# FAS - Foreign Agricultural Service (via Public) / Philippines: Grain and Feed Update

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
