Nearly 200 people enjoyed an enriching experience from Allied Botanical Corporation’s (ABC) first Field Day for 2023!

Showcasing its newly acquired farm in Rosales, Pangasinan, ABC created an opportunity for growers, farmers, agriculturists, dealers, and hobbyists to explore the company’s past, present, and future innovations in vegetable seed production. This exchange of new knowledge and experience aspires to improve the Filipino farmers livelihood by guaranteeing access to premium seeds and crop care products.

Participants were toured by ABC’s Crop Masters as they walked through a brief history of the company’s evolution in vegetable seed research and development. Some of the featured crops were calabaza, onion, tomato, eggplant, ampalaya, corn, and watermelon. These varieties were designed to suit the uniqueness of the Philippine soil and ensure abundant harvest. The future varieties are set to be launched soon. It was a fun learning experience as the tour included stop-overs filled with games and healthy snacks like corn, salad, and vegetable deep-fried fritters.
