Agricultural production declined 0.3% year-on-year in the primary quarter, driven by lower crop and fisheries output, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said.<\/p>\n
The PSA reported that the worth of production in agriculture and fisheries at constant 2018 prices fell to P437.52 billion in the primary quarter from P438.65 billion a yr earlier.<\/p>\n
The decline was a turnaround from the two.1% growth in farm output posted in the primary quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n
This was also the most important drop in output for the reason that 1.9% decline recorded within the fourth quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n
The downturn within the farm sector\u2019s performance was driven by declines in crops (minus 2.4%) and fisheries (minus 6.1%), which offset the expansion in poultry (7.1%) and livestock (5.1%).<\/p>\n
At current prices, the worth of production in agriculture and fisheries also fell 2.4% year- on-year to P607.22 billion in the primary quarter.<\/p>\n
Crop output, which accounted for 55.7% of the overall value of agricultural production, fell 2.4% to P243.62 billion in the primary quarter. This was a turnaround from the 1% increase in the identical period in 2025.<\/p>\n
Fishery output, which accounted for 12% of overall production, fell 6.1% to P52.34 billion in the primary quarter.
Meanwhile, the poultry sector, which accounted for 18.5% of total farm output, jumped 7.1% in the primary quarter to P80.83 billion.<\/p>\n
Livestock production grew 5.1% to P60.74 billion. The sector accounted for 13.9% of total output. \u2014 Vonn Andrei E.
