The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-Sultan Kudarat Provincial Office is set to release the results of the 2021-2023 Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) of Sultan Kudarat Province compilation through a dissemination forum on December 03, 2024.

Moreover, the Provincial Statistics Committee (PSC)-Sultan Kudarat and Tacurong City Statistics Committee have passed resolutions enjoining all government agencies and the private sector in Sultan Kudarat Province to support the 2021-2023 PPA data collection.
