Derived from PSA quarterly volume of production, averaged 2023–2025.
Logistics from Bohol
Bohol is an island province, so every shipment carries a RoRo or container leg. That adds handling time and raises the risk of shrinkage on fresh tuber. For volumes under a full truckload we suggest consolidation with nearby Central Visayas growers before shipping.
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 Bohol?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 3,931 tonnes of ube produced in Bohol in 2025, from 297.03 hectares planted. That is 32.28% of national output and ranks the province 1st in the Philippines by volume.
What months does ube actually come out of Bohol?
Bohol volume concentrates in Q4 — October–December — which carries 59.7% 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.
Do you buy small volumes from Bohol?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Bohol 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.
