What does it take to move Philippine agriculture forward — not just from farm to market, but from potential to performance? 
That question took center stage at the recent #Agrilink2025 co-organizers’ meeting, where public agencies, private partners, and agricultural trade associations aligned on updates and plans for this year’s triple exhibition.
At the heart of the discussion was the theme,“Logistics: The Key to an Efficient Market and Value Chain.”While we’ve made strides in production, much of what we grow still gets lost before it ever reaches a consumer. In some cases, post-harvest and consumption losses hover around 30% to 50% — not from lack of effort, but from gaps in drying, storage, transport, and packaging.
Our logistics costs also remain comparable or significantly higher than in countries with more mature agriculture economy and infrastructure. Yet today, we’re seeing retail prices for food that rival those in markets with far more advanced supply systems — a clear signal that there’s work to be done, and value to be unlocked.
That’s where events like #Agrilink2025 come in. Improving logistics isn’t just about trucks and warehouses, but promoting innovations that enable farmers to earn more, help food travel better, and make our supply chains more resilient, transparent, and future-ready.
Now in its 30th year, #Agrilink, Foodlink, and Aqualink remains the country’s leading exhibition on #agriculture, food, #aquaculture, and #agribusiness. Co-organized by more than 20 public and private organizations and trade associations, the triple exhibit is a convergence point for farmers, fisherfolk, agripreneurs, researchers, policy makers, consumers, and innovators, where ideas become action toward a more inclusive, efficient, and self-reliant agricultural future.
