The Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT) remains to be the leading and dominant export organization recognized by the government, as the Export Development Council (EDC) unanimously approved the renewal of its accreditation during the Joint Council and Executive Committee meeting on 19 May 2023, chaired by Trade Secretary Alfredo E. Pascual and attended by both public and private sector members.
Under Art. 2 Sec. 12 of the Export Development Act (EDA) of 1994 (R.A. 7844) states that the Export Development Council (EDC) “shall accredit a single umbrella organization of exporters pursuant to Section 7(1) of this Act to represent the export sector concerns and interests for three (3) years, after which the Council shall undertake a review of the accreditation prior to the granting or re-granting of the said accreditation.”
PHILEXPORT’s accreditation will be valid from 01 June 2023 until 31 May 2026. AOB
