IT’S OUR 25th EXHIBIT!
We’re quarter of a century—and counting! Every October for the past 25 years, people in the agribusiness have gathered to attend what is now Agrilink, the undisputed leader in agribusiness exhibition. Since 2000, the venue for the Agrilink has been the World Trade Center, Metro Manila. Each year, it unveils the best showcase of products, information, technologies, market linkages and promotions to the whole agribusiness community and the general public. Now on its 25th year, Agrilink celebrates with its biggest exhibit yet and one that features the entire value chain from farm inputs up to the retail markets!
AGRILINK: THE YEAR THAT WAS
Last year’s theme was “Improved Varieties and Postharvest Facilities: Essential to Profitability.” That theme focused on the fact that agricultural growth and development is not possible without yield-enhancing technological upgrades. Machines and equipment used to grade, wash, wax, sort, pack and store the products before they are brought to the market also, play a crucial role as the whole marketing chain is deemed essential for profitability.
The focus crop was fruits and focus region was Davao. Last year, Agrilink came full circle as it focused on Region XI, the same region where PIGLINK `94 started.
