It said that stakeholders must also focus on reducing the cost of inter-island shipping and enhance
the cold chain network.
“These measures will ensure efficient transportation and proper storage of intermediate and prepared
processed vegetable products across the Philippine islands,” it said.
Citing government data, the USDA said that Philippines imported 160,000 metric tons (MT) of fresh
vegetables and 405,000 MT of processed vegetables in 2022. Such imports have grown 17% and 6%,
respectively, over the past 10 years.
“Even if this growth were to be sustained, it would still be inadequate to meet the demand of a
rapidly growing population and the government’s goal of promoting greater vegetable consumption,”
it added.
Additionally, the USDA said that there is a significant opportunity for the US processed vegetable
industry to increase its exports to the Philippines.
“(Processed) vegetables that have the best prospects are the vegetables varieties that are not
extensively produced locally…cooking staples like garlic and onions, which are susceptible to price
shocks, and those that offer convenience and wellness present excellent opportunities,” it said.
The FAS added that the food service, retail, and processing sectors in the Philippines also show
potential for increased take-up of processed vegetables.
US exports to the Philippines include frozen potatoes, potato chips, onion powder, garlic powder,
canned pulses, peppers, pickled vegetables, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and prepared mixed
vegetables. ? Adrian H. Halili
