Harvest window
Peak harvest: Q3 (43.8%)
Misamis Occidental peaks in Q3 — July–September — with 43.8% of recorded volume, and carries 37.5% in Q1. Averaged across 2023–2025. Notably, 50% of Misamis Occidental 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 Misamis Occidental
Misamis Occidental is in Northern Mindanao, so shipment to a Luzon processing point is a container or RoRo movement. For most Misamis Occidental 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 Misamis Occidental?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 140 tonnes of ube produced in Misamis Occidental in 2025, from 15.00 hectares planted. That is 1.15% of national output and ranks the province 18th in the Philippines by volume.
Does Misamis Occidental produce more or less than its land area suggests?
Misamis Occidental ranks 36th by area planted but 18th by volume produced — it punches 18 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 Misamis Occidental?
Misamis Occidental volume concentrates in Q3 — July–September — which carries 43.8% 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 Misamis Occidental?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Misamis Occidental 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.
