Philippines regains position as the world's second-largest banana exporter in 2025
The Philippines returned to being the second-biggest banana exporter in 2025, shipping 3 million metric tons after a rebound in production.
According to a global trade report, the Philippines exported 3 million metric tons of bananas in 2025, a 30 percent rise from the previous year. This surge restored the country to the No. 2 spot in worldwide banana exports. The recovery follows a recent disease outbreak and other setbacks that had previously lowered output. The data underscores the resilience of the Philippine banana sector.
Why it matters
The rebound boosts the Philippines' agricultural earnings and stabilizes global banana supply.
