The Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) New Delhi, recently met with the Forum of Indian Food Importers (FIFI) to evaluate market entry pathways and expand the commercial footprint of Philippine food and beverage products in India. Representing roughly 7,000 members across distribution, retail, and hospitality sectors, FIFI emphasized that success in India's expanding imported food segment relies heavily on sustained country branding and long-term relationship-building rather than price competition alone.

The discussions identified strong growth potential for Philippine exporters specializing in snack foods, canned seafood, and ube-based products, categories that recently drew significant buyer interest at Anuga Select India in Mumbai. FIFI noted that while competitors from Thailand, South Korea, and Indonesia have captured significant market share through consistent multi-year engagement, Philippine enterprises have a clear window to establish visibility by prioritizing continuous market presence and targeted B2B networking.
