The Philippines is projected to increase its wheat imports to 7.2 million metric tons for the 2024-2025 marketing year, marking a 4.1% rise from the previous year, as reported by the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). This increase is attributed to growing demand for wheat-based products and population growth. The country's demand for milling wheat is expected to rise by 4.3% to 3.65 million MT, while feed wheat consumption is forecasted to remain stable at 3.45 million MT.

Additionally, the price of milling wheat has decreased to $274 per MT, while imported corn prices have been declining since May.
