Philippines Agriculture Sector Report 2016/2017

The Philippines is an agrarian country, with half of its population living in the rural areas and being engaged in farming. Agriculture and forestry contributed some 8.8% to the national GDP on its own, and some 10.3% if fisheries are included, official data showed. Agriculture in the Philippines has been struggling with fragmentation and low levels of technological adoption and specialisation, as highlighted by its flagging GVA over the 2011-2015 period. Yet the sector enjoys good fundamentals in the face of farming traditions, a large farming population and good global positions in several subsectors such as coconut and rice growing, sugar manufacturing and fisheries. Additional favourable factors include a growing population, an expanding food processing industry and a government focus on reforms.
