THE US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said farm exports to the Philippines fell 2% in 2025 due to lower wheat prices, according to a report by BusinessWorld. Despite the drop, the Philippines remains among the leading markets for US produce, ranking as the 11th largest destination for US agricultural goods.
Soybean meal was the top US agricultural export to the Philippines in 2025, reflecting strong demand from the country's livestock and poultry sectors. The decline in overall value was primarily attributed to lower global wheat prices, which reduced the total export value even as volumes remained relatively steady.
The USDA data underscores the Philippines' continued reliance on US agricultural imports despite price fluctuations. The country's growing population and increasing food consumption are expected to sustain demand for US produce in the coming years, though trade policies and global commodity prices will likely influence future trends.
