Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and simultaneous equations using Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) were used in the import demand estimations.

Moreover, the study was able to identify that Philippine canned pineapple is a normal good in Japan and Netherlands which suggest that canned pineapple has market potential in these countries. Thus, there are still opportunities for market expansions in Japan and Netherlands. For the industry to remain competitive in the export market, the government must provide support mechanisms, implement price reduction policies and invest in the processing industry.
