The University of Asia & the Pacific Center for Food and Agri Business (UA&P-CFA) projects a “flat horizon” for the agriculture, fisheries, and forestry cluster this year, forecasting between a 0.5 percent decline to 0.5 percent growth. This follows a 3.1 percent expansion in 2025, the cluster’s strongest in five years, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Growth was driven by poultry (9.1 percent), other agricultural activities and services (3.9 percent), crops (3.1 percent), and fisheries (0.5 percent), while livestock and forestry declined 2.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively.
