EBC reports on the analysis of experts on the Philippine agriculture as compared to its ASEAN neighbors. The various experts served as resource speakers in the ASEAN Agriculture Summit of 2018 which was held on October 1, 2018, which was held at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City.
On its second run, the ASEAN Agriculture Summit 2018 is the next step in bringing together various stakeholders of the diverse Agriculture ecosystem at a summit that presents ongoing developments in agriculture enterprises with inclusive business and 3Ms initiatives (Mentorship, Money and Market) as a way to share real live learnings and quick wins that stakeholders may glean insights for policy adjustment and system transformation.
In the effort to make this sector a sustainable growth driver and game-changer in ASEAN, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council Philippines also launched the very first AGROW Awards, conceived as portmanteau of the words “agri”, or “agro” meaning field, and “grow”, aimed to recognize and award the sterling achievements of inspiring agribusinesses and game-changing stakeholders enabling innovation in agriculture advancement in the region.
