Philippines: FAS Programs Grow Dried Fruit and Nut Business
A Philippine importer grew their business from two U.S. products (almonds and raisins) and two customers in 1995 to almost 30 products of dried fruits and nuts, and dehydrated potatoes across 500 institutional customers and retail outlets nationwide. Since 2001, the company has actively participated in FAS Manila’s initiatives, such as pavilions at local food and beverage shows, and regular tabletop and menu promotions, Cochran Fellowship Programs, a Quality Samples Program, and buying missions co-organized by State Regional Trade Groups.
