 The Philippines’ <\/u><\/a>Department of Agriculture (DA) has downplayed any effect on its 65-year long agricultural trade with Israel despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza.<\/u><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking October 10, 2023, DA\u2019s Assistant Secretary for Operations, Arnel de Messa said that there will be \u201cvery little impact<\/u><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel is currently involved in retaliation against Hamas, which launched a surprise attack inside Israel over the weekend, killing hundreds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Trade Important to Israel<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even as the conflict rages, food security is still a topmost priority for the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel\u2019s food sector plays an important role in the consumer market<\/u><\/a> as 15%<\/u><\/a> of all household budgets go to food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While feeding its population with the surplus, the country manages to export $2.181 billion (2020 data) in agricultural goods while food imports amount to\u00a0$7.09 billion\u00a0(2020 data).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States and the Philippines are key allies in Israeli agricultural trade. In 2020, the U.S. exported $500 million worth of food products to Israel or 7.1%<\/u><\/a> of the Israeli market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. main exports to Israel include tree nuts,  which were worth $123.52 million<\/u><\/a> in 2022.  Corn, the second biggest agricultural good that the U.S. shipped there, experienced most Israeli demand in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines, in its part, saw a phenomenal improvement in trade with Israel, which grew by 94% in 2022 from 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture represented 1.6% of the total exports worth $340 million by Israel to the Philippines in 2022. Key shipped produce and foodstuff included vegetables, fruit juice, sauce and sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its lush Ag economy, the Philippines\u2019 agricultural exports ranked second among all exports to Israel in 2022.  Food shipments represented 6.1%, while machinery took the lion\u2019s share of 83% of all shipped goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agricultural range from Manila to Israel includes coconut and tree nuts, fruits, fruit juice, wheat products, pasta and fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PH\u2019s Fruit Juice exports, Fertilizer imports in 2023<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By mid-2023, Israel had already  imported 3.366 million<\/u><\/a> in agricultural goods from Manila. In equal measure, the Philippines imported 4,555 tonnes of potash fertilizer from Israel between January and October, 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Messa notes that in 2022, Israel bought 3.441 million kg of desiccated coconut and fruit concentrates from his country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is looking forward for a fast resolution to the Hamas-Israel war for the good of bilateral operations, particularly Israeli agricultural trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
