Over the next five years, the PBFC is committed to driving a major transformation in Philippine agriculture. Our strategic roadmap focuses on five key areas of impact:
1. Lowering the Cost Burden for Our Farmers
High costs for imported chemical fertilizers shouldn’t be the reason a farm fails. We aim to make farming affordable again by promoting high-quality, locally produced biofertilizers. By reducing the reliance on expensive imports, we help farmers keep more of their hard-earned income.
2. Boosting Productivity Sustainably
We don’t believe in choosing between a good harvest and a healthy environment. Our goal is to increase crop yields using sustainable inputs. By improving soil health through biological solutions, we ensure that the land remains productive and fertile for generations to come, not just for the next season.
3. Building a Robust Local Industry
The Philippines has the talent and the resources to lead in this space. We are dedicated to growing a world-class local biofertilizer sector. By supporting Filipino manufacturers and researchers, we turn the Philippines into a hub for bio-innovation rather than just a consumer of foreign products.
4. Securing Our National Food Supply
A nation that can feed itself is a strong nation. By strengthening the link between local inputs and local farms, we bolster national food security. We aim to create a stable, self-reliant agricultural system that isn’t vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions or price hikes.
5. Creating Jobs and Agribusiness Opportunities
Our impact goes beyond the field. The growth of the biofertilizer industry means new opportunities in our rural communities. From manufacturing and distribution to specialized agribusiness consulting, we are helping to create a new wave of stable, meaningful employment across the country.
