A Staple Means of Living
Despite the numerous skyscrapers, mega shopping centres, and luxurious lifestyle that people have in the Philippines, agriculture remains to be a staple industry. It is where the Filipino people get their nourishment from. Moreover, agriculture is still a main commodity for trade with other countries.
You will find rice, corn, coconut and its products, sugar and its by-products, mangoes, coffee, tobacco, rubber, and many others to be exported to other countries like India, Malaysia, Thailand, Canada, US, and many others. Aside from that, livestock is also a very big part of the agriculture industry. With world-class quality meat, fish, and poultry products being exported to many major countries throughout the planet, people continue to have high hopes for the country despite the recent tragedies it has experienced.
