Farm output shrinks 3.3% in Q2 on El Niño’s impact - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

THE country’s farm output contracted by 3.3 percent in the second quarter as El Niño ravaged farmlands, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

Livestock production recorded a 0.2-percent decrease to 539,330 MT from 540,460 MT in the same period last year.“The top contributor to this decrement was carabao production, which dropped by 2.4 percent annually.

Agriculture Assistant Secretary Arnel de Mesa said the weather phenomenon that wreaked havoc on local plantations was the primary driver in the decline of the crop subsector.“El Niño was the main driver of the decline registered in crop subsector, particularly for palay, corn, and sugarcane,” De Mesa told reporters in a briefing on Wednesday, speaking partly in Filipino.
