The Agri-industrial Business Corridor (ABC) for freshwater aquaculture and urban farming will be the country’s second agri-industrial center, next to the New Clark City hub.
According to DA Secretary William Dar, the ABC will provide consumers with adequate and reasonably-priced food, particularly bangus and tilapia, and vegetables like mushrooms.
“We envision the Taguig ABC, along with the nearby Food Terminal Inc. (FTI), as part of the agri-industrial and food market hub that will serve the southeast quadrant of Metro Manila,” Dar said.
It will be established in partnership with the city government of Taguig and Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA). It is a 10-year project with an initial funding of P300 million under the Bayanihan 2 law, he said.
