Harvest window
Peak harvest: Q1 (79.2%)
Batangas runs on a single window. Averaged across 2023–2025, 79.2% of recorded volume comes out in Q1 — January–March. The rest of the year there is effectively nothing to buy.
Derived from PSA quarterly volume of production, averaged 2023–2025.
Logistics from Batangas
Batangas sits on the Luzon road network, so fresh tuber can move to a Metro Manila or regional processing point by truck without a ferry leg. That keeps post-harvest losses low enough that we can take fresh tuber as well as dried.
For lots above 1,000 kg we can arrange a pickup. We prefer partners who have their own shipping, trucking, or logistics.

How much ube is produced in Batangas?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 203 tonnes of ube produced in Batangas in 2025, from 47.60 hectares planted. That is 1.67% of national output and ranks the province 11th in the Philippines by volume.
What months does ube actually come out of Batangas?
Batangas volume concentrates in Q1 — January–March — which carries 79.2% 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.
Does Batangas harvest off-cycle?
Largely yes. Most Philippine ube comes off the ground around the December-to-March window. Batangas plants mainly in the first semester, which puts a share of its harvest outside that peak. Off-cycle volume is worth more to a processor than peak volume, because it fills the months when everyone else has nothing.
Do you buy small volumes from Batangas?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Batangas we work with individual growers from 500 kg and with associations or cooperatives at any volume. Below 500 kg the sensible route is to consolidate with neighbouring growers first — we can help coordinate that.
What ube varieties do you buy?
We buy Dioscorea alata (greater yam) — the purple-fleshed ube used for halaya, powder and paste. Kinampay and its local selections are preferred where available for their colour and aroma, but we buy standard local purple types as well. We do not buy Dioscorea esculenta (tugui) or white-fleshed yam.
