FOREWORD

Being a land of bountiful opportunities, the Philippines possess a wide variety of crops, livestock and fisheries that can be harnessed not only for livelihood but to build agribusiness enterprises as well. The purpose in preparing the cost and return brochure on a wide-range of agricultural commodities and related support facilities is to entice numerous private sectors to invest in agribusiness sector. The brochure will serve as a start-up of business information in preparation of business plan for aspiring agribusiness entrepreneurs. Having a

simple business idea can ignite a desire to develop into an agribusiness enterprise that is globally competitive. Further this publication likewise spells-out in general the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) interventions and assistance to strengthen partnerships with the private sector.

Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Service (AMAS) (as a DA unit) serves as a facilitating and coordinating unit of DA for agribusiness entrepreneurs who need assistance on investments as well as on marketing their products.

We hope that this brochure will serve as a catalyst in Philippine agribusiness development.

THE AGRIBUSINESS AND MARKETING ASSISTANCESERVICE (AMAS), DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (DA)

AMAS serves as central body that coordinates and facilitates the efforts on marketing, investment and entrepreneurial development of all the DA units, bureaus and attached agencies and establish networking with other entities (i.e NGO, business sectors, LGUs, SCUs, government agencies, and financial institutions, among others).

It takes the lead in the promotion of agriculture and fisheries products and in the promotion of agribusiness investment potentials in the local and international arena. There are numbers of regular agribusiness and investment fairs being organized and participated by AMAS in collaboration with local and foreign partners.

For effective market assistance/linkage and useful information systems, the DA AMAS devotes resources on market intelligence work to assess evolving market trends and scan emerging demand for agricultural products in both the domestic and export markets. Likewise, to ensure sustainable and effective information systems, the AMAS and the Information Technology Center for Agriculture and Fisheries (ITCAF) work together and formed the Agriculture and Fisheries Market Information System (AFMIS) at the national and local levels.
