The Philippines has achieved a significant milestone in modern agriculture with the launch of its first indoor vertical strawberry farm in Pasig City. Bureau of Plant Industry Director Gerard Glenn Panganiban led the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking a new chapter in the country's pursuit of innovative, controlled-environment farming.
The facility, strategically located within Pasig City, leverages advanced technology to optimize plant growth in a controlled indoor environment. This automated system ensures precise regulation of light, temperature, and humidity, enabling year-round strawberry production despite the tropical climate.
“This project marks a significant step forward for Philippine agriculture,” Director Panganiban said during the event. “It highlights the potential of technology-driven solutions to address food security challenges, particularly in urban settings.”

The farm is also set to launch agritourism initiatives, including educational tours for students and enthusiasts to raise awareness about the benefits of indoor vertical farming.
“This facility demonstrates how urban agriculture can contribute to food security while providing new business and employment opportunities,” Panganiban added.
