The Department of Agriculture – Philippines is supporting #Agrilink2026 as one of its institutional partners! 
This year’s theme, “Agri Food Hub Facilities: A Boost to Efficiency in the Value and Market Chains,” speaks to one of the sector’s most important needs: stronger systems that help agricultural goods move from production areas to markets with more value intact.
The DA and its attached agencies are translating this need into infrastructure projects. According to the DA, it has a PHP 3-billion initiative to build around 99 cold storage facilities nationwide, aimed at reducing losses, extending the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and other high-value crops, and helping stabilize supply and prices.
More than PHP 2 billion is also expected to be allocated for a large food hub in Clark, Pampanga, with PHP 500 million each for food hubs in Pili, Camarines Sur and Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. The Manolo Fortich hub is planned for a 40-hectare site with a grain terminal and nearby cold storage, while the Pili hub will be built next to a mega cold storage facility in Camarines Sur. 
These projects reflect the growing importance of connected facilities across the value chain. Cold storage, food hubs, grain terminals, logistics support, and market-linkage systems can help farmers, fisherfolk, processors, traders, and buyers work with better timing, better product quality, and stronger market access.
At #Agrilink2026, the DA’s participation will help bring public-sector programs and industry priorities closer to the people working across #agriculture, food, #aquaculture, and %agribusiness. Visitors can learn more about current initiatives, connect with agencies and partners, and explore the technologies and services that can support stronger agri food hubs across the country.
Join us from October 8 to 10 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City for free seminars and free entrance to the exhibition.
