Overview

The Philippines’ rapidly expanding production of processed foods and beverages presents robust opportunities for U.S. exporters of agricultural raw materials and high-value ingredients.  Roughly 90 percent of the Philippine food and beverage processing industry’s output is consumed domestically, with excellent growth prospects stemming from the country’s resilient economy and strong consumer base.  In addition, as quality and efficiency continue to improve, the Philippines will be in a position to exploit export opportunities due to its strategic location and membership in various free trade agreements.
