You might not see it in the fields or at the market, but logistics is what keeps the Philippine agricultural industry moving.
From the moment a crop is harvested to the time it reaches the consumerβs table, logistics determines more than just delivery. It directly affects cost, quality, timing, and farmer income. When transport is delayed, storage is lacking, or handling is poor, farmers lose earnings, buyers lose product, and consumers pay more.
When the logistics system works β from farm roads to cold chain and processing to packaging β it creates a smoother, more efficient value chain where everyone benefits:
Farmers and fisherfolk gain better earnings with less spoilage, more predictable pricing, and access to broader markets.
Traders and agribusinesses reduce losses, cut transport and storage costs, and improve turnaround times.
Consumers enjoy fresher, more affordable food thanks to fewer delays, lower wastage, and steadier supply.
#Agrilink2025, happening this October 2β4 at the World Trade Center, Manila, explores why logistics is the key to an efficient market and value chain. From farm roads to cold storage, processing to packaging, the event brings together the systems and solutions that keep our food and our farmers moving forward.
