One of the 18 key strategies of the Department of Agriculture's (DA) renewed development agenda is the creation of "agri-industrial business corridors" (ABCs) to modernize the sector and harness economies of scale by providing a ready market for farmers and fisherfolks, access to technologies, strengthen the value chain, and facilitate increased trade and investments, among others. Moreover, these innovations will support the government's thrust towards sustainability and achieving food security for a country with a growing population.
Undeniably, this latest initiative opens doors for the business community to play a role in improving the overall competitiveness of the sector through increased job opportunities and strengthened market linkages against the backdrop of the country's rebuilding efforts. Please join us for a virtual session with key stakeholders as we unpack the basics of ABCs, updates on the program, as well as various investment opportunities for interested players in the sector.
In close partnership with government, businesses, civil society, and academia, ECCP passionately works to enhance the business environment for both European and Filipino companies.
