31 food security projects greenlit at end-June ‘25

In a statement on Friday, July 4, Trade Secretary Cristina A. Roque said that the projects approved by the Board of Investments (BOI), representing P18.7 billion in investments as of June 30, are expected to generate over 7,000 jobs for Filipinos.

Roque, who is also BOI chairman, said the certified projects range from modern breeder farms to a significant coconut processing facility, all designed to enhance local food production while stimulating employment in agriculture and agribusiness.

A single coconut processing facility alone is projected to employ 4,725 workers, while a set of breeder farms is expected to create 1,009 jobs.
