    Top 10 Imported Fruits Loved in the Philippines

    August 22, 2016

    Tropical fruits on displayBananas, pineapples, guavas and mangoes are the top
    fruits exported from the Philippines. The top 10 fruits imported into the
    Philippines tell a different story about Filipino tastes in fresh, dried or frozen
    fruits.
    Fresh apples represent 42.6% of the overall value of Filipino-imported fruits
    during 2015 valued at a total US$205.6 million. Fresh grapes may have been a
    distant second at 16.2%, but combined with apples, those two types of fruit
    represent almost half of the Philippines overall purchases of fruits on global
    markets.
    Eight of the top 10 imports include fresh fruits, that is perishables with limited
    shelf-lives. China supplies over 90% of imported apples, with 6.3% originating
    from faraway United States and 1.8% coming from apple growers in New
    Zealand. On the other hand, America provides almost two-thirds (62%) of
    imported fresh grapes compared 21.9% for Australia, 14.6% for Chile and just
    1.4% for China.
    Including fresh, dried or frozen, the overall value for all categories of imported
    Filipino fruits rose by 37.9% from 2011 to 2015.
