Teys Australia Elevates the Region’s Culinary Landscape
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – Food service leaders gathered at WOFEX Mindanao 2026 (June 18–20, SMX Convention Center Davao) to showcase high-quality ingredients with world-class culinary standards, highlighting solutions that help professional kitchens deliver exceptional dining experiences in an increasingly competitive market.
Mindanao’s Evolving Food Service Landscape
As consumer expectations continue to rise, food service operators across Mindanao are balancing the demand for memorable dining experiences with the realities of higher operating costs, changing spending patterns, and increasing competition. While customers continue to seek quality food and enjoyable dining experiences, restaurants, cafés, hotels, and institutional kitchens are under growing pressure to manage costs carefully while maintaining consistent standards.
“We continue to see strong demand for quality dining experiences across the region,” said Janice Avisado, Regional Sales Head for Mindanao at Global Pacific. “With the peso weakening and travel becoming more expensive, many consumers are choosing to spend closer to home. That’s creating opportunities for operators who can deliver memorable dining experiences while continuing to manage costs carefully.”
Against this backdrop, professional kitchens are increasingly looking for ingredients that offer reliability, versatility, and consistent performance—allowing them to meet customer expectations while operating efficiently.
Teys Australia: Bringing Award-Winning Flavor and Premium Selections
To support these evolving customer needs, Global Pacific Distribution Network is launching Teys Australian Meat in Mindanao.
As a global industry leader with over 75 years of heritage, Teys partners with over 7,000 Australian cattle producers to deliver fresh beef with a real difference. Teys uses advanced livestock programs to scientifically predict and guarantee eating quality, focusing on the core attributes chefs care about most: predictable tenderness, rich juiciness, and deep flavor retention.
Local chefs and operators can now access an exceptional portfolio of Australian beef tailored for premium menu development.
Teys introduces complete “Paddock to Plate” traceability alongside world-class food safety. Its processing facilities operate under strict international standards, including HACCP and BRCGS certifications, ensuring that local chefs receive gold-standard product integrity with every single cut.
Navigating Supply Volatility and Kitchen Efficiency
Due to the current geopolitical climate, operators are facing fluctuating ingredient costs, shipping disruptions, and recent supply volatility.
“This is where we can help,” explained Avisado. “We carry a wide range of products, from premium to value alternatives, to help operators remain flexible without compromising quality.”
Alongside Teys, Global Pacific also featured Sunny Farms, its own food service brand known for its range of essential, high-quality kitchen ingredients developed specifically for professional kitchens and high-volume operations.
A major highlight during the event was a series of live cooking demonstrations by renowned chef, Chef Bruce Lim—restaurateur, former host of Asian Food Network’s Tablescapes and The Boss, as well as being the former executive chef for the South East Asian Games.
During his sessions, Chef Bruce shared critical insights on how global market conditions impact daily kitchen operations.
“In today’s market, operators really need to think more carefully about every part of the kitchen,” said Chef Bruce Lim. “Margins are tighter, customer spending habits have changed, and yet the expectation to deliver a good dining experience remains the same. That’s why consistency, efficiency, and dependable products have become even more important for professional kitchens today.”
Focused on helping operators get more value and versatility, his demonstrations showcased practical ways to reduce waste and manage costs carefully—such as turning a single Sunny Farms butter base into multiple sauce applications and utilizing pantry staples across different menu concepts.
