Fertilizer Supply and Disposition

Statistics on supply and disposition of fertilizers indicate how the country manages the production and trade of fertilizers during a given period. In 2018, the country’s supply of fertilizers composed of production and imports totalled to 2.82 million metric tons and registered an annual increase of 3.67 percent compared with the previous year’s level. Specifically, domestic production of fertilizers was estimated at 0.52 million metric tons, higher by 29.72 percent from the 2017 record. Importation of fertilizers was reduced to 2.30 million metric tons or by 0.81 percent in 2018. The share of production in the total fertilizer supply increased to 18.37 percent while import’s share dropped to 81.63 percent. Local sales of fertilizer summed up to 1.20 million metric tons in 2018. It recorded a 67.87 percent growth from the sales in 2017. Likewise, the share of local sales to the total fertilizer supply rose to 42.58 percent in 2018. The volume of fertilizer exports grew by 11.41 percent and settled at 51,496 metric tons. It shared only 1.83 percent in the total fertilizer supply (Tables 1a to 1c).

Retail Prices of Major Fertilizer Grades

The retail prices of major fertilizer grades on a year-on-year basis indicate the behavior of prices paid by the consumers during a given period. In 2018, five (5) out of the six (6) major fertilizer grades exhibited increasing price levels compared to their 2017 records. Di-ammophos maintained the highest retail price at PhP 1,508.11 per bag in 2018. It registered an increment of 4.22 percent in 2018, an improvement from the previous year’s downtrend. Similarly, Ammophos recovered from the 2017 price drop and in 2018 it was quoted higher at PhP 935.38 per bag. This was a price gain by 3.06 percent. Meanwhile, the 2018 retail prices of Urea and Muriate of Potash at PhP 1,024.11 and PhP 1,349.00 per bag grew by 11.46 percent and 9.57 percent, respectively. Ammosul, which was priced the lowest at PhP 573.52 per bag, was up by 4.02 percent in 2018. Complete fertilizer continued its downtrend price in 2018 at 1.74 percent. It was priced at PhP 1,081.90 per bag (Tables 2a and 2b). The retail prices of all the six (6) major fertilizer grades in 2018 remained below 100 percent which means that the 2018 price levels were less than the 2012 price

The retail price indices of all the six (6) major fertilizer grades in 2018 remained below 100.00 which means that the 2018 price levels were less than the 2012 price estimates (Table 2c).

Input-Output Ratio

The nitrogen/palay price ratio is an indicator of how much output (palay) is needed to pay for a unit of input (nitrogen fertilizer). In 2018, the nitrogen/palay price ratio was 1.92 which was lower than previous year’s ratio of 1.96. It indicates that about 1.92 kilograms of palay were produced to pay for a kilogram of nitrogen fertilizer. On a quarterly basis, the fourth quarter of the year had the highest ratio of 2.14 while the lowest ratio at 1.79 was registered in the third quarter of 2018 (Table 3).

Nominal and Real Wage Rates in Agriculture

The agricultural wage rate is an indicator of the progress and welfare of farm workers. At the national level, the daily wage rate of agricultural workers in 2018 averaged PhP 306.28 in nominal terms or PhP 274.69 in real terms. Specifically, palay farm workers received the highest nominal wage rate at PhP 324.81 per day equivalent to PhP 277.38 per day in real terms. This was followed by coconut farm laborers with an average daily wage rate of PhP 317.27 in nominal terms while real wage rate was recorded at PhP 270.94 per day. Those working in corn and sugarcane farms were paid daily nominal wage rates at PhP 264.29 and PhP 273.38, respectively. These corresponded to PhP 225.70 per day and PhP 233.46 per day in real terms (Tables 4a to 4b).

Across regions, the highest nominal wage rate received by agricultural workers was registered in CALABARZON at PhP 373.92 per day or equivalent to PhP 339.93 in real terms. In particular, the daily nominal wage rates paid to palay farm laborers were biggest in CALABARZON at PhP 396.46 and in MIMAROPA Region at PhP 381.14. Their corresponding daily real wage rates amounted to PhP 344.15 and PhP 324.65. Higher daily nominal wage rates were received by corn farm laborers in Central Luzon at PhP 313.56 and in CALABARZON at PhP 358.46 translated to daily real wage rates at PhP 271.95 and PhP 311.16, respectively. In Cagayan Valley, the nominal wage rate of coconut farm workers was leading at PhP 389.76 per day corresponding to PhP 329.19 per day in real

Likewise, the share of local sales to the total fertilizer supply rose to 42.58 percent in 2018. The volume of fertilizer exports grew by 11.41 percent and settled at 51,496 metric tons. It shared only 1.83 percent in the total fertilizer supply (Tables 1a to 1c).

Retail Prices of Major Fertilizer Grades

The retail prices of major fertilizer grades on a year-on-year basis indicate the behavior of prices paid by the consumers during a given period. In 2018, five (5) out of the six (6) major fertilizer grades exhibited increasing price levels compared to their 2017 records. Di-ammophos maintained the highest retail price at PhP 1,508.11 per bag in 2018. It registered an increment of 4.22 percent in 2018, an improvement from the previous year’s downtrend. Similarly, Ammophos recovered from the 2017 price drop and in 2018 it was quoted higher at PhP 935.38 per bag. This was a price gain by 3.06 percent. Meanwhile, the 2018 retail prices of Urea and Muriate of Potash at PhP 1,024.11 and PhP 1,349.00 per bag grew by 11.46 percent and 9.57 percent, respectively. Ammosul, which was priced the lowest at PhP 573.52 per bag, was up by 4.02 percent in 2018. Complete fertilizer continued its downtrend price in 2018 at 1.74 percent. It was priced at PhP 1,081.90 per bag (Tables 2a and 2b). The retail prices of all the six (6) major fertilizer grades in 2018 remained below 100 percent which means that the 2018 price levels were less than the 2012 price

FOREWORD

The Agricultural Indicators System (AIS) is one of the statistical

indicator frameworks maintained by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). AIS has twelve (12) modules which are updated and released annually. This is the eleventh module entitled Inputs. It presents indicators relating to the productive factors in agriculture such as fertilizers and wages. The reference years are 2014 to 2018.

The AIS hopes 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.
