Weather Situation and Outlook1
October-December 2005
Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the central and eastern equatorial Pacific (CEEP) have remained neutral. The weather system that affected the country were the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), tail end of cold front, northeast monsoon, ridge of the north pacific high pressure area, easterly wave, easterlies, active low-pressure area and the occurrence of four (4) tropical cyclones namely; typhoons “Nando” and “Pepeng” and tropical depressions “Ondoy” and “Quedan”. “Ondoy” made landfall over Baler, Aurora and Ilocos while “Pepeng” crossed over extreme northern Luzon and dissipated into a low-pressure area. “Quedan” brought floods to: Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Lucena, Sorsogon, Oriental Mindoro, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Palawan, southeast of Zamboanga City and the provinces of Camarines, Surigao, Agusan and Davao. Most parts of the country received near to above normal rainfall.
January-March 2006 The period covers the second half of the northeast monsoon season locally known as “Amihan”. The weather systems that are likely to affect the country are: the northeast monsoon, tail-end of cold front, easterlies, ridge of high pressure area and the possible occurrence of one (1) tropical cyclone which may possibly cross the country through the Visayas or northeastern Mindanao. Rainfall conditions are anticipated to be near to above normal over large portion of the country except for Ilocos Norte, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan and Davao. ____________________ 1Excerpt from PAGASA Press Release issued on Dec 27, 2005, Weather Situation and Outlook issued on Jan 2006, Dec and Nov 2005 and Seasonal Climate Outlook issued on January 2006.
RICE & CORN SITUATION AND OUTLOOK iii
H i g h l i g h t s
Palay production in 2005 continued to be on the uptrend at 14.6 million metric tons, 0.7% higher than last year’s record high of 14.5 million metric tons. This was achieved despite the shrinkage in area harvested by more than 50 thousand hectares due to the effects of dry spell during the first semester of the year. This year’s high yield of 3.59 metric tons per hectare mitigated the impact of reduced harvest area. The increasing adoption of hybrid varieties and quality inbred seeds coupled with technology support by the government contributed to improved crop productivity. Corn, on the other hand, registered a reduced output of 5.3 million metric tons, 2.9% short of last year’s record of 5.4 million metric tons. Productivity slightly improved by 0.5% from its previous year level owing to increased use of good quality seeds. However, the 85 thousand hectares drop in area harvested was a major blow to the overall corn performance for the year. Most of the losses occurred during the 1st semester due to the effects of dry spell. Forecasts of palay and corn production for the 1st half of 2006 suggest positive growths with the recovery from last year’s dry spell during the 1st semester. Palay and corn performance for the initial half of 2006 looks promising given expected improved weather conditions.

RICE & CORN SITUATION AND OUTLOOK 1
1.0 Palay and Corn Crop Estimates 1.1. PALAY Calendar Year 2005 Crop • Palay production for
calendar year 2005 posted a modest growth of 106 thousand metric tons, 0.7% over last year despite contraction in harvest area during the first semester mainly due to the mild but prolonged El Niño. The output increment resulted from improved yield per hectare, from 3.51 metric tons in 2004 to 3.59 metric tons in 2005. This was attributed to extensive use of hybrid and quality inbred seeds and technology support provided by the LGUs and the GMA Rice Program.
• This year’s 2nd semester production was boosted by the 4th quarter’s gain of 314
thousand metric tons, 5.6% up from 2004. Harvest area and yield for the quarter went up by 2.1% and 3.4%, respectively. These gains were mainly contributed by the increase of 5.1% in harvest area and 3.3% in yield in irrigated farms. In rainfed farms, harvest area contracted from last year’s hectarage but average yield improved from 2.87 to 2.92 metric tons per hectare. This was the result of wider adoption of quality seeds and better weather conditions after the dry spell. Substantial production increments for the period were achieved in Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region, Western and Eastern Visayas, Caraga, and ARMM.
• Top producers for calendar
year 2005 were Central Luzon, Western Visayas, Cagayan V a l l e y , I l o c o s , a n d Soccsksargen. These regions contributed around 59% of the country’s total palay output.

