I was invited on April 27 to present a paper on making Pampanga a leading agro-industrial hub anchored on agripreneurship at the RiceUp Bayanihan Conference 2018 in Lubao, Pampanga.

I was invited on April 27 to present a paper on making Pampanga a leading agro-industrial hub anchored on agripreneurship at the RiceUp Bayanihan Conference 2018 in Lubao, Pampanga.

From the conference, I learned that the non-government organization called RiceUp has been operating in parts of Pampanga to help rice farmers in the province to increase their yields. Also involved are faith-based organizations like the Latter Day Saints who are also in a mission to reduce poverty among poor households in Pampanga.

During the conference, there were discussions on e-commerce, digital agriculture, and rice future that I believe should be applied in the Philippine rice industry. RiceUp is currently operating in Lubao, Pampanga and surrounding towns in the district, represented by former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the House of Representatives.
