1. Situating the Agricultural Statistical System in PSS

The Philippine Agricultural Statistics System (AgStat) exists within the functional and organizational structure of the PSS.

All government instrumentalities that are concerned with generation, analysis and dissemination of statistics on agriculture, fisheries and related fields.

Central to its responsibilities is the provision of information support to the process of development planning, policy formulation and decision making in the agriculture and fisheries sectors.

The two major producers of agricultural data are the BAS and the NSO.
