Agro-Logistics in the Philippines: Business Opportunities + Clark National Food Hub

We invite you to join our upcoming webinar, "Agro-Logistics in the Philippines: Business Opportunities + Clark National Food Hub," on June 27, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM (PH Time). This webinar will explore the exciting prospects for agro-logistics investments in the Philippines in general, plus a special focus on the Clark National Food Hub.

As the Philippines continues to develop its agricultural sector, efficient logistics and supply chain management become crucial for enhancing food security, reducing waste, and ensuring farm-to-market access. One ambition to achieve this, is the development of the Clark National Food Hub: designed to be a world-class agricultural logistics center and aiming to become the country's premium wholesale market and distribution hub for quality food produce. During the webinar, we will highlight the potential for Dutch businesses to invest in the Philippine agro-logistics sector, plus provide more information on the expected development of this promising food hub.

This webinar also seeks to attract interested companies to visit the Philippines for AgriLink 2024 at the World Trade Center in Pasay from October 3-5. The AgriLink visit will provide an opportunity for Dutch businesses to connect with the local network while exploring business or investment possibilities in the Philippines.
