There is a tremendous potential in the Philippine vegetable sector. Annually, the country’s vegetable production is increasing by almost 2% and the growth of area being dedicated to planting vegetables is at 1.7%. Vegetable farmers in the Philippines show strong potential to compete with ASEAN counterparts for the $2 billion Asia-Pacific market which is expected to grow to $3 billion by 2021.
Vegetable production plays a fundamental role in fulfilling many of Philippines’ basic needs: food, feed, energy. Major vegetables and root crops include cabbage, carrots, lettuce, eggplant, tomato, onion, and chili.
To support growers and those who take care of our environment, BASF develops innovative solutions for farming so that we can effectively contribute to improving people’s lives and business’ demands.
