  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   RP2023-0062

FAS Manila projects the food service sector to grow at 20 percent as the tourism and hotel industry improves in 2023. Dining in restaurants, catering, and events will continue to boost sales while food deliveries offer convenience. As the seventh-largest market for U.S. consumer-oriented exports, the Philippine food service sector provides strong opportunities for meat products, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, bakery products, chocolate and sugar confectionery, sauces, condiments, seasonings, non-alcoholic beverages, and wines.
