5.19.20 The Philippines has been the No. 1 market for Pacific Northwest soft white wheat for four years running, reason enough to listen to a presentation given by the director of national sales of the flour division of Universal Robina Corporation based in Manilla. In episode 178 entitled: “A Philippine-Centric View of South Asia Wheat Demand”, Naida Elbora provides insight about her company as well as the future of wheat imports into the region.
