Reimagining Agricultural Value Chain

The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, through its Agriculture Committee, is hosting a three-part webinar series that will deep dive on policy updates and highlight policy recommendations on three high-priority areas of sustainable agricultural development for the European-Philippines business community, namely value chain development, regulatory processes, and market access.

Each webinar will zoom in on a specific theme featuring thought leaders to offer insights and perspectives on the subject matter, specifically addressing the overarching questions of the conference:

• What are some of the policy updates that will shape the future of Philippine agriculture development?
• How can the private sector, particularly the European-Philippine business community, play a bigger role in policymaking to facilitate increased trade and investments in the backbone of the Philippine economy?
• Where are the areas of opportunity for the private sector to collaborate and showcase best practices, innovative solutions, and technical know-how, among others, in promoting sustainable agricultural development?
• How can these policies be tools for a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible Philippine agriculture sector?

The webinar, the first in a three-part series, will explore how, proactive, responsive, and transformative policy formulation will deepen value chain integration of agriculture stakeholders through innovative financing models, increased infrastructure investments, and dynamic linkages between research and application. A private sector representative will also share best practices and policy recommendations on how the private sector can work with the government and other stakeholders in achieving the overall objective of creating a sustainable cycle in the sector.
