APRIL 2014 Republic of the Philippines Philippine Statistics Authority BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS FOREWORD The Philippine Statistics Authority - Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (PSA– BAS) conducted Costs and Returns Survey (CRS) of Garlic Production in August 2013. The CRS was designed to generate data on the cost structure of garlic production, average use of materials and labor inputs and measures of profitability of garlic farming in the six (6) major producing provinces, namely: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, Quezon and Mindoro Occidental. The costs and returns data contained in this report are presented by province. This report includes other socio-economic variables related to garlic production. The reference period of the survey is the last completed harvest within July 2012 to June 2013. The PSA-BAS gratefully acknowledges the financial support provided by the National Rice Program of the Department of Agriculture (DA). Further, the PSA-BAS deeply appreciates the cooperation of the respondents who were interviewed by the Contractual Data Collectors (CDCs) during the survey. We welcome comments and suggestions from our various users for the improvement of our data system on cost of production. ROMEO S.

INTRODUCTION A. Rationale Garlic (Allium sativum L.), otherwise known as “bawang”, is one of the most popular cultivated Alliums. It is mainly used as a condiment for flavoring meat, fish and salads, in fresh and dehydrated forms. It is also known to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Its many other health-promoting attributes have resulted in medicinal pills, drinks and powders based on garlic extracts. In spite of having many other uses and with increasing demand for garlic, production in the Philippines has been declining by 5.94 percent over the past 10 years. The country produced 8,644 metric tons in 2013. Price per kilogram of garlic was P70.40. Yet, area harvested for garlic decreased by 5.37 percent in 2013 compared with last year’s record. The Philippine Statistics Authority-Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (PSA- BAS) has been doing its share in the government’s continuing efforts to develop and sustain the growth of agriculture in the country through the provision of basic statistics. The garlic industry has expressed the need for more information that can help policy makers and investors in making decisions and policies. Part of the growing demand for data are statistics on costs and returns of production. However, the generation of CRS data has not yet been made a regular survey undertaking of the PSA-BAS given the limited regular budget of the Bureau. With the funding support from the National Rice Program of the Department of Agriculture (DA), the PSA-BAS conducted the 2013 Costs and Returns Survey of Garlic Production.
