28 August 2001. The Philippines was one of very few Asian trading partners with whom Canada significantly increased both imports and exports during 1999. Canada continued to look to the Philippines as a supplier of electronic goods, especially semiconductors, computer components and televisions, which have supplanted more traditional manufactured imports like watches and telephones. Canada also imports substantial amounts of tuna and coconuts.
Wheat is by far Canada's largest export to the Philippines.
Telecommunications equipment exports are likely to have a significant impact in the future reflecting SR Telecom's 1999 contract for the design and supply of fixed wireless telephone networks. 2000, Catalogue No. 65-006 .
