Local traders said the recent strong showing of local exports does not mean an overall recovery for the entire sector since the growth is not spread out.
The country’s furniture and furnishings sector is expected to recover at least two more years should the present global economic activity continue to improve.
MANILA, Philippines – A task force composed of major stakeholders and key players in the furniture export industry is needed to craft and implement a five-year sustainable strategic marketing plan meant not only to promote local products abroad but also market the country as a preferred investment site.
Philippine furniture and home décor exporters are asking the government for aid, including a P1-billion export development fund and pegging of the exchange rate at P55 to the dollar, saying they faced “extinction.”
