Development and constraints of food industries in the Philippines.

An overview of the Philippine food industry is presented focusing in particular on its inability to meet domestic requirements. Although investment in the food industry is increasing as a result of participation in GATT/WTO, constraints to increased production remain and include: low level of use and high costs of inputs; lack of credit and financial assistance; lack of infrastructure; and ineffective government intervention in marketing. Other problems include a lack of postharvest technology, ineffective quarantine measures and inadequate training and research.
