AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT expanded by an annual 5.7% in the second quarter — the fastest pace in eight years — as better weather conditions enabled high-value crops such as rice and corn to post double-digit growth, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said on Wednesday.
Data from the PSA showed the value of production in agriculture and fisheries at constant 2018 prices increased by 5.7% to P437.53 billion in the April-to-June period, faster than the 2% growth in the first quarter.
