Demand for milling and feed wheat in the Philippines is expected to increase in 2018-19 due to considerable investments in the domestic flour and feed milling industries. The report said wheat imports are expected to increase 550,000 tonnes to 5.75 million tonnes, driven mainly by growing feed demand. This growing demand also is expected to increase corn imports by 200,000 tonnes to 700,000 tonnes. Rice imports are likely to decline 300,000 tonnes to 1 million tonnes in 2018-19 due to increasing production and shifting dietary preferences toward wheat and protein.