January-June 2006 Forecast • The first semester of 2006
posts a brighter outlook for palay crop. Increased area and improved yield in both irrigated and r a i n fed fa r ms a r e expected in anticipation o f b e t t e r w ea t h e r conditions and recovery from the drought-stricken 2005.
• Barring unforeseen conditions, output for the 1st half of 2006 may exceed 2005
performance by more than 5%. Harvest area may expand by about 5% while yield may improve by at least 1%.
• All regions except
Central Luzon expect production increases during the period. Harvest area and yield in m o s t r e g i o n s a r e anticipated to improve w i t h t h e l i k e l y availability of irrigation water, extensive use of hybrid and quality inbred seeds, continuous support from LGU, GMA-Rice programs and improved weather conditions.

1.2. CORN Calendar Year 2005 Crop • Overall corn production
for the year 2005 was estimated at 5.25 million metric tons. This was 2.9% less than the 2004 level because of the 3.4% contraction in harvest area. The bulk of decrease was noted during the initial half of the year due to adverse effects of dry spell in most parts of the country. There was contraction in harvest area by 12.1% compared to last year’s 1st semester hectarage. First semester yield also went down by 3.9% due to severe dry weather conditions that prevailed in most parts of the country coupled with high costs of fertilizer and other farm inputs.
• Although the 2nd semester output increased by 6.6%, this was not enough to
compensate for losses incurred during the 1st semester. Most of the 2nd semester’s increase was traced to the 3rd quarter production performance as many farmers advanced their cropping to take advantage of improved weather conditions.
• As a result of advance cropping in many areas, 4th quarter output fell by 61 thousand
metric tons from the 2004 level. Output further dropped with the floodings in Isabela and Cagayan and excessive rains in Batangas and Soccsksargen provinces. Rat infestation in Soccsksargen also contributed to the reduced production for the period.
• Top corn producers for
2005 were Soccsksargen, Nor thern Mindanao , Cagayan Valley, ARMM, Ilocos Region and Davao Region. They recorded around 74% of the country’s total production for the year.

January-June 2006 Forecast • Production for the 1st
semester of 2006 may reach 2.6 million metric tons, surpassing the 2005 output by around 33% wi th the expec ted expansion in area to be harvested by around 1 4 . 5 % a nd l i k e l y improvement in yield by 15.8%. Almost all regions fo r e se e p ro d u c t i o n recovery f rom the drought affected crop in 2005.
• Enhanced production is
expected for both the 1st and 2nd quarters of the year. Improved weather conditions, availability of good quality seeds coupled with financial and technical assistance from local benefactors and support coming from D A- LGU p r o gr a ms prompted farmers to increase plantings for the 1st quarter period. Also, farmers are highly optimistic of sustained favorable weather conditions towards the 2nd semester along with the continued use of good quality seeds.
• Only Central Luzon and Davao Region projected output decline for the period as
more farms are reported to have shifted to banana and cassava in Davao City and Davao Sur and to mongo, sweet potato and turnips in Tarlac. High cost of production inputs was reportedly the main reason for these crop shiftings. There were also farms reportedly left idle due to financial constraints.

• White corn grain at farmgate was quoted higher in the first semester of 2005 but took a downturn in the next semester with its average price of P8.68, P0.45 per kilogram lower than the 2004 corresponding quotations. Said reduction in monthly prices was a result of the peak of supply coming from local production.
• The average price of yellow corn
grain at wholesale was P9.50 per kilogram, P0.65 below the average price in 2004. Compared to previous year’s quotations for same months, monthly prices for this year were consistently lower except for prices in January and December.
• At wholesale, except for February,
the first semester average monthly prices per kilogram of yellow corn grain were higher compared to same period in 2004. Price levels in the second semester, however, dipped which ranged from P0.64 to P2.17 per kilogram. Price per kilogram was lowest in November at P8.61 and highest in April at P10.38. The 2005 average wholesale price per kilogram was P9.57, 5.6% lower than last year.
