On April 14, the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines informed that since the beginning of 2025, the Philippines' rice import demand has continued to increase, domestic rice prices have remained high, while domestic supply remains unstable.

The Philippine government has implemented many measures to control prices and ensure food security, however, the market still has many potential fluctuations.
