The DA Agriculture Attachés during the 2024 Year-End Foreign Agriculture Service Corp (FASC) Consultation with Secretary Francisco “Kiko” P. Tiu Laurel, Jr. The Department of Agriculture (DA) has marked a series of significant achievements in 2024 with the help of agricultural attachés stationed around the world. These accomplishments have bolstered the Philippines’ agricultural exports, fostered new international partnerships, and opened up new opportunities for local farmers and fisherfolks, investors, and businesses.
“These milestones, which secured tens of billions of pesos in export sales, would support our farm and fishery sector and at least help narrow our agricultural trade deficit. Our attaches also strengthened bilateral and multilateral relations, benefiting millions of Filipino farmers and fisherfolk,” said Secretary Tiu Laurel.
Secretary Tiu Laurel emphasized that these global achievements demonstrate the DA’s unwavering commitment to expanding the reach of Philippine agricultural products and promoting sustainable sector growth, vital to the nation’s economic development. ### (photos by Jay Morales, DA-OSEC)
