The Philippines Cash Cropping Project (PCCP) was conducted between 1984 and 1985 that followed 510 households in Southern Bukidnon Province, Philippines, to assess the impact of cash cropping (sugarcane) versus subsistence farming (corn) on household nutrition and economic outcomes. Participants were recruited in early 1984 through a pre-survey of 2,039 households across 18 villages, from which a stratified random sample was drawn based on crop type, land size, and presence of young children. Eligible households were those farming less than 15 hectares, with at least one child under 60 months, and whose primary occupation was in corn or sugarcane production. Households were followed up four times at four-month intervals over a 13-month period, with 448 households completing all rounds.
