Philippines

The Philippines produces roughly 27,500 tonnes of green chili and bell pepper annually, with production rising steadily and peaking in 2022. Major pepper farming provinces include Ilocos, Central Luzon, and Bicol, where regional varieties like siling labuyo (wild chili) and siling haba (long chili) hold culinary importance.

Bell pepper yield and market value are also increasing, supported by sustainable farming programs. Chili peppers in the Philippines are eaten fresh, dried, or processed into condiments and sauces, forming an essential part of Filipino food culture and agricultural livelihoods.
