As Taiwan agri expo hits Manila this week
MANILA, Philippines — Taiwanese firms will showcase smart farming technologies including agricultural robots and livestock systems that could help modernize and boost farm productivity in a trade show in Manila this week.
The Taiwan Expo 2026 would feature an Agritech and Food Pavilion where some firms would exhibit the latest technologies that can contribute in improving farm efficiency, livestock management and increasing food production.
Some of the solutions expected to be showcased are autonomous mobile robots or ARMs that are designed to reduce repetitive manual labor and smart livestock environmental control systems that can help farms monitor and manage the conditions of their poultry and swine operations.
“The technologies could provide relevant options for Philippine agricultural businesses dealing with the continuing need to raise output, improve resource efficiency, modernize production and strengthen the resilience of food supply chains,” Taiwan Expo organizers said.
Taiwan Expo noted that the showcasing of the modern agricultural technologies comes at a time when the Philippines is scaling up investments in agricultural transformation with the goal of modernizing local farms.
Aside from technologies, the pavilion would also feature premium orchids, high-mountain teas and classic Taiwanese specialty foods, giving local players opportunities to discover products seeking access to the local market, it added. Other agriculture-related products and services are also expected to be featured including organic products and cold chain technologies.
The firms participating in the pavilion are Bestak Self-Adhesives Inc., Energy Titan Co. Ltd., Forever Sweety Sugar Trade Co., Ho Ching Biotech Co. Ltd. Jahau Agricultural Production Ltd. and Jey Hing International Co. Ltd.
The other exhibitors in the pavilion are K.K.Orchard Co. Ltd., Lytone Enterprise Inc., MIC Meter Industrial Company, Taiwan Orchid Growers Association, Yung-An Tea Co. Ltd., YYY Enterprise Inc. and Zi Yuan Rice Husking Factory Ltd.
Taiwan Expo will run from Sept. 17 to 19 at the SMX Convention Center Manila and brings together more than 125 Taiwanese enterprises across seven specialized pavilions.
The 2025 edition of the expo attracted more than 10,000 visitors and buyers and generated approximately $53.4 million in business opportunities.
