Lilia Pineda of Pampanga and PSAU president Honorio Soriano, Jr. for giving me the opportunity to share my knowledge on how to make the province a leading agro-industrial hub. Pampanga also has an employment rate of 92.4 percent, or well within Central Luzon’s 93.9 percent. So that means Pampanga’s citizens have access to good education, which is a good foundation to help make the province a leading agro-industrial hub in Central Luzon and the Philippines. To expand the market for its agriculture products, Pampanga must develop more agri-based products and this can be done with the help of research institutions including reputable colleges and universities like the Pampanga State Agricultural University. Agribusinesses and rural development organizations must also take advantage of contemporary ICT tools and platforms to make Pampanga an agro-industrial hub through inclusive agribusiness.
