THE ORGANIZER

Foundation for Resource Linkage and Development, Inc.

At the helm of these triple events is the Foundation for Resource Linkage and Development, Inc. (FRLD), a non-government organization that has been involved in the promotion of agricultural development since 1989. FRLD first ventured into exhibit management in 1994 through PigLink held in Davao City. In 1995, PigLink expanded its coverage to encompass the entire agricultural sector giving birth to AgriLink at a new venue-PICC, Manila. From 1998 to 2001, FRLD increased its international marketing promotions by tying up with the Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs. In 2000, FRLD further raised the standards of the exhibit when it moved AgriLink to the World Trade Center, Manila's biggest and most modern exhibition site. It is also signaled the start of the FoodLink as a back to back event with AgriLink. And in April 2004, FRLD introduced a fisheries convention and exhibit which highlighted aquaculture, AquaLink.
