Harvest window
Peak harvest: Q3 (40.1%)
Davao de Oro harvests across a two-quarter window: 40.1% of volume in Q3 and 35.7% in Q4, which puts the working season at roughly July through December. Averaged across 2023–2025. Notably, 53% of Davao de Oro 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 Davao de Oro
Davao de Oro is in Davao Region, so shipment to a Luzon processing point is a container or RoRo movement. For most Davao de Oro 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 Davao de Oro?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 39 tonnes of ube produced in Davao de Oro in 2025, from 8.79 hectares planted. That is 0.32% of national output and ranks the province 40th in the Philippines by volume.
What months does ube actually come out of Davao de Oro?
Davao de Oro volume concentrates in Q3 — July–September — which carries 40.1% 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 Davao de Oro?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Davao de Oro 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.
