FOREWORD

The Agricultural Indicators System (AIS) is one of the statistical indicator frameworks maintained by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). As part of the continuing effort of PSA to improve its products and services, the coverage of the AIS was reviewed to rationalize releases, merge related indicators and package these into reports with more emphasis on statistics and indicators related to the development of the agriculture sector. The AIS now comprises of eight (8) modules which will be updated and released annually. These modular reports provide measures for assessing socio-economic changes in the agriculture sector, characterizing the agrarian structure of the economy and situating agriculture in the national economy.

This is the fifth module entitled Agricultural Exports and Imports. It provides indicators on the performance of agricultural sector with respect to trade. It includes the volume and value of exports and imports of selected agricultural crops, share of agriculture in total foreign trade as well as the share of Philippine agricultural crops in the total world export trade. The reference years are 2015 to 2019.

The AIS aims to cover more agricultural development indicators to support the information needs of our data users. We encourage the readers to give their comments and suggestions on the improvement of the AIS, in general, and this report, in particular.

The trade performance of the country’s major agricultural commodities is described in terms of the year-on-year changes on the volume and value of agricultural export and import commodities. It also shows the contribution of the agricultural products in the country’s foreign trade and the share of selected agricultural commodities in the world export trade.

Agricultural Exports

Figure 1. Growth rates of value of all agricultural exports, Philippines, 2016-2019

(In percent) In 2019, the country’s export earnings from agricultural products reached PhP 345.77 billion, indicating an increase of 7.3 percent from the previous year’s record. This was an improvement from the decline recorded in 2018. The contribution of agricultural exports to the total export earnings in 2019 went up to 9.4 percent.

The exportation of rice in 2019 at 344.9 metric tons grew by 11.6 percent. However, its export value at PhP 26.83 million was reduced by 9.7 percent. Meanwhile, the volume of corn exports of 415.3 metric tons valued at PhP 62.83 million registered increases by 24.4 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively. The revenues generated from the rice and corn exports had minimal shares of less than 0.1 percent each to the total value of agricultural exports.

Banana remained as the leading agricultural export commodity in 2019. Its export volume of 4.40 million metric tons posted a 40.9 percent increment and the corresponding value at PhP 101.18 billion expanded by 39.0 percent. The 2019 share of banana to the total agricultural export earnings went up to 29.3 percent. Pineapple exports recovered from the negative performance in the previous year as its volume of 631,486 metric tons with value at PhP 16.82 billion were up by 61.1 percent and 94.5 percent, respectively. Consequently, this pushed up the share of pineapple export earnings to 4.9 percent in 2019. Similar trend was observed for mango exports whose volume of 14,212 metric tons improved by 4.8 percent and value of PhP 1.02 billion grew by 2.7 percent.

Its respective value of PhP 406.97 million grew by 13.1 percent and this comprised 0.1 percent of the total receipts from agricultural exports.

The revenues from the exportation of the other reference crops accounted for less than 0.1 percent share each to the country’s value of agricultural exports. Increasing volume and value of exports were reported in coconut, sugarcane, sweet potato, onion, potato, calamansi and mongo. On the other hand, cassava and coffee exhibited declining export volumes while their respective export values were increasing. For the other crops such as tomato, ampalaya and cabbage, there was no reported exportation in 2019 (Tables 1, 2, 2a and 2b).

and value of PhP 8.22 billion were lower by 54.9 percent and 47.7 percent, respectively. Its share to the country’s expenditure for agricultural imports dropped to 1.1 percent. The importation of rubber at 56,135 metric tons was 12.8 percent higher in 2019 while the import value of PhP 5.33 billion improved by 2.0 percent from the previous year’s record. Rubber imports comprised 0.7 percent in the total expenditures for agricultural imports. Meanwhile, a reduction in the importation of tobacco was observed in 2019 which volume at 53,134 metric tons contracted by 18.7 percent. Likewise, expenditures for tobacco imports declined to PhP 10.56 billion or by 28.2 percent. It exhibited a reduced share of 1.4 percent in the total import value of agricultural products. About 36,646 metric tons of mongo were imported in 2019, amounting to PhP 1.70 billion. Its volume was reduced by 4.1 percent, whereas, value increased by 10.6 percent. Mongo exports contributed 0.2 percent in the total value of agricultural imports. The imports of coffee at 35,091 metric tons valued at PhP 3.17 billion were down by 15.0 percent and 28.4 percent, respectively. This resulted to a decline in share to 0.4 percent of the total import expenditures for agricultural commodities. Other reference crops such as onion, potato, and cacao posted minimal shares of less than 0.1 percent in the total expenditures for agricultural imports. Potato exhibited increasing importation both in volume and value. In contrast, declining volume and value of imports were reported for onion and cacao. Meanwhile, mango, sugarcane, eggplant, ampalaya, and calamansi were not imported throughout the five reference years (Tables 1, 3, 3a and 3b).

The trade performance of the country’s major agricultural commodities is described in terms of the year-on-year changes on the volume and value of agricultural export and import commodities. It also shows the contribution of the agricultural products in the country’s foreign trade and the share of selected agricultural commodities in the world export trade.

Agricultural Exports

Figure 1. Growth rates of value of all agricultural exports, Philippines, 2016-2019

(In percent) In 2019, the country’s export earnings from agricultural products reached PhP 345.77 billion, indicating an increase of 7.3 percent from the previous year’s record. This was an improvement from the decline recorded in 2018. The contribution of agricultural exports to the total export earnings in 2019 went up to 9.4 percent.

The exportation of rice in 2019 at 344.9 metric tons grew by 11.6 percent. However, its export value at PhP 26.83 million was reduced by 9.7 percent. Meanwhile, the volume of corn exports of 415.3 metric tons valued at PhP 62.83 million registered increases by 24.4 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively. The revenues generated from the rice and corn exports had minimal shares of less than 0.1 percent each to the total value of agricultural exports.

Figure 3. Growth rates of value of selected agricultural exports, Philippines, 2019

(In percent)

Banana remained as the leading agricultural export commodity in 2019. Its export volume of 4.40 million metric tons posted a 40.9 percent increment and the corresponding value at PhP 101.18 billion expanded by 39.0 percent. The 2019 share of banana to the total agricultural export earnings went up to 29.3 percent. Pineapple exports recovered from the negative performance in the previous year as its volume of 631,486 metric tons with value at PhP 16.82 billion were up by 61.1 percent and 94.5 percent, respectively. Consequently, this pushed up the share of pineapple export earnings to 4.9 percent in 2019. Similar trend was observed for mango exports whose volume of 14,212 metric tons improved by 4.8 percent and value of PhP 1.02 billion grew by 2.7 percent. Mango exports accounted for 0.3 percent in the total value of agricultural exports.
