Main Components: 1 Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) - Quarterly 2 Monthly Palay and Corn Situation Reporting System (MPCSRS) - monthly monitoring of palay and corn crop situation 3 Palay and Corn Stocks Survey (PCSS1) - monthly survey of palay/rice and corn stocks Inventory

Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) Aims to generate estimates and forecasts on palay and corn production, area and yield, and other production-related statistics

Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) Coverage: 81 provinces Sample farming households in all sample barangays Domain: Province Sampling Frame: CAF Sampling Design: Two-Stage Stratified Replicated Sampling - PSU Barangay, selected using PPS - SSU Farm household, selected using systematic sampling Sample Size: Palay - Barangays Households 1,288 12,594

Palay and Corn Production Survey (PCPS) Data Collection Frequency: Quarterly (April, July, October, January) - First 10 days after reference quarter Method: Personal interview of sample farming households by Statistical Researcher using pre-structured questionnaires and being supervised by PSA personnel

Basic Information Collected: Production and area planted/harvested Monthly distribution of production and area harvested Production disposition/utilization Source of irrigation water Usage of seeds, fertilizer and pesticides Area with standing crop Planting intentions for the next quarter Awareness of program interventions and availment

Output: Estimates and forecasts on production, area harvested and yield per hectare for three quarters: - final crop estimates for the immediate past quarter - crop forecasts for the current quarter based on standing crop - crop forecast for the succeeding quarter based on farmers planting intentions
