European poultry – a stable partner for Filipino consumers and importers

 

 Manila, 28 January, 2026 – As part of the information and promotion campaign co-financed by the European Union "European Poultry - From Our Farms to Your Tables" Filipino consumers and business partners have the opportunity to learn more about the distinguishing features of poultry meat from the European Union: safety, high quality, concern for animal welfare and sustainable production.

In the following interview, Dariusz Goszczyński, President of the Management Board of the National Poultry Council - Chamber of Commerce (KRD-IG) in Poland, explains why European poultry is highly regarded around the world and what prospects for long-term cooperation are opening up before importers and the hospitality industry in the Philippines.

Manila, 28 January, 2026 – As part of the information and promotion campaign co-financed by the European Union "European Poultry - From Our Farms to Your Tables" Filipino consumers and business partners have the opportunity to learn more about the distinguishing features of poultry meat from the European Union: safety, high quality, concern for animal welfare and sustainable production.

In the following interview, Dariusz Goszczyński, President of the Management Board of the National Poultry Council - Chamber of Commerce (KRD-IG) in Poland, explains why European poultry is highly regarded around the world and what prospects for long-term cooperation are opening up before importers and the hospitality industry in the Philippines.

1. One of the fastest growing populations in Southeast Asia is in the Philippines, generating increased demand for animal protein. How can poultry imported from the European Union meet these growing needs while ensuring a stable supply and consistent quality?

In recent years, there has been a steady increase in European poultry exports to the Philippines. This is a clear sign that local consumers and importers increasingly appreciate the quality of EU products. It is worth noting that Poland alone shipped 26,000 tons of poultry meat to the Philippines last year, and in the period through August of this year, it has already shipped 29,000 tons.

Global forecasts indicate that in the coming decades, Asia will be the region with the highest demand for protein. Manufacturers in Europe are well positioned to respond to this: we have a modern production base, advanced technologies and one of the most rigorous veterinary surveillance systems in the world. The result is a product of stable, repeatable quality, whose delivery can be scheduled with a high degree of predictability – which is crucial for the rapidly growing Filipino market.

2. The poultry market in the Philippines is highly sensitive to safety issues, partly due to historical animal disease outbreaks in the region. How, then, can the European poultry sector – with its model of control at every stage of production – strengthen the sense of security for Filipino consumers and importers?

Food safety is the foundation of European poultry production. We are bound by the "field-to-table" inspection model, which means that every stage – from breeding, transport and processing to the final product – is subject to constant veterinary supervision. This ensures that importers have full traceability and transparency of the origin of each product batch. What's more, many producers in the EU are implementing additional voluntary quality systems beyond the requirements of the law. As a result, European poultry is considered a stable, safe, and high-quality product. This builds trust with Filipino partners.

3. The importance of sustainable production and responsible sourcing of food is growing globally, also in the Philippines, among both young consumers and importers. How does the European poultry industry demonstrate that its products are made responsibly – with concern for the environment and animal welfare?

European manufacturers, including Polish, are investing heavily in modern solutions that reduce the environmental impact of production. The solutions used include, among others, energy-saving LED systems, process automation, heat recovery technologies, photovoltaic installations and biogas plants, among others. Improving feed efficiency is also increasingly important, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, Europe has some of the most extensive animal welfare regulations. Farmers regularly implement advanced systems for monitoring poultry health and welfare, and many producers choose to voluntarily raise standards above those required by law. This shows that European poultry is produced in a responsible, modern way and in line with the expectations of today's conscious consumers – including those in the Philippines.

4. The Philippine market is very diverse, with a mix of modern dining in the cities and traditional regional cuisine. What qualities of European poultry can make it an attractive choice for both the hospitality industry and for those cooking in Filipino homes on a daily basis?

European poultry is a product of high nutritional value, rich in complete protein, vitamins and minerals while being easily digestible and low-fat. For chefs, both professional and those in Filipino homes, its versatility is especially important. Its natural, delicate flavor makes it suitable for both traditional and modern dishes inspired by international cuisines. This makes it an attractive choice for the Filipino food service industry and households that value versatile, easy-to-handle and high-quality products.

