‘Inclusive financing key to boosting agribusiness’

Access to finance is key to developing entrepreneurial activities and enhancing inclusive agribusiness in the country, and the government and private sector should work together in investing in the potential of various agricultural and off-farm activities to foster inclusive growth in the agri-fishery sector, according to stakeholders.

During his presentation at the second installment of the 22nd Davao Agri Trade Expo webinar series, called “Innovative Finance Opportunities for Inclusive Agribusiness,” on Tuesday, Davao City agriculturist Edgardo Haspe listed the challenges faced by agripreneurs in Mindanao, particularly in his city, which primarily revolves on input and production/farming needs.
