LANDBANK is ramping up efforts to strengthen food security and promote inclusive agricultural growth across the region through partnerships with the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) Philippines and other key stakeholders.
The initiative seeks to address financing gaps, reinforce agricultural value chains, and improve the resilience of ASEAN food systems in line with the government’s food security priorities.
The collaboration took center stage during a high-level roundtable discussion on ASEAN food security held at the LANDBANK Plaza in Manila on May 4, 2026. Guided by the ASEAN Food Security Alliance (AFSA) Policy Paper, the dialogue tackled pressing regional concerns including supply chain disruptions, climate-related risks, and the need for investment-driven solutions.
Reaffirming its support for the regional agenda, LANDBANK also announced its backing for the upcoming ASEAN Food Security and Agribusiness Summit 2026.
As of March 2026, LANDBANK’s outstanding loans to agriculture, fisheries, and rural development reached P908.77 billion, representing 58.44 percent of its total loan portfolio.
Beyond lending support, the state-run bank is also promoting value chain-based strategies aimed at improving post-harvest systems, logistics, and market access, while supporting investments in climate-smart infrastructure and cold storage facilities.
