Philippines: Growing an appetite for healthy foods

More Veggies Please (MVP), the consumer brand under Metro Pacific Fresh Farms, has started its retail rollout across Metro Manila, making its debut in S&R Membership Shopping locations. Additional supermarket partners are expected to follow in the coming weeks.

Grown and harvested in modern greenhouse facilities in the Philippines, More Veggies Please brings a new standard of freshness, safety, and quality to the fresh produce aisle. By combining modern agricultural technology, sustainable practices, and using non-GMO seeds, MVP ensures that every vegetable is grown with care, producing more consistent and safer harvests than those from traditional farming.

According to a 2023 survey by Kantar, 97 percent of Filipinos place high importance on purchasing healthy grocery items yet only 72 percent are able to do so consistently, pointing to a gap between intent and accessibility.
