Agri food hubs can help keep more economic activity closer to where agricultural and fishery products are produced. 🌾🏭

This is another important idea behind ’s theme, “Agri Food Hub Facilities: A Boost to Efficiency in the Value and Market Chains.”

Too often, production takes place in one community while processing, storage, trading, and distribution happen elsewhere. As products move farther from production areas, many of the opportunities to create additional value move with them.

Agri food hubs can bring processing, packaging, consolidation, logistics, trading, and market linkage closer to farming and fishing communities. This can allow more stages of the value chain to happen nearer to where production begins, supporting local enterprises and creating more opportunities for cooperatives, processors, transport providers, suppliers, traders, and other agribusinesses.

The Department of Agriculture - Philippines continues to support this direction through the Philippine Rural Development Project Scale-Up and the Farm and Fisheries Clustering and Consolidation Program. Together, these initiatives connect rural infrastructure, enterprise development, organized production, processing, and market linkage. They can help farmer and fisherfolk groups consolidate supply, meet larger buyer requirements, reduce logistics costs, access facilities such as trading centers, warehouses, dryers, and processing sites, and participate in more value-adding activities instead of remaining limited to raw production.

When more stages of the value chain take place closer to producers, more income, services, business activity, and investment can remain within rural communities. The result is not only a better route to market, but a broader local economy built around agriculture and fisheries.

At , the international agribusiness exhibit will bring together the technologies, services, organizations, and partnerships that can help agri food hubs generate more value across production areas and rural communities.

Join us from October 8 to 10 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City for free seminars and free entrance to the exhibition. Learn more at https://agrilink.com.ph/. ✨
