The USDA FAS Manila raised its forecast for Philippine rough rice and corn production in MY 2025/26 on favorable weather and government support. Rice imports are forecast lower due to a 60-day import ban, partly offset by higher carryover stocks.
A lower Philippine import forecast removes a major buyer from world rice trade and weighs on export prices. Higher domestic output reduces the need for imported rice.
After 87 past bearish report events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -2.1% to +2.4%), and +1.1% over 20.
