They continue to be a source of inspiration in the exporting community, including to aspiring exporters, and important drivers of the country’s economic growth. While we continue to work with the exporting community to pave the way toward exporting breakthroughs, we take a moment to recognize and celebrate the success of our top exporters and the role of our public and private sector partners in the strides we have achieved to develop and grow Philippine exports,” Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual said in a statement.

Of this number, 403 exporters in 2020 managed to increase their export sales by more than US$1 million compared to their previous year; this number almost doubled to 742 in 2021.
