Statistics office in Agusan Norte to conduct crops production survey
BUTUAN CITY -- The Philippine Statistics Authority – Agusan del Norte will conduct the first quarter 2025 Crops Production Survey (CrPS) for household and establishment. This is a quarterly survey that aims to generate estimates on the volume of production, area planted/harvested, number of bearing trees/hills/vines, and farmgate prices for crops other than palay and corn. Moreover, the production and farmgate prices generated from the survey are direct inputs to the Value of Production in Philippine Agriculture and Fisheries and accordingly to the preparation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
To facilitate the activity, PSA-Agusan del Norte hired five statistical researchers (SRs) who will gather data from 365 sample households and four establishments within Butuan City and Agusan del Norte. These SRs underwent training on March 10 -11 at the PSA Provincial Statistical Office – Agusan del Norte. Data collection is conducted from March 18 to 31, utilizing the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) technique.
PSA-Agusan del Norte urged sample households and establishments to actively participate by providing truthful and accurate information. The data gathered in this survey will be instrumental in policy making and planning efforts of government officials and stakeholders, contributing to economic development.
The agency assured all respondents that the information collected by the hired SRs and/or field Supervisors from the sample shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be used for taxation, investigation or regulation as provided under Article 55 or Republic Act 10625.
