Agrilink, the biggest and most influential agricultural trade show in the country, has for its theme “Negros, a Model of Agribusiness Resiliency.” The theme highlights the sturdiness and the strength of the agricultural industries of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental through an improved and integrated focus on the chain of agribusiness activities – from production inputs, the use of new and appropriate technologies, value adding, market diversification, strategic product development, retailing, and marketing. The island region’s agriculture industry has proven its resiliency in the face of ASEAN competition for both provinces.
