Similar to the majority of the population across the country, residents of Negros Oriental actively participate in the agricultural sector. In the Central Visayas region, Cebu boasts the highest number of farms, while Negros Oriental secures the second position with a total of 137,100 farms, spanning across 228,000 hectares. Negros Oriental is renowned for its diverse agricultural output. In addition to staple crops like palay and corn, the province excels in cultivating other major crops, including sugarcane, coconut (with husk), banana, banana saba, and cassava. According to the 2018 data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), these top 5 crops are pivotal to the province’s agricultural landscape. Sugarcane takes the lead, dominating the production scene with an impressive volume of 2,179,531.33 metric tons, yielding 55.65 metric tons per hectare. Following closely are coconut (with husk) and banana, with production volumes of 153,049.71 metric tons and 70,449.52 metric tons, respectively.

Delivering fish to the market

As luck would have it, I was passing by at the time when the fish truck, which is called a ‘fish carrier’ in the Philippines, arrived. The truck was parked on the street and had already been opened. Inside were stacked tubs of fish on ice. Some had already been unloaded. Next to the fish landing was a dealer in ice blocks. A delivery had also just arrived here. It was a bit hectic and I had to be careful not to get knocked over or run over while filming and photographing. Here are some impressions in pictures from my following video: Dumaguete City Fish Market Adventure: Fresh Seafood Delivery in the Philippines!

All public markets in the country need fresh pork every day. This is supplied by the local abattoirs. In the city of Dumaguete, I was there early in the morning at 3 a.m. when the slaughtered pigs were delivered by truck. More than 100 slaughtered pigs were unloaded as a whole and for the most part distributed to the individual market stalls, where they are later cut up by the stall owners. The part you can see here on the steel tables in front of the truck are the slaughtered pigs, which are cut up by butchers and then packed into ice boxes for collection. Around 6 to 7 a.m., this daily haunting is over and nothing more can be seen. Watch the corresponding video here: MEAT & FISH DELIVERIES at public market DUMAGUETE
