About Us
65+ Years of Advancing the Philippine Food Industry
For more than six decades, the Philippine Chamber of Food Manufacturers, Inc. (PCFMI) has helped shape a safer, stronger, and more globally competitive Philippine food manufacturing sector—one that delivers reliable supply, consumer trust, and continuous innovation.
PCFMI was organized on December 5, 1958, and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 20, 1959. Today, it remains one of the country’s most recognized voices in the food industry, uniting manufacturers across essential food categories while engaging with government, academia, and partners to advance science-based policy and responsible industry practices.
