Agribusiness

Agribusiness refers to agriculture, fishery, or forestry-based businesses that operate interdependently. Investing in agribusiness in the Philippines is attractive due to available land, demand for agricultural products, potential for import substitution and job creation, and high returns. Potential agribusiness projects include ornamental plants, poultry, livestock, high-value crops, industrial crops, aquaculture, food processing, and organic farming. The agricultural sector's strengths include vast land resources and coastal access, while weaknesses include high costs and low productivity. Opportunities exist in organic production, research, and further processing. Threats include low-cost regional competition and liberalized rice imports.