5. Imports to the Philippines rely heavily on long-term business relations and supplier transparency. How can the "European Poultry - From Our Farms to Your Tables" campaign build trust with Filipino partners and foster long-lasting cooperation with European exporters?

Trust is the pillar of long-term cooperation – and trust is built through consistent quality, safety and full transparency of production processes. European exporters attach great importance to open dialogue with business partners so that they can respond quickly to the needs of the Philippine market and develop their offer together. The campaign "European Poultry - From Our Farms to Your Tables" reinforces this trust, presenting reliable knowledge of European production standards and showing that cooperation with EU exporters means high quality standards, full production transparency, stable supply, and long-term business security.

BesCost Celebrates 11 Years as a Leading Large Format and All-in-One Printing Company in Metro Manila, Completing Over 8,000 Successful Projects

 

 Metro Manila, Philippines — As it enters 2026, BesCost proudly marks its 11th year in the Philippine printing industry, standing strong as one of Metro Manila’s leading large format and all-in-one printing companies. Over the past decade, BesCost has successfully completed more than 8,000 printing and signage projects, helping thousands of businesses become more visible, professional, and trusted.

From small startups printing their first signage to growing brands expanding across multiple locations, BesCost has become a reliable partner for businesses that need fast, high-quality, and end-to-end printing solutions in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

Growing With Metro Manila’s Businesses

Metro Manila is one of the busiest business hubs in the Philippines. Every day, new stores open, brands launch promotions, and companies compete for attention. In this fast-moving environment, visibility matters.

BesCost was built to answer a simple but important need: to help businesses stand out through clear, professional, and well-made prints and signage.

Over the years, the company has worked on a wide range of projects, including:

● Large format banners and tarpaulins

● Storefront and indoor signage

● Acrylic, stainless, brass, and LED signs

● Roll-up banners, wall graphics, and standees

● Digital and offset printed materials

With over 8,000 completed projects, BesCost has become a familiar name for business owners searching for “large format printing in Metro Manila”, “custom signage Philippines”, and “one-stop printing services.”

An All-in-One Printing Partner, Not Just a Print Shop

What makes BesCost different from many printing shops is its all-in-one service model.

Instead of asking clients to work with multiple suppliers, BesCost handles everything in one place:

● Quotation and material guidance

● Printing and fabrication

● Delivery and professional installation

This approach saves clients time, reduces stress, and ensures that projects are completed correctly and on schedule. Whether it is a single banner or a full store setup, clients know they can rely on one team from start to finish.

Speed, Quality, and Clear Communication

Many business owners have experienced delayed prints, poor quality output, or unclear updates from suppliers. BesCost built its reputation by doing the opposite.

The company is known for:

● Fast replies and quick quotations

● Consistent print quality

● On-time delivery and installation

● Clear and honest communication

These values have helped BesCost earn long-term trust from clients across retail, food and beverage, clinics, offices, events, and corporate brands.

Leadership That Understands Small and Growing Businesses

Behind BesCost’s steady growth is its founder, Jim Lester Besinio, whose leadership is deeply rooted in understanding the challenges of business owners.

Before building BesCost into a trusted printing company, Jim saw how many businesses struggled not because of bad products or services, but because they were not visible enough. Poor signage, low-quality prints, and unreliable suppliers often held them back.

This experience shaped BesCost’s direction.

Instead of focusing only on machines and materials, Jim focused on building a printing partner—a company that businesses could depend on during important moments like store openings, rebrands, promotions, and expansions.

Jim remains hands-on with the company, making sure that:

● Clients are treated with respect, regardless of project size

● Quality standards are followed consistently

● Deadlines are met

This leadership style has helped BesCost grow through repeat clients, referrals, and long-term partnerships.

Supporting Entrepreneurs at Every Stage

BesCost treats every project as important because each print represents:

● A new business starting

● A brand growing

● A dream moving forward

This mindset has helped the company build strong relationships within Metro Manila’s business community.
