MANILA -The output of the agriculture sector expanded in the first quarter of 2023 amid the lingering threats of animal diseases such as African swine fever (ASF) and bird flu and the looming El Niño weather phenomenon. In a report released on Wednesday, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said farm production posted an increment of 2.1 percent, a turnaround from a 0.3 percent dip in the same period a year ago. The value of agriculture and fishery production at constant 2018 prices reached P428.
