Stronger farms need stronger bridges. When public and private sectors work together, farmers can reach markets faster, earn better, and build resilience. 
#Agrilink2025 Chairperson Maria Teresa Roa-Antonio emphasizes that connecting farmers to stronger supply chains isn’t just a government task, but a shared opportunity. Public-private partnerships offer a way forward — combining the infrastructure, market networks, and innovations of business with the reach and policy support of government. 
A leading food manufacturing enterprise, for instance, has partnered with the Department of Agriculture to set up buying stations for key crops like corn, cassava, sorghum, and soybeans — bridging farmers directly to institutional buyers and securing a fair market for their harvests. The partnership also includes modernizing and streamlining agricultural supply chains across the archipelago to make food staples more consistently available to Filipino families. 
Chairperson Roa-Antonio points to these models as examples of how public and private collaboration can scale food security solutions, empower farmers, and stabilize agricultural markets sustainably. 
Agrilink 2025 will highlight the crucial role of public-private collaboration in strengthening supply chains, empowering farmers, and ensuring food security for all Filipinos.
Through real-world partnerships and shared innovation, the event underscores how agriculture can grow into a more resilient, connected ecosystem — from farm to market.
