MANILA: The country’s leading hybrid rice producer SL Agritech Corp. seeks to bag a joint seed production deal with Chinese partners and is working on the relaxation of China’s rice quarantine protocol as the group joins the business delegation accompanying President Duterte in his state visit to China next week.
SL Agritech chair Henry Lim Bon Liong told the Inquirer that “friends” from China were offering a lot of business opportunities in agriculture, power and trade.
Lim said his company had already exported banana to Dalian, China previously. He is hoping to expand trading opportunities to include pineapples.
