Abstract: BAYETA, ARIANNE JOY A. “Performance of Traditional and Non-Traditional Exports, Philippines, 1983-2012”. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. October 2014. Adviser: Dr. Luzviminda A. Rodrin. The study was conducted to determine the performance of Philippines’ traditional exports; identify the factors affecting the value of traditional exports and the selected variable which are the foreign exchange rate, consumer price index, and the income of importing countries; determine the performance of Philippines’ non-traditional exports; | identify the factors affecting the value of non-traditional exports and the selected variable which are the foreign exchange rate, consumer price index, and the income of importing countries; and identify the export markets for traditional and non-traditional exports of the Philippines. Data were obtained from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA), and the University Library. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and the multiple linear regression with the aid of Econometric Views (EViews). Results of trend analysis showed that the traditional exports exhibited a decreasing trend from 1983-2012 which resulted from soft demand and lower prices of traditional products in the international market. On the other hand, the non-traditional exports showed an increasing trend. This excellent performance was due to higher demand and higher prices in the world market which greatly helped boost the export sector. Hence, this showed that although the country is considered an agricultural nation, the value of non-traditional exports that consists mostly of manufactured products registered as the highest contributor in the country’s income in terms of its export value. The result of the multiple regression in the value of traditional exports showed that it is significantly affected by the foreign exchange rate and the gross national income of importing countries while the consumer price index did not. On the other hand, the result of multiple regression in the value of non-traditional showed that it is significantly affected by the foreign exchange rate and consumer price index while the gross national income of importing countries did not. A huge amount of exports were from Asia with 52.28 percent share to total exports during the period of observation having Japan as the primary importing country. North America ranked as the second primary export market (26.87%) of the country with United States of America as the primary importing country. The third largest export market is the continent of Europe (18.84%) with Netherlands registered as the primary importing country. Fourth in rank is Oceania (1.33%) with Australia as the primary importer; South America with Brazil as the primary importing country ranked fifth; and Africa with South Africa ranked sixth. Government and private organizations must conduct trainings and seminars for the agricultural growers and also for those employed in manufacturing industry for product development. Close coordination between the government agencies and the private sector should also be maintained in developing and implementing marketing programs for exports and in providing regular updates in international diversification. Furthermore, negotiation of quotas from major quota markets should be given support.

The study was conducted to determine the performance of Philippines’ traditional exports; identify the factors affecting the value of traditional exports and the selected
variable which are the foreign exchange rate, consumer price index, and the income of importing countries; determine the performance of Philippines’ non-traditional exports; | identify the factors affecting the value of non-traditional exports and the selected variable which are the foreign exchange rate, consumer price index, and the income of importing countries; and identify the export markets for traditional and non-traditional exports of the Philippines. Data were obtained from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA), and the University Library.

Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and the multiple linear regression with the aid of Econometric Views (EViews).

Results of trend analysis showed that the traditional exports exhibited a decreasing trend from 1983-2012 which resulted from soft demand and lower prices of traditional products in the international market. On the other hand, the non-traditional exports showed an increasing trend. This excellent performance was due to higher demand and higher prices in the world market which greatly helped boost the export sector. Hence, this showed that although the country is considered an agricultural nation, the value of non-traditional exports that consists mostly of manufactured products registered as the highest contributor in the country’s income in terms of its export value.

The result of the multiple regression in the value of traditional exports showed that it is significantly affected by the foreign exchange rate and the gross national income of importing countries while the consumer price index did not. On the other hand, the result of multiple regression in the value of non-traditional showed that it is significantly affected by the foreign exchange rate and consumer price index while the gross national income of importing countries did not.

A huge amount of exports were from Asia with 52.28 percent share to total exports during the period of observation having Japan as the primary importing country. North America ranked as the second primary export market (26.87%) of the country with United States of America as the primary importing country. The third largest export market is the continent of Europe (18.84%) with Netherlands registered as the primary importing country. Fourth in rank is Oceania (1.33%) with Australia as the primary importer; South America with Brazil as the primary importing country ranked fifth; and Africa with South Africa ranked sixth.

Government and private organizations must conduct trainings and seminars for the agricultural growers and also for those employed in manufacturing industry for product development. Close coordination between the government agencies and the private sector should also be maintained in developing and implementing marketing programs for exports and in providing regular updates in international diversification. Furthermore, negotiation of quotas from major quota markets should be given support.
