OVERVIEW

Agriculture plays a significant role in the

Philippine economy. Roughly 70% of the

countrys population is in the rural areas and

agriculture contributes about 12% to the

countrys GDP.


3/23

Almost 5 million farmers cultivate 9.7 million

hectares, or about 30 per cent of the total

land area of the country. Coconut, rice, maize

and sugarcane are the top four crops

cultivated.


4/23

Coconut was traditionally the major export

earner, but with depressed prices for copra

and other coconut products, production has

decreased, particularly as trees have not been

replaced. Banana, coconut oil, tuna,pineapple, tobacco and seaweed are the top

exports. High quality robusta and excelsa

coffees are produced in the country but verylittle is exported.


5/23

Agricultural Production: rice, corn, livestock,& poultry

Major Philippines Agricultural Exports: woodproducts, coconut oil and other coconut

products, bananas and plantains, milk andcream powder, fish and seafood

Major U.S. Agricultural Exports to the

Philippines: grains, wheat, soybean meal,dairy products, red meats, rice

In the case of meat and poultry, imports can only be

made from foreign meat establishments (i.e.

abattoirs/slaughterhouses), which are accredited by

the Department of Agriculture. All U.S. federally

inspected and approved meat establishments located

in the United States are eligible to export to the

Philippines.

Import licenses/permits must be obtained from the

relevant regulatory body for the goods to be importedto the Philippines before the products are shipped

from the exporting countries.

All agricultural and food products entering the

Philippines must be accompanied by a phytosanitary or

health certificate issued by the regulatory body in the

exporting country. This is required to be submitted for

that enter the Philippines, are required to pass throughprocedures designed to check that they are notcontaminated with any pest and that they are fit for theirintended use.

The health and phytosanitary regulations and

procedures applied on imported agriculture and

food products are broadly similar for all types ofproducts. Under Philippine import laws, it is the

responsibility of the importer to ensure that any

product entering the countrys customs territoryis in full compliance with Philippine health and

phytosanitary regulations. The enforcing

authorities will check for compliance by

inspecting the goods and relevant import/exportdocumentation and decide on whether the goods

may enter the Philippines.


22/23

In cases of non-compliance, the goods may berequired to be treated before being releasedor they may be rejected and ordereddestroyed or disposed of outside the

Philippines. It is therefore very important thatimporters and exporters ensure thatcompliance is achieved before the goods are

shipped to the Philippines.
