    Scoping Study on Reducing Unnecessary Regulatory Burdens in the Philippine Food Manufacturing Industry

    Manalili, Nerlita M. | June 2017
    Abstract
    The food manufacturing industry (FMI) is a major contributor to the country’s total manufacturing output. However, despite the industry’s performance in terms of job creation and income generation, it is constrained by existing regulatory procedures and processes. A scoping study providing an assessment of the Philippine FMI subsectors and the regulatory system governing it is reported here. Specifically, this study aims to map out the existing regulatory procedures and processes in the sector, determine key bottlenecks in the regulatory process chain, and prepare an estimation of the regulatory burden of the bottlenecks. Literature review and consultations were conducted for various food manufacturing subsectors (FMS) and concerned government agencies. This scoping study revealed that regulatory bottlenecks are related to four major concerns, namely (1) organizational matters, which are related to both administrative and human resource requirements of Food Safety Regulatory Agencies (FSRAs); 2) regulation, which refers to the compliance requirements, regulatory, associated fees; 3) trade and market access; and 4) consumer-related concern especially the low consumer rights awareness and movements. Thus, industry wide plans covering both development tracks and the needed regulatory enhancements covering the above-mentioned areas would be beneficial to all the FMS. An in-depth study of the sectors, particularly that of the other food products, dairy sector, and grain mill and starch products, should also be given due consideration.
