What happened
The United States Department of Agriculture projects that Philippine dairy output will rise to 48,000 MT in liquid milk equivalent in 2027, up from 46,000 MT this year, driven by government programs and herd growth. Despite this domestic increase, the USDA forecasts that the Philippines will import 185,000 MT of skim-milk powder next year, a 2% increase from the 2026 forecast. Higher input and transport costs, driven by rising fuel prices, tempered the overall import outlook.
