The Philippines will remain as the world’s largest rice importer in 2025 for the third consecutive year as the country turns to foreign supplies to feed its growing population.
MANILA, Philippines —
The projected volume is 100,000 MT higher than the county‘s estimated 4.1 million MT of rice imports for this year, according to the USDA. The USDA takes into account all forms of rice – from rough, brown to milled and broken – in its projection estimates. The USDA converts everything into a milled-equivalent basis to come up with its projections.
The USDA projects that the Philippines would have a total rice consumption and requirement of 17.1 million MT next year, three percent higher than this year’s 16.6 million MT estimate. The Philippines would remain as the world’s sixth largest rice consumer. Rice imports account for about a fifth of the country’s annual supply, excluding beginning stocks, based on government data, since the country liberalized and deregulated its rice trade regime in 2019.
