The total duck production from April to June 2020 was estimated at
4.92 thousand metric tons, liveweight. This was 7.8 percent lower than
the previous year’s same quarter output of 5.33 thousand metric tons,
liveweight.
Among the regions, Central Luzon was the top producer of duck for meat
during the quarter with 1.03 thousand metric tons, liveweight. This was
followed by SOCCSKSARGEN with 0.92 thousand metric tons,
liveweight, and Northern Mindanao with 0.62 thousand metric tons,
liveweight. These regions shared 52.2 percent to the country’s total duck
production.
Relative to their levels a year ago, 11 regions posted decreases in
production during the quarter. BARMM reported the highest decrease of
45.7 percent, as it posted a production of 61.00 metric tons, liveweight,

As of 01 July 2020, the total inventory of duck was recorded at
12.42 million birds. This was 5.0 percent higher than the previous year’s
same period stocks of 11.83 million birds. Population of duck in backyard
farms declined by 0.8 percent while stocks in commercial farms increased
by 16.5 percent. Of the total duck inventory, 63.2 percent were raised in
backyard farms while the remaining 36.8 percent were from commercial
farms.
The top three regions in terms of inventory were Central Luzon, Western
Visayas, and SOCCSKSARGEN. These regions contributed
60.7 percent to the country’s duck population.

The average farmgate price of duck for meat in commercial farms during
the quarter was PhP 62.57 per kilogram, liveweight. This was
1.5 percent higher than the previous year’s same quarter average price of
PhP 61.63 per kilogram, liveweight.
During the period, the highest farmgate price of duck for meat was
reported in May at PhP 65.80 per kilogram, liveweight, while the lowest
was in April at PhP 57.60 per kilogram, liveweight. (Figure 3 and

TECHNICAL NOTES
This Duck Situation Report presents the duck industry in terms of
volume of production, inventory by farm type, and average farmgate
prices. The report is prepared to serve as a ready reference for our various
clients and stakeholders in the agriculture sector. It is released quarterly;
that is, every January, May, August, and November.
Concepts and Definitions
Volume of production refers to the volume of locally-raised animals
disposed for dressing including those which were shipped out to other
regions/provinces for dressing. This is expressed in thousand metric tons,
liveweight.
Inventory refers to the actual number of animals present in the farm as of
the specific reference date.
Farmgate price refers to the price received by raisers for their produce at
the location of farm. Thus, the marketing cost, such as transport and other
marketing costs (if any) incurred in selling the produce is not included in
the farmgate prices.
