The quarterly mean of PSA's all-farms monthly rows, computed from this archive with the arithmetic attached to every row. A quarter missing a month has no mean and says which month is missing.

What this series says

Computed from the rows during the build, over live rows only — a withdrawn figure is one this site could not stand behind, and reprinting it as a record high would be republishing it under a different heading.

The rule: 92 days for a quarterly source, times 2 — 184 days. A budget at one cadence fires the moment a release is a day late, and a gate that fires on healthy data is one people learn to ignore.

Reading it: the line breaks wherever the source published no figure, and each of those runs is shaded. The vertical axis is fitted to the data and both bounds are labelled; it does not start at zero, because ₱150 to ₱260 on a zero-based axis is a flat line and a fitted one is the same fact made legible.

What it is computed from

Both operands are series in this archive with their own pages and their own downloads. Neither is summarised here — this is the actual input.

Rows, blanks and columns

Coverage

6 rows, 2025-03-31 to 2026-06-30. 6 carry a figure.

Which optional columns it carries

Beyond the period, the value, the source and the access date, which every row in this archive has. Counted from the rows, so a column that stops being filled stops being listed.

  • derivation — 6 rows. the arithmetic that produced the figure, recomputed on every run.

Freshness

The newest figure is 53 days old, inside its 184-day budget.

The rule: 92 days for a quarterly source, times 2 — 184 days. A budget at one cadence fires the moment a release is a day late, and a gate that fires on healthy data is one people learn to ignore.

editorial

Baboy PH editorial synthesis

Every row carries the exact page or document it was read from, and the date somebody opened it — not just the agency. Those URLs are in the download, one per row, because "Baboy PH editorial synthesis" is not a citation anybody can follow.

The arithmetic, and where it is checked

Every row here is the mean of three monthly rows of hog-farmgate-average, rounded to 2 decimal places, with the three dates it averaged written onto the row. A quarter missing any of its three months has no mean at all — it is a null row naming the month that is absent, because the average of the months that did publish is a different quantity from the quarter. Every row carries that arithmetic in a form the archive's own checker re-computes on each run, so a derived figure that stopped matching its inputs fails the build rather than sitting there.

The newest row's own derivation, verbatim

mean(hog-farmgate-average@2026-04-30, @2026-05-31, @2026-06-30) = 172.44

Four files, free, with attribution

Every row carries its source, its URL and the date somebody actually opened it, and the attribution line is repeated on every row rather than in a header — because the unit of loss is the row, not the file.

File Format Size Rows What is in it
hog-farmgate-average-quarterly.csv text/csv 3 KB 6 Published rows only, one row per period. Retracted rows are excluded, so an average taken over this file is correct without filtering. Null values are the token NA.
full/hog-farmgate-average-quarterly.csv text/csv 3 KB 6 Every row this archive has ever held, including withdrawn ones, with a status column and the retraction date and reason. Use this to audit the archive, not to compute on.
hog-farmgate-average-quarterly.json application/json 3 KB 6 The same rows as the full CSV, as JSON, with the coverage summary and the licence.
hog-farmgate-average-quarterly.parquet application/vnd.apache.parquet 2 KB 6 The published rows with types: the numeric columns are doubles and a missing figure is a real null rather than the NA token a CSV has to write.

Sizes: the real ones, from the same call that produced the bytes the endpoint serves. There is deliberately no Parquet of the full file — the withdrawn rows are the ones nobody may compute on without looking.

Or the whole archive at once

Every series stacked under one schema, typed, with real nulls. It is not this series — kept in its own block so nobody takes the whole archive by mistake.
