Philippines Agribusiness Sector Report 2024-2025

The agribusiness sector plays an important role in the Philippines' economy, accounting for 9.4% of GDP in 2023 and 22.2% of employment in October 2023. The Philippines occupies leading positions in the global production of rice, pork, coconuts and bananas. However, the agribusiness industry in the Philippines presents low levels of productivity and international competitiveness due to the relatively high presence of small farmers with limited access to finance and limited technology usage. This is reflected in the export and import performance of the agribusiness industry as the sectorial exports represented only 3.7% of the country's total exports in 2023, while imports had a share of 7.2% over total imports. Furthermore, the sector presents chronic trade deficits in its three main segments (crop, livestock, and fisheries), with a structural dependence on imports of key products such as rice, wheat, pork, beef, and poultry meat.
