The area in the eastern part of the Visayas experiences heavier, more persistent rainfall because it faces the Pacific and is exposed to the northeast monsoon and frequent tropical systems. That abundant moisture often comes with rugged terrain and thinner soils, which limits the amount of flat, farmable land. So you get a combination of a moister climate with comparatively little arable land. In contrast, central and western parts tend to have more extensive plains and a more favorable balance of rainfall and soil for farming, supporting more arable land.
