How much ube is produced in Lanao del Sur?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 435 tonnes of ube produced in Lanao del Sur in 2025, from 24.14 hectares planted. That is 3.57% of national output and ranks the province 5th in the Philippines by volume.
Does Lanao del Sur produce more or less than its land area suggests?
Lanao del Sur ranks 24th by area planted but 5th by volume produced — it punches 19 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 Lanao del Sur?
Lanao del Sur volume concentrates in Q4 — October–December — which carries 74.7% 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 Lanao del Sur?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Lanao del Sur 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.
