b) Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing

While the Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing (AHFF) sector
contributes 6.05 percent to the Region’s gross domestic product, it
provides employment to 14.32 percent of the Region’s workforce.
The sector’s output increased from PHP 67.74 billion in 2011 to
PHP 74.14 billion in 2017. Calabarzon is the second largest
contributor on AHFF among regions in the country. Its major
products include rice, corn, coconut, coffee, pineapple, sugar,
banana, vegetables, tilapia, livestock and poultry, among others.
New scientific knowledge in agricultural production is important to
continue the development of the sector, and make agricultural
products resilient to climate change and competitive across
international fields.
