Top Philippine export products in 2026

The Philippines is the 34th largest exporter in the world, but most people only know about one or two of its products. Here's what's actually selling well internationally right now.

Coconut products

The Philippines is the world's second largest coconut producer. Coconut oil, virgin coconut oil, desiccated coconut, coconut cream, coconut water, coconut flour, and coconut sugar all have strong export demand. The EU and US are the biggest markets.

Dried fruit

Philippine dried mango is considered the best in the world. But there's also dried pineapple, banana chips, dried papaya, and jackfruit chips. Demand for tropical dried fruit keeps growing as consumers look for healthier snacks.

Seafood

Tuna, prawns, milkfish (bangus), and seaweed products. The Philippines has one of the longest coastlines in the world, and its seafood industry is well-established. Japan, the US, and the EU are major markets.

Furniture and home decor

Rattan furniture, bamboo products, capiz shell lighting, and woven home accessories. Philippine furniture has a distinct look that appeals to the global market. The craftsmanship is genuinely high quality and labour costs keep pricing competitive.

Fashion and accessories

Abaca fibre bags, woven textiles, shell jewellery, and locally designed clothing. Philippine fashion has a growing international following, especially for sustainable and handmade products.

Beauty and personal care

Coconut-based skincare, papaya soap, calamansi products, and herbal beauty products. The natural beauty trend works in the Philippines' favour because many of these ingredients are locally grown and processed.

Coffee and cacao

Philippine Arabica and Liberica (barako) coffee are getting attention from speciality roasters worldwide. Cacao from Davao is now being used by craft chocolate makers in Europe and the US.

Agriculture

Fresh fruit (mangoes, bananas, pineapples), rice, sugar, and processed agricultural products. The Philippines is a major agricultural producer, though logistics and cold chain can be challenging for perishables.

What's driving demand

Three things: growing interest in Southeast Asian products in Western markets, competitive pricing compared to established export countries, and improving trade infrastructure. The Philippines also benefits from trade agreements with the EU, Japan, Australia, and other major markets that reduce or eliminate import duties on many product categories.
