Philippine flour millers urged the government to retain anti-dumping duties on Turkish wheat flour, arguing that ending the measure would expose the domestic industry to cheaper imports while it faces rising input costs. The Tariff Commission held an expiry-review hearing after the Department of Agriculture endorsed the millers' request; Turkey shipped 36,000 tonnes of flour to the Philippines in the first quarter of 2026.
Removing the duties could increase Turkish flour imports, putting pressure on domestic millers and potentially raising demand for imported flour while affecting local milling wheat demand. The outcome of the review could therefore influence Philippine wheat and flour trade flows.
