520 3 _aIn the last decade, there has been an observed shift in the global consumption and production patterns from grains and other starchy-staples to fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products. These trends have significantly changed market structures, income distribution patterns, and health and nutrition. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether the Philippines follows the same trend or not. Production data from 200-2017 was analyzed through time-series, while consumption patterns in 2012 and 2015-2016 were estimated using the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). Results show that the expenditure elasticity of goods are generally decreasing; own-price elasticities are increasing, indicating that consumers are more sensitive to price changes; and cross-price elasticities are illustrating that the selected commodities were substitutable in 2012, and some became complementary in 2015-2016. The increasing demand for diversified products poses a problem for the industries due to problems such as: poor quality and low quantity of production, considerable postharvest losses, and limited market information and access. Therefore, the government and non-government interventions on infrastructure development, crop-specific varietal research and development efforts, technical knowledge building is recommended to reap the benefits of shifting consumption and production patterns.
