MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

The 2011 Annual Report puts together the accomplishment of the Bureau. This document presents the outputs of all the operating units of the Bureau as they continuously strive towards achieving the targets set for the year. Following the Bureaus tradition, we make time to discuss the setting and assessment of the targets of all BAS operating units. This practice has guided us in enhancing our performance as a team working together to serve the interests of the agriculture sector. The line-up of activities and outputs delivered are offshoots of this semi-annual presentation of plans and accomplishments. The increase in the budgetary support last year has enabled the BAS to enhance its existing data systems. It has consequently allowed the Bureau to deliver more statistical products and services. We thank the Department of Agriculture (DA) for the recognition and provision of continuing support to the Bureau. The Bureau appreciates all the feedback and comments from the clients and stakeholders. All these motivate us to continuously improve our information dissemination support services. Our heartfelt gratitude goes also to our survey respondents. I would like to extend my appreciation to all the BAS staff for their continuing commitment towards the attainment of the Bureaus goals in 2011.

These initiatives complemented and enhanced the information support services that the BAS is mandated to provide to respond to clients and stakeholders of the agriculture and fisheries data. The following were the special projects implemented in 2011: 1. Determination of Rice Milling Recovery Rate The major objective of this research is to establish the average national milling recovery rate. It is intended to update the conversion ratio that is used in the Supply and Utilization Accounts for rice. In May 2011, the second round of the survey was conducted. By July, its report was being crafted and this was worked out with the Statistical Methods and Research Division and Crops Statistics Division. 2. Area Based Yield Identification Project This project which was funded under the Philippine-German Technical Cooperation was implemented in Region VIII. It aimed to develop Public-Private Partnerships for risk financing in agriculture in the Philippines.

Monitoring and Evaluation In tracking the implementation of the three (3) components, an M & E system was set-up at BAS to ensure that inputs, work schedules and targeted outputs are met. In 2011, five (5) M &E reports, including the photo documentation, were submitted to NAFC. 4. Survey of Capital Formation of Agricultural Households This survey aims to generate benchmark information on the level and structure of capital accumulated by agricultural households. The following were completed in 2011: a. Development of data processing system b. Pre-test of questionnaire in La Union c. Conduct of 1st and 2nd level training for the BAS staff d. Data collection in Region I and editing of survey returns in its Operations Centers 5.

Through this project, the following training courses were conducted in 2011: a. Advance MS Excel b. Training on Risk Assessment c. Training on Seasonal Adjustment and Missing Data Estimation d. Basic Statistics Training and Technical Report Writing e. Writeshop on Situation Report f. Survey-Based Forecasting and Supply-Chain Analysis
37
The project has also paved the way for the conduct of workshop on assessment of data holdings and identification of data gaps in the regions involved in this project. The projects regular output is the quarterly publication of Broiler and Swine Statistical Handbook. 6. Barangay Agricultural Profiling Survey in Regions XII and XIII The BAPS has been designed to collect information on the basic structure of agriculture and fishery at the barangay level. In 2011, these two (2) regions were granted funding support from the DA RFO. Their respective 1st level training happened in November while the data collection operations were done in the following month. 7.

In 2011, the BAS has started to verify the sample barangay samples to be covered. Also, it has finalized the design and estimation procedure of the survey. 8. Vegetable Production Survey This survey was done to estimate the production of vegetables produced in Metro Manila. This commenced in 2011 where a series of data collection was also done up to fourth quarter of the year covered. 9. Frame Updating for Onion This activity aims to generate survey-based onion production statistics including forecastrelated information. This onion survey was initially conducted in Nueva Ecija where listing of the sampling frame was undertaken in all onion producing barangays. 10. Costs and Returns Survey on Tilapia Production. The survey was done to generate data on costs and returns of tilapia production by type of aquafarm. The following were accomplished in 2011: a. Pre-test of the questionnaire b. Data collection in six (6) major tilapia producing provinces c. Filed editing d. Completion of the final report
