WHEN I envisioned and planned Clark Green City (now called New Clark City) during my term as BCDA president and CEO, one of the key pillars of its development was the construction of an Asian food logistics hub like the Rungis Market in France. This is critical infrastructure for Filipino farmers to trade in the global market.
WHEN I envisioned and planned Clark Green City during my term as BCDA president and CEO, one of the key pillars of its development was the construction of an Asian food logistics hub like the Rungis Market in France. This is critical infrastructure for Filipino farmers to trade in the global market. I brought together the Rungis Market leadership and the BCDA team to replicate this Asian global food hub.
This lack of infrastructure limits farmers' ability to extend their products' shelf life and engage in higher-value markets, both domestically and internationally. It is no surprise that we see tomato farmers throwing away good tomatoes to waste when, during harvest time, a surplus harvest becomes too costly to transport rather than sell. Cold storage could extend shelf life and increase market value without exposing products to the vulnerability of seasonal weather.
