Harvest window
Peak harvest: Q3 (63.3%)
Rizal peaks in Q3 — July–September — with 63.3% of recorded volume, and carries 18.9% in Q1. Averaged across 2023–2025. Notably, 63% of Rizal 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 Rizal
Rizal sits on the Luzon road network, so fresh tuber can move to a Metro Manila or regional processing point by truck without a ferry leg. That keeps post-harvest losses low enough that we can take fresh tuber as well as dried.
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 Rizal?
The Philippine Statistics Authority recorded 69 tonnes of ube produced in Rizal in 2025, from 28.45 hectares planted. That is 0.57% of national output and ranks the province 30th in the Philippines by volume.
Does Rizal produce more or less than its land area suggests?
Rizal ranks 21th by area planted but only 30th by volume — 9 places lower than its land base suggests. There is more ground under ube here than the output reflects, which is a yield gap rather than a land shortage.
What months does ube actually come out of Rizal?
Rizal volume concentrates in Q3 — July–September — which carries 63.3% 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 Rizal?
Yes, but the economics change below a certain size. For Rizal 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.
