Department of Agriculture(DA)

Hi, I would like to request for a time series data regarding city level data on agricultural production in urban cities such as Pasig and Valenzuela. We would like to request for data regarding:

1.) Local Production in Cities 
2.) Resources Used for Production (if monitored - i.e:  water allotted, land devoted, production, distribution, and retail facilities)
3.) Imports and Exports of Agricultural Products for the cities.

Please follow the dates in the requests and not the ones specified in the box as we are not sure of what dates these data are available. Thank you for your consideration!
