I. OVERVIEW
A. Background
Calamansi or calamondin is a fruit tree belonging to the citrus family. Its scientific name is Citrofortunella microcarpa W. (DTI, 2005).
Calamansi, which is native to the Philippines (DA, _____), is a good source of Vitamin C and
its juice is used as an ingredient or additive in various food preparations. It also possesses
medicinal values (BAS, 2003).
B. Contribution to the Economy
Calamansi's economic contribution is gradually increasing. For the period 1998 to 2008, calamansi recorded an average contribution of 0.73 percent to total value of agricultural crop production (increasing from 0.20 to 0.65 percent), and 0.35 percent to total value of agricultural sector output. (increasing from 0.10 to 0.31 percent). (See Annex 1.)
II. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
A. Production
1. World Production
a) Major producing countries. Based on FAO 2007 data, the Philippines is the
sixth top citrus producer (under not else specified or nes category), contributing 3
percent of world production (Figure 1). (Note: Cross-checking with BAS data, the
country’s contribution is solely calamansi.) From 1998 to 2007, the Philippines is
consistently among the top producers in the world, with an average share of 3
percent (Figure 2).

b) Productivity and Competitiveness. In the FAOSTAT, the country comparison in
terms of yield cannot be done because there is no disaggregated data on calamansi
alone. However, it should be noted that the Philippines was the sole commercial
exporter (DA, 2002). Thus, calamansi is technically competitive. Philippine
production has also steadily increased from 1998 to 2007, as shown in Figure 2.
2. Domestic Production
a) Major Producing Provinces. Mindoro Oriental is the biggest producer of
calamansi, contributing 59 percent to total production in 2008 (Figure 3).

b) Volume, Area Planted, and Productivity. Calamansi production went up due to
increases in area. However, yield fluctuations can be observed. The sudden
increase in production and yield in 2005 can be attributed to increased number of
bearing trees in Mindoro Oriental and Zamboanga Sibugay and control of aphids in
Nueva Ecija (BAS, 2006).

B. Supply and Demand
1. Supply
Supply and exports of calamansi have been increasing from 1998 to 2008 (Table 1 and Figure 7). It can be noted that export volume jumped from 8 MT in 2007 to 20 MT in 2008 (Figure 7) most probably due to increased market demand. Net food disposable is also increasing which indicates greater domestic demand.

1. Input Subsystem
Based from BAS 1998-2008 Cost and Returns data, the biggest cost driver is hired labor,
averaging 46% of total on-farm cost from 1998-2008.
Figure 11. On-farm major costs in calamansi production (in %), 1998-2008.
(Source: Generated using BAS data, 2009)
a) Seeds and seedlings, etc. Calamansi can be propagated by seeds or its vegetative
parts. It is best to buy planting materials from reliable sources, particularly from
the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) or BPI-accredited nurseries (DA, ___).
b) Fertilizer and pesticide. The increasing prices of fertilizer and pesticides are a
major concern. In calamansi production, inorganic fertilizer is the second cost
driver with an average share of 10 percent of the total production cost from 1998 to
2008.
c) Agricultural Machinery. The small-scale production of calamansi requires not
much investment in machineries. Rental of machines, tools, and equipment is only
0.08 percent to total production cost. Harvesting is either by hand or by using a
pair of scissors (DA, ____).
d) Labor. Labor is considered the biggest cost driver, accounting to an average share
of 46 percent and 9 percent of total production cost, for hired labor and for
operator and family labor, respectively.
2. Production Subsystem
About 42.4 percent of the farmers operated farms with areas of 0.25 hectare and below. Only
14.6 percent reported farm sizes of 1 to 3 hectares. Farms measuring more than 3 hectares were
cultivated by 7.6 percent (BAS, 1999).
9
In Leyte and Quezon, farm sizes of 0.25 hectare and below shared the highest, with 61 to 64
percent reporting. In contrast, farms in Mindoro Oriental were relatively large measuring at least 1
hectare. The average size of calamansi farms was 0.92 hectare. Mindoro Oriental had the biggest
farms averaging 2.14 hectares while Quezon had the smallest farms averaging 0.39 hectare (BAS,
1999).
In 2002, NSO reported a total 95,388 calamansi farms with 5,627,090 trees, an increase from
5,483,565 trees in 1991.
3. Marketing Subsystem
The calamansi industry is composed of growers, assemblers, distributors, bodega owners/operators, buyers, and processors. Most of the volume are brought to trading centers (e.g., in Mindoro Oriental, Guimaras, and Quezon). From the trading centers, calamansi is distributed within and outside the supply provinces. Metro Manila is a big demand area (BAS, 2003).
The geographic flows and market channels will give a picture of the market practices for
calamansi. Figures 12 and 13 show the geographic flows and market channels for calamansi in
Mindoro Oriental and Quezon, respectively (BAS, 2003).
Figure 12. Geographic flow and marketing channels for calamansi in Mindoro Oriental, 2001.

