The Philippines’ total grain imports, including wheat and corn, are expected to decline in the next market year, with African swine fever (ASF) dampening the demand for livestock feed.

The US Department of Agriculture-Foreign Agricultural Service said in its latest Global Agricultural Information Network that after surging in Market Year 2018 to 19, Philippine grain imports – composed mainly of wheat, corn and rice – will decline in MY 2019 to 2020.

Corn imports, on the other hand, were forecast to decline nearly 7 percent to 700,000 tons due to improved production and sufficient stocks. Although area harvested is lowered, rice production will increase by 2 percent due to favorable weather conditions, with imports expected to decline in MY2019 to 2020 because of adequate supply,” USDA said.
