The market for sweet potato flour is growing in the Philippines as gluten-free and alternative flours gain popularity. Used in baking and processed foods, sweet potato flour is appreciated for its fiber content and lower glycemic index. Small- and medium-scale enterprises and farmers are tapping into this niche to meet local and export demand.
Sweet potato flour is gaining popularity as an alternative to wheat flour, especially in health and wellness food segments. In the Philippines, it is being used in bread, noodles, and pastry production, with growing support from agribusinesses and food processors aiming to diversify raw material sources and promote local crops.
This market struggles with inefficient farming practices, inadequate drying and milling technologies, and competition from more established flours like wheat and cassava. The lack of government support and R&D further hinders commercialization.
The flour variant is gaining traction in the Philippines due to its use in gluten-free baking and traditional Filipino recipes. There is significant potential for local processing units and regional brand development, especially if coupled with farmer cooperatives to ensure supply chain consistency. Investors may also explore opportunities in retail packaging, B2B sales to bakeries and food producers, and even e-commerce health food platforms.
Sweet potato flour is included in government nutrition and food security initiatives. The DA promotes its use as a rice alternative and funds R&D on processing technologies. The FDA ensures quality standards for flour safety and suitability for school feeding programs.
