Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Manny F. Piñol and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Adnan V. Alonto discuss how the Philippine agriculture sector can benefit from the recent developments in the KSA economy during the ambassador’s visit on March 14, 2019. Ambassador Alonto shared that the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) has expressed its interest in agriculture and encouraged the agri chief to make a pitch. “We can come up with several project proposals within the context of their needs,” Secretary Piñol stated. “We can also travel to Saudi and present to them our proposals,” he added after the ambassador mentioned that Saudi Arabian delegates are set to visit the Philippines this year. The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh and the DA will coordinate to conduct an agri-investment mission and propose tie-ups with agencies and establishments in the KSA.  ### (Photo by Alan Jay Jacalan, DA-AFID)
