FOREWORD
The Agricultural Indicators System (AIS) is one of the statistical indicator frameworks maintained by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). As part of the continuing effort of PSA to improve its products and services, the coverage of the AIS was reviewed to rationalize releases, merge related indicators and package these into reports with more emphasis on statistics and indicators related to the development of the agriculture sector. The AIS now comprises of eight (8) modules which will be updated and released annually. These modular reports provide measures for assessing socio-economic changes in the agriculture sector, characterizing the agrarian structure of the economy and situating agriculture in the national economy.
This is the fifth module entitled Agricultural Exports and Imports. It provides indicators on the performance of agricultural sector with respect to trade. It includes the volume and value of exports and imports of selected agricultural crops, share of agriculture in total foreign trade as well as the share of Philippine agricultural crops in the total world export trade. The reference years are 2015 to 2019.
The AIS aims to cover more agricultural development indicators to support the information needs of our data users. We encourage the readers to give their comments and suggestions on the improvement of the AIS, in general, and this report, in particular.

The trade performance of the country’s major agricultural commodities is described in terms of the year-on-year changes on the volume and value of agricultural export and import commodities. It also shows the contribution of the agricultural products in the country’s foreign trade and the share of selected agricultural commodities in the world export trade.
Agricultural Exports
Figure 1. Growth rates of value of all agricultural exports, Philippines, 2016-2019
(In percent) In 2019, the country’s export earnings from agricultural products reached PhP 345.77 billion, indicating an increase of 7.3 percent from the previous year’s record. This was an improvement from the decline recorded in 2018. The contribution of agricultural exports to the total export earnings in 2019 went up to 9.4 percent.
The exportation of rice in 2019 at 344.9 metric tons grew by 11.6 percent. However, its export value at PhP 26.83 million was reduced by 9.7 percent. Meanwhile, the volume of corn exports of 415.3 metric tons valued at PhP 62.83 million registered increases by 24.4 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively. The revenues generated from the rice and corn exports had minimal shares of less than 0.1 percent each to the total value of agricultural exports.

Rubber imports comprised 0.7 percent in the total expenditures for agricultural imports. Meanwhile, a reduction in the importation of tobacco was observed in 2019 which volume at 53,134 metric tons contracted by 18.7 percent. Likewise, expenditures for tobacco imports declined to PhP 10.56 billion or by 28.2 percent. It exhibited a reduced share of 1.4 percent in the total import value of agricultural products. About 36,646 metric tons of mongo were imported in 2019, amounting to PhP 1.70 billion. Its volume was reduced by 4.1 percent, whereas, value increased by 10.6 percent. Mongo exports contributed 0.2 percent in the total value of agricultural imports. The imports of coffee at 35,091 metric tons valued at PhP 3.17 billion were down by 15.0 percent and 28.4 percent, respectively. This resulted to a decline in share to 0.4 percent of the total import expenditures for agricultural commodities. Other reference crops such as onion, potato, and cacao posted minimal shares of less than 0.1 percent in the total expenditures for agricultural imports. Potato exhibited increasing importation both in volume and value. In contrast, declining volume and value of imports were reported for onion and cacao. Meanwhile, mango, sugarcane, eggplant, ampalaya, and calamansi were not imported throughout the five reference years (Tables 1, 3, 3a and 3b).
