Bayugan, officially the City of Bayugan (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Bayugan; Filipino: Lungsod ng Bayugan), is a component city in the province of Agusan del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 109,499 people.[3].
Gained cityhood through Republic Act No. 9405,[5] it is the only city in the province of Agusan del Sur and also the most populous.
Located at the northern part of Agusan del Sur, Bayugan is the "cut-flower capital" of the province owing to its lucrative cut flower industry. The city's climate, especially in the highland barangays, is conducive to high yield cut-flower production. The city is also one of the major producers of rice and vegetables in the province, even providing for neighboring municipalities and provinces.[citation needed]