Figure 13. Geographic flow and marketing channels for calamansi in Quezon, 2001.
4. Processing Subsystem
Calamansi is processed into juice, concentrate, and dried. However, most of our processed
exports are in the form of juice. Figure 14 shows is the process of making calamansi concentrate
(DOST, ___).
Figure 14. Calamansi-sugar concentrate processing flow.
11
The calamansi processing industry has potential for growth if the processing technology is
promoted more. Calamansi producers would be able to earn more if they themselves would
venture into processing. This can be done either individually or collectively (e.g., through
cooperatives).
5. Support Subsystem
Support for the fruit industry comes from government and nongovernment/private institutions.
The Department of Agriculture, through its GMA-HVCC banner program, provides a
comprehensive package which includes Production Support Services, Market Development
Services, Credit Facilitation Services, Irrigation Development Services, Other Infrastructure/
Postharvest Development Services, Extension Support, Education and Training Services,
Research and Development, Regulatory Services, Information Support Services, Policy
Formulation, Planning, and Advocacy Services. Moreover, various donor countries or agencies
have also provided support, both technical and financial assistance.
D. Prices
1. Domestic Prices
Farmgate, wholesale, and retail prices of calamansi are generally increasing from 1998 to 2008 although there are some fluctuations. Comparing price ratios of 1998 and 2007, farmers are gainers. However, compared with 2008 ratios, farmers are losers.

2. Price Formation/Differentiation
Based on various BAS reports (BAS, ____) Price is set by the big traders and bodega
owner/operator .
In Mindoro, prices of calamansi are set by the bodega owner/operator. Prices are based on the
volume of deliveries, number of buyers and the quality of calamansi.
Further, one of the bases is the previous night’s last price. For instance, if calamansi was
priced at Php 600 in the previous night and there were many buyers and a larger volume of
deliveries, they will set the price at Php 600-Php 650 for each kaing. Calamansi fruits (lagihay)
are priced almost half that of the green calamansi.
In Mindanao, big orchard owners and big distributors rely on the prices dictated by Cagayan
de Oro buyers who send a notice few days before actual sales.
Davao City buyers offer higher prices than that of Cagayan de Oro, buy medium to large
farmer owners and Tagum provincial distributors preferred Cagayan de Oro buyers due to their
regularity and volume of procurement establishing a strong suki relationship.
Wholesale prices at Tagum Trading Center are dictated by the big distributor due to his access
to CDO and Davao City prices.
Retail prices of regular retailers were based from price given by big and medium distributors.
However, farmers engaged in direct retailing give their own prices based from his observations
but are always lower than that of the regular retailers.

and in nearby towns.
E. SWOT Analysis
The SWOT analysis of the calamansi industry is as follows (DA, 2002):
Strengths
• Year-round production
• Availability of technical experts and skilled manpower
• Compatibility with intercropping system
• High potential yield with improved management
Weaknesses
• Lack of quality standards
• inefficient marketing system
• Inadequate infrastructure such as farm-to-market roads
• Lack of upgraded processing facilities/packaging materials
• Difficult access to credit facilities – due to collateral and other requirements
• Susceptibility to greening disease & Tristeza virus
• lack of information and knowledge on the proper production and postharvest technology
Opportunities
• Philippines is the sole exporter of calamansi
• Expanding product lines (calamansi candy, calamansi leather/chewables, etc.)
• Favorable agro-climatic conditions
• Presence of large domestic market
Threats
• inability to control destructive pests and diseases – which can be due to high cost of pesticide
• Drought (El Niño) and other calamities
• Competition with other fruits/citrus
Other perceived problems mentioned are (BAS, 2003):
• Abundant supply and low quality of calamansi being produced by the farmers resulted to
lower price. One farmer stated that he lacks information and knowledge on the proper
production and postharvest technology.
• Creditors did not pay their loan or sometimes the payment for the commodities is delayed.
• A large percentage of wastage in bringing calamansi from the farm to the market because of
the poor condition of the farm to market roads.
• Lack of capital to finance the buying and selling of calamansi.
Other marketing problems such as frequent price fluctuation, absence of permanent stalls,
availability of shipping lines, too many competitors, presence of imported lemon in the market
and alleged “tong” given to different authorities.
