Agriculture output growth slows to 2.8% as livestock, fisheries drag
The Philippines' agricultural output grew by 2.8% in the third quarter of 2025, reaching P408.94 billion, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
This growth was mainly driven by strong poultry production, which increased by 10.6%, and crop production, which rose by 3.0%.
Significant increases in specific crops like palay (12.6%), onion (77.3%), and potato (47.8%) contributed to the crop sector's positive performance.
However, the livestock sector experienced a 1.9% decline, and fisheries output decreased by 2.7% during the same period.
This slowdown in overall growth was anticipated by analysts and farm groups due to weather disturbances and concerns over African Swine Fever (ASF).
