What does Philippines produce?
Commodities where Philippines is a top-ten producer
Philippines's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Philippines's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Philippines dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.
Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Philippines's own $9.6 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Gold alone is 32% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Philippines compares with other countries.
