The company, known for its forward-thinking approach in the agricultural sector, presented significant progress in critical areas of operation, including the nuanced process of obtaining permits from various government agencies like BFAR, BAI, and BPI.

This global integration is not just a step forward for Farm Konekt but a leap for the Philippine agricultural sector.
Ms. Lopez also highlighted the exciting infrastructure investments by Brunei for the semi-processing facility of agricultural goods. This development is particularly noteworthy as it promises to inject much-needed value-added activities into the local agricultural supply chain. It's a move that aligns perfectly with Farm Konekt’s vision and objectives, enhancing the overall value of Philippine agricultural products.
