Crop Science Module I – Some Data & Facts About Philippine Agriculture
Unit I – Part A: Quick Facts & Data
Before diving into complex crop science, an agriculturist must understand the systemic baseline. The PRC board exam frequently tests your knowledge of land utilization, top-performing commodities, and institutional mandates to gauge your sector awareness.
📊 Sub-Sector Economic Output (Ranked by GVA)
Knowing which sub-sector contributes the most to the Gross Value Added (GVA) in agriculture is a classic board exam question. Here is the current ranking:
- 1. Crops (~55-58%): The undisputed leader, heavily driven by palay (rice), corn, coconut, and banana production.
- 2. Livestock (~15%): The second major contributor, predominantly sustained by the swine (hog) industry.
- 3. Poultry (~14%): A highly commercialized sector showing consistent growth, led by broiler chicken and egg production.
- 4. Fisheries (~13-15%): Comprising aquaculture, municipal, and commercial fishing. (Note: Poultry and Fisheries frequently swap 3rd and 4th place).
