Australian Supermarket Chain Offers Philippine Coconut Products

The Department of Trade and Industry, said in a statement, Filipino products are now available in 262 Woolworths stores in Australia.  The supermarket chain carries Philippine products such as organic coconut water, virgin coconut oil, coconut flour, banana chips, canned pineapples, aside from traditional Filipino products popular among consumers such as mixes and sauces, vinegars, noodles, savory snacks, canned sardines, and tuna.

“The availability of Filipino products in Woolworths provides consumers with more options, convenience, and accessibility, but we are also seeing a multiplier effect on small businesses as they provide niche products such as home cooked foods and native cakes, as well as services such as remittances, cargo and shipping services, TFC packages, that cater to the community. Overall, the market expands and benefits both consumers and businesses,” said Bob Harris, marketing consultant for importer DHN Trading.
