Attend #Agrilink2025 for a seminar by the Department of Agriculture – Philippines, “Fresh from Farm to Market: Cold-Chain Solutions for Less Waste.” This session is part of the agency’s whole-day seminar on October 3 at the Hidalgo Room, during the event.
A large portion of fresh produce never makes it to consumers in good condition because of spoilage and poor handling during transport. This seminar will discuss cold-chain solutions that bridge farms and markets, helping reduce waste and ensuring that food arrives fresh, safe, and ready for sale.
Participants will learn about:
The role of cold-chain systems in extending the shelf life of fresh produce
How improved temperature control reduces losses and safeguards quality
Practical strategies for farmers, cooperatives, and traders to integrate cold-chain solutions
How better post-harvest handling strengthens food security and boosts farmer income
In line with Agrilink 2025’s theme, “Logistics: The Key to an Efficient Market and Value Chain,” this seminar highlights how modern cold-chain systems play a vital role in making the agricultural supply chain more efficient—cutting losses, protecting farmers’ hard work, and giving consumers better access to high-quality food.
