Not further prepared dried vegetables market in the Philippines, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

The market for not further prepared dried vegetables in the Philippines saw its volume decrease from 100 683 tons in 2018 to 93 745 tons in 2020. This decline was notably influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which shifted consumer behavior toward reduced purchase volume and frequency for vegetables, impacting overall market sales.

From 2021, the market volume recovered, reaching 98 292 tons in 2022. This growth was supported by efforts to increase vegetable production through cost-reducing and productivity-enhancing technologies, alongside government measures to stabilize supply after typhoon-related disruptions. However, in 2023, drought conditions in key regions like Cebu caused significant production contractions, contributing to a market volume decrease to 96 595 tons despite broader improvements in weather and rising consumer interest in plant-based diets.
