Integra is proud to announce it was recently awarded an agricultural markets assessment project from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) under Integra’s GSA schedule. Integra will conduct a markets assessment and value/supply chain analysis in the Philippines to identify agricultural products with high potential for return on future investment.

In summary, the project consists of the following three tasks:

1. Conduct a market assessment that analyzes the current market and identifies future opportunities for agricultural products produced and exported from the Philippines;
2. Perform a value and supply chain analysis for 6 raw and 6 processed agricultural products demanded on a domestic, regional and global scale;
3. Recommend high potential value chains and their constraints for further analysis, as well as a methodology for how to do so.

This Philippines Market Assessment will take place over six months from September 2016 to February 2016. The findings intend to help the Government of the Philippines identify particular value and supply chains to focus on and support. Further, this project will be conducted concurrently with a separate MCC project, awarded to Integra under MCC’s Finance, Investment and Trade Blanket Purchase Agreement to conduct an agribusiness commercial, legal and institutional reform (AgCLIR) diagnostic in order to better understand the enabling environment for agribusiness of the Philippines.
