Searca, Jollibee Foundation team up to boost local onion production

University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB)-based Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) and Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) have teamed up to help boost the production of onion, one of the country’s high-value crops.

JGF Executive Director Ma. Gisela Tiongson said farmers need partners who can provide them with access to information and technology to help them improve their productivity, increase the value of their produce, and in the process, build their agro-enterprises.
