The Three-Year Food Logistics Action Agenda aims to provide effective and efficient food distribution strategies to ensure that consumers get the right product at the right time, the right price in a reliable manner—food that is available, accessible, and affordable to every Filipino. In order to achieve the key outcomes, the DTI has developed six key strategies:
- Revolutionizing the food distribution system.
- Reducing transport and logistics costs.
- Increasing investments in logistics infrastructure.
- Addressing other supply chain gaps.
- Heightening enforcement measures.
- Utilizing ICT to improve logistics performance.
The Philippine Skills Framework for Supply Chain and Logistics (PSF-SCL) is a program by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), SkillsFuture Singapore, and local partners to build a skilled and future-ready logistics workforce. It focuses on four areas: warehousing, transportation, freight forwarding, and logistics information technology. The goal is to guide career growth, align education, and support workforce planning in the logistics sector.
The Supply Chain and Logistics Group aims to simplify logistics regulations by working with industry stakeholders and government agencies. It is reviewing the results of Phase 1 of the Logistics Services Philippines Streamlining Initiative and will partner with the Anti- Red Tape Authority for Phase 2 to improve regulations and industry compliance.
The Warehouse Study and Registry is a key project by the Department of Trade and Industry to improve food security and logistics resilience in the country. It aims to address supply chain gaps by creating a detailed warehouse study and an online registry. The project will guide policy and investment decisions by classifying warehouses, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building a system for emergency food storage and distribution.
To implement this project, DTI partnered with PRIME Philippines, a consulting firm selected through public bidding. PRIME will assess the current warehousing landscape, monitor supply trends, and provide strategic recommendations to strengthen food logistics and support e- commerce growth. The pilot study will cover 14 regions and 27 provinces, focusing on major agricultural and logistics areas to support national planning and future demands.
