Philippines Food and Beverage Sector Report 2025-2026

The food & beverage sector plays an important role in the Philippine economy, accounting for 9.2% of GDP in 2024. The country holds leading positions in the global production of rice, pork, coconuts and bananas in 2024, complemented with a strong global performance in the export of bananas and coconut oil. It is worth noting that the firms operating in the Philippine food & beverage industry rely on the robust demand of the domestic market. However, the international competitiveness of the Philippine F&B sector remains limited. In 2024, F&B exports accounted for only 6.1% of the country's total exports, while imports made up 7% of total imports, according to the International Trade Centre (ITC). The sector also presented recurrent trade deficits over the 2019-2024 period, with five segments reporting trade deficits in 2024. These include food residues & animal fodder, beverages, sugar, cereal preparations, and cocoa & cocoa preparations. To strengthen its position, the Philippine F&B industry must enhance productivity not only to reduce reliance on imports in meeting strong domestic demand but also to boost export competitiveness in global markets.
