In the second quarter of 2023, the value of production in agriculture and fisheries at constant 2018 prices, which amounted to PhP 427.69 billion, decreased by -1.3 percent.

Livestock, which shared PhP 63.50 billion or 14.8 percent to the total value of production in agriculture and fisheries, expanded by 0.7 percent. Hog, the major contributor to the value of livestock production, increased by 1.0 percent. (Tables 1c, 2a, 2c, and 3a)

The value of poultry production at PhP 64.54 billion was 1.5 percent higher than last year’s same quarter level. It accounted for 15.1 percent of the total value of production in agriculture and fisheries. Chicken and duck exhibited improvements in the value of production during the period. (Tables 1c, 2a, 2c, and 3a)
