA Marinduque hired seven Statistical Researchers (SRs) to conduct personal interviews with 80 sample establishments from the 43 sample barangays and 171 sample households from 12 sample barangays across the province.

In line with this, the sample establishments are encouraged to continuously support and participate in this nationwide undertaking by providing accurate and necessary information.
