Senate to probe declining sugar industry
Business World Philippines
|February 13, 2026
A SENATE RESOLUTION calling for a review of the Philippines’ sugar industry has been filed amid concerns over falling competitiveness.
Senate Resolution No. 298, filed by Senator Ana Theresia N. Hontiveros-Baraquel, seeks a review of the country’s sugar development laws, citing persistent challenges for local producers.
Despite the Sugar Industry Development Act, domestic sugar prices remain high, millers struggle to keep up, and producers face competition from imported sweeteners, she said in a statement.
“The competitiveness of the local sugar industry has steadily declined due to low farm productivity, high production costs and inefficient milling operations,” Ms. Hontiveros said.
