The Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Inc. said the proponents of the Maharlika Investment Fund should allocate a portion of the sovereign wealth to the agriculture value chain to ensure that farmers and fishers can still access funds to boost their livelihood. ‘That’s why I’m not saying to invest in production. You invest in infrastructures. Now, you can leave the production side on the Landbank or the normal banking system which is poorly handling it because of the central bank manual of procedures’.
