THE PHILIPPINES’ agricultural production grew by 2.6% in 2025, the fastest pace in eight years, as gains in crop output and strong poultry performance offset the decline in livestock and fisheries, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said.
Data from the PSA showed the value of production in agriculture and fisheries at constant 2018 prices rose to P1.77 trillion last year from P1.73 trillion in 2024.
This was a reversal of the 2.1% contraction in 2024 when the agriculture sector was affected by drought and dry spells caused by the El Niño.
