Harvest window
Peak harvest: Q4 (36.1%)
Bukidnon is unusually spread out. The strongest quarter is Q4 at 36.1%, followed by Q2 at 35.4% — 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, 51% of Bukidnon 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 Bukidnon
Bukidnon is in Northern Mindanao, so shipment to a Luzon processing point is a container or RoRo movement. For most Bukidnon 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.

How much ube is produced in Bukidnon?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 29 tonnes of ube produced in Bukidnon in 2025, from 4.29 hectares planted. That is 0.24% of national output and ranks the province 47th in the Philippines by volume.
Does Bukidnon produce more or less than its land area suggests?
Bukidnon ranks 57th by area planted but 47th by volume produced — it punches 10 places above its land base. Per hectare, this is one of the more efficient places in the country to grow ube.
What months does ube actually come out of Bukidnon?
Bukidnon volume concentrates in Q4 — October–December — which carries 36.1% 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 Bukidnon?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Bukidnon 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.
