A nongovernment organization in the Philippines based in Central Luzon, which is called the Agricultural Growth through Inclusivity and Leadership by the Private Sector for Acceleration of Modernization and Industrialization, or AGILA, has expressed its intention to come to the aid of the national government on the issues surrounding the agriculture industry of the Philippines.
The group also suggested that there is a need to create a monitoring board in order to efficiently keep an eye on the imports and avoid hoarding of goods. Pelayo also cited the necessity of the Department of Agriculture to have police power in order to put teeth in the law. Pelayo also shared that AGILA has taken the initiative to formalize a memorandum of agreement between one local government in Metro Manila and a group of local farmers in Bataan, Pampanga and Nueva Ecija to plant according to the demands of the consumers.
