Still dealing with the P2-billion agricultural damage caused by Super Typhoon “Karding,” the Department of Agriculture received an assurance from Canada to support the Philippines’ food security and agricultural growth.
In a meeting with Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo F. Panganiban, the Canadian official expressed sympathy and concern to the Philippines following the wrath of Karding, particularly in Central Luzon, as she committed to help the country face the impact of climate change and other problems stopping agricultural growth and innovation.
During her two-day visit, Bibeau worked to ensure increased cooperation, expand trade and investment, and promote Canadian agri-food products and solutions. She met with local meat importers and other agri-food importers in retail, flour milling, and wheat; as well as engaged with government officials, business leaders, civil society groups, and other stakeholders from Philippine agriculture and agri-food industries and organizations.
The DA’s relationship with Canada’s agriculture department has grown stronger over the years, and Philippine agri-food exports to Canada, which include coconuts, pineapples, dried mangoes, seafood, and processed food have steadily increased even throughout the pandemic.
