We are proud that Australia’s specialist international agricultural research for development agency, ACIAR, and our National Science Agency, CSIRO, are leading the delivery of this Agribusiness Master Class." Australia's Ambassador to the Phillippines, Steven Robinson AO, speaking at the Masterclass event.

Partnerships across the value chains generate a tremendous return on investment.

Professor Andrew Campbell speaking during the Masterclass event.

We are looking forward to making the AMC participants active partners in the development of more efficient, productive and sustainable agri-industries that will significantly contribute to the country’s economic development,” - Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Executive Director Dr Reynaldo Ebora speaking during the online event.
