The Department of Agriculture (DA) signed a new joint memorandum circular (JMC) to fast-track strategic investments, particularly in the agriculture and fisheries sectors. Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said the JMC bolsters the operational framework of the Investment Facilitation Network (INFA-Net) and incorporates Executive Order No. 18, Series of 2023. “This JMC is a significant step forward in our commitment to making it easier for investors to do business in the Philippines’ agri-fishery sector,” Tiu-Laurel said.
