Philippine agriculture production decreased by 1.5 percent in the second quarter of the year, against the 0.5-percent increase recorded in the same period a year ago, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

In a statement on Monday, the PSA attributed the output drop to the decline in livestock and fisheries production.
