I went to the Agrilink 2014 this morning at the World Trade Center in Roxas Blvd. Agrilink is a trade exhibition on agriculture, food and aquaculture held every October. We went there to see what latest technology and trends in agriculture that we can apply in our little farm in Mindanao.
Here are some of the things I saw in the exhibit:
Here's a very good looking Duroc boar. This reminded me of my course in college called Swine Production.
These fowls are very nice to look at. I was attracted to the crest of feathers on their head that looked like cotton.
These are Pearl Gray Bengalas, their dotted plumage are so beautiful to look at.
I didn't get the name of this beautiful bird but its plumage is so stunning.
American Mallards. A pair cost Php4,000 during the exhibit.
The booth of the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Agricultural Research featured "edible landscaping" developed by the University of the Philippines at Los Banos (my alma mater). It combines vegetables such as camote, herbs, etc. with traditional garden plants.
There were also a lot of learning seminars held simultaneously for free. Most of them are focused on increasing competitiveness in the light of the ASEAN economic integration next year. Unfortunately I did not have enough time and I wasn't prepared. Maybe next year, in the 22nd Agrilink,
