EXPLANATORY NOTES

The Major Fruit Crops Quarterly Bulletin provides updates on production, area and bearing trees statistics of four (4) major fruits, namely, banana, mango, pineapple and calamansi. These crops are highlighted in the report on the Performance of Agriculture which is released quarterly by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS). This 2nd quarter 2011 issue of the Bulletin final estimates of production in January-March 2011, preliminary estimates of production in April-June 2011, preliminary estimates of production, area planted and number of bearing trees in January-June 2011. The source of data is the quarterly Crops Production Survey (CrPS) of the BAS.

April-June 2011

Banana. Total production for the 2nd quarter of 2011 declined by 0.32 percent

to 2,512 thousand mt from the level of 2,520 thousand mt in the same period

of 2010 (Table 1). This was mainly due to damages brought by typhoons in

Luzon. The production loss was largely contributed by Cagayan Valley which

recorded a 22.29 percent contraction in output, equivalent to about 40

thousand mt (Table 3). A large number of bearing hills in this region were

destroyed by Typhoon Juan last November and have not yet fully recovered.

Bicol Region also suffered production losses of 4.86 percent due to Typhoon

Bebeng. In Mindanao, Caraga’s production fell by 9.34 percent due to low yield

and cutting of less productive while in Northern Mindanao, production went

down by 2.17 percent because some farmers in Lanao del Norte joined the

coconut planting program of the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA).

Typhoons Juan and Bebeng in Luzon have adversely affected production of

saba, latundan and bungulan varieties. Saba production, which accounted 28

percent of the total banana output went down by 2.34 percent (Figure 1.)

Cavendish and lacatan variety with respective shares of 53 percent and 10

percent in total banana production, increased by 0.90 percent and 0.56

percent, respectively. The increases were attributed to increased number of

bearing hills and harvest area in Davao Region, additional area in plantation

farms of STANFILCO in SOCCSKSARGEN and higher yield in ARMM.

Banana production by region for the 2nd quarter of 2011 was shown in Figure 2.

Most of the big banana producers were located in Mindanao, namely, Davao

Region, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, and ARMM. Cagayan Valley was the

only top producing region from Luzon during the 2nd quarter. CAR, Ilocos Region,

Central Luzon and Bicol Region produced less than 20,000 mt each during the

quarter.

Calamansi. Production in the 2nd quarter of 2011 was recorded at 23,515 mt. This

was lower by 0.27 percent compared to last year’s output of 23,579 mt (Table 1).

The early onset of the rainy season adversely affected the calamansi trees in

MIMAROPA, Caraga and other regions. In Davao Region, production was 8.57

lower than last year’s output of 2,160 mt due to land conversion. The

increased mining activities in this region also affected the availability of hired

labor for the maintenance of calamansi farms (Table 4).

MIMAROPA recorded the highest calamansi output in the 2nd quarter of 2011

(Figure 3). More than 4,000 mt of calamansi were produced in this region,

accounting for 45 percent of the national production. Other major producing

regions were Central Luzon and Zamboang Peninsula with production ranging

from 2,001 mt to 3,000 mt during the 2nd quarter of 2011. In the Visayas

regions, production was less than 1,000 mt. CAR, Ilocos Region, CALABARZON,

Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, Caraga and ARMM also recorded production

of below 1,000 mt each during the 2nd quarter of 2011.

Mango. Total mango production fell by 4.87 percent to 687,469 mt in the 2nd

quarter of 2011 (Table 1). Carabao variety which comprised 81 percent of the

total production went down by 5.27 percent to 423, 853 mt (figure 4). Flower

induction was observed to have slowed down during the cropping season due

to unpredictable weather and high costs of inputs. Zamboanga Peninsula,

CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Central Luzon managed to post increases but

these were not sufficient to offset the production losses in other regions.

The bulk of the country’s mango production came from Luzon, specifically, in

Ilocos Region which produced more than 100,000 mt of mangoes. However,

the production levels in Mindanao especially in Zamboanga Peninsula and

SOCCSKSARGEN were not far behind the performance in Central Luzon and

CALABARZON (Figure 5).

Pineapple. Total production of pineapple during the 2nd quarter of 2011

was estimated at 614,146 mt, up by 8.55 percent from 2010 (Table 1). The

increase was attributed to larger area harvested in corporate farms such as

Del Monte, Lapanday, Mt. Kitanglad Agri-Development Corp (MKDC), Asian

Hybrid, Davao Ventures Corporation (DAVCO) and Dole in Northern

Mindanao.

Production in Northern Mindanao during the 2nd quarter of 2011 reached

293,551 mt, 19.60 percent higher than the 245,442 mt posted a year ago

(table 6). It recorded the highest pineapple production during the reporting

period, sharing 48 percent of the national production (Figure 6). In Davao

Region, pineapple production also increased significantly by 31.47 percent

because of higher yield in replanted areas in Davao City. Bigger fruits were

harvested in Western and Central Visayas as a result of sufficient soil

moisture. Pineapple production in Bicol Region improved by 4.89 percent

due to recovery from dry spell.

January-June 2011

Banana. Production in the first half of 2011 was 4,619 thousand mt, 1.04

percent above than its year ago level. Production of cavendish and lacatan

varieties increased by 2.20 percent and 1.88 percent, respectively. The growth

in cavendish production was attributed to the continues expansion of

commercial farms in Mindanao.

Area planted to banana during the first half of 2011 was 446,662 hectares, 0.47

percent over the 444,580 hectares in 2010. Number of bearing hills went up by

1.45 percent, from 270.507 million hills in 2010 to 274.435 million hills in 2011.

Calamansi. The January-June production was reported at 44,233 mt, lower by

0.84 percent compared to the previous year’s recordd of 44,608 mt. Land

conversions in Davao Region as well as the unfavourable weather in

MIMAROPA caused the decrease in production. Area planted to calamansi

grew by 0.86 percent to 21,006 hectares in 2011. The number of bearing trees

also increased by 2.41 percent to 9.246 million trees from 9.029 million trees

the previous year.

Mango. Total production for the first six(6) months of the year was down by

5.26 percent. From 725,642 mt recorded in 2010, it went down to 687,469 mt

in 2011. Fewer harvests were reported during the period due to the

unpredictable weather and the early onset of the rainy season which

prevented farmers to induced trees.

Area planted to mango decreased by 0.33 percent, to 186,671 hectares. On the

other hand, the number of bearing trees increased by 1.33 percent, to 8.443

million trees.

Pineapple. Production improved by 3.17 percent during the first half of 2011

as a result of area expansion last year in Northern Mindanao and recovery

from dry spell of pineapple areas in Bicol Region. The total national production

was 1,098 thousand mt in 2011 while it was 1,064 thousand mt last year. Area

planted to pineapple was 57,375 hectares in 2011, 1.34 percent lower than the

58,153 hectares in the previous year.
