Agusan del Sur is unusually spread out. The strongest quarter is Q2 at 29.5%, followed by Q1 at 26.0% — no single window dominates. Averaged across 2023–2025, a flatter curve like this is worth more to a processor than one large peak, because it covers months when other provinces have nothing. Notably, 52% of Agusan del Sur volume lands in Q2 and Q3 — outside the October-to-March window most of the country harvests in. Off-cycle volume is worth a premium because it fills the months when national supply is empty.

Derived from PSA quarterly volume of production, averaged 2023–2025.

Logistics from Agusan del Sur

Agusan del Sur is in Caraga, so shipment to a Luzon processing point is a container or RoRo movement. For most Agusan del Sur growers the practical route is either drying at source or consolidating with other growers in the region to make a full container worth moving.

For lots above 1,000 kg we can arrange a pickup. We prefer partners who have their own shipping, trucking, or logistics.

Frequently asked

What months does ube actually come out of Agusan del Sur?

Agusan del Sur volume concentrates in Q2 — April–June — which carries 29.5% of the province's recorded output, averaged across 2023–2025. This is measured on volume produced, not area planted, so it reflects when tubers come out of the ground rather than when they go in.
