Philippines Agriculture Sector Report 2018/2019

The Philippines is an agrarian country, with half of its population engaged in farming. In 2017, the agriculture and forestry sector alone contributed 8.4% to national GDP – a share which rises to 9.6% if fisheries are included – according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Agriculture in the Philippines has been struggling with fragmentation and low levels of technology adoption and specialisation. However, the sector enjoys good fundamentals given the country’s farming traditions, its large farming population, and its good global position as an exporter of coconut, sugar, and fish. The Philippines’ staple food is rice, which it produces but also imports in significant quantities. The country does not produce wheat or other small grains and also imports most of the dairy products it consumes.
