Philippines: Philippine Market Opens to US Potatoes - Trade Doubles

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In June 2013, the Philippine Department of Agriculture formally allowed the importation of U.S. fresh table stock potatoes for consumption. Prior to the USDA negotiated market access, all U.S. fresh potatoes entering the Philippine market were restricted to chipping and processing purposes. Following the opening, U.S. fresh potato exports to the Philippines nearly doubled in 2013 to 10,161 MT (compared to 5,289 MT in 2012). Industry and trade contacts estimate total 2014 U.S. potato exports will reach 15,000 MT.
