TECHNICAL NOTES

Corn Production Survey (CPS) is one of the major agricultural surveys conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). These generate estimates and forecasts on corn production, area and yield and other production-related data that serve as inputs for policy making and programs on corn

These are quarterly surveys which cover sample farming households in sample barangays in all provinces except Batanes. Data item gathered on this survey includes production, area planted/harvested and yield by seed type; usage of seeds, fertilizer and pesticides; source of irrigation water and adequacy, monthly distribution of production and area harvested; farm household disposition of production; area on standing crop for the quarter; and awareness and availment of palay program interventions.

Production- this refers to quantity produced and actual harvested during the reference period. It includes those harvested but damaged, stolen, given away, consumed, given as harvesters’ and threshers’ shares, reserved, etc. Palay/Corn production from seed growers which are intended for seed purposes is excluded from the survey.

Parcel- this refers to one contiguous piece of land under one form of tenure without regard to land use. Both the contiguity and one form of tenure conditions should be met for a piece of land to be classified as one parcel. Contiguous means that the piece of land is not separated by natural or man-made boundaries such as river, dike, and road that are not part of the holding.

 A parcel may be surrounded by other lands, water, road, forest, or other features that are not part of the holding or part of the holding under different land tenure. A parcel may consist of one or more fields or plots adjacent to each other.

Area Harvested- actual area from which harvests area realized.

Yield- an indicator of productivity derived by dividing total production by the area harvested.
