Our Mission

AgriBayan's mission is to empower the local farmers of Calamba City by directly connecting them to a wider network of regional buyers. We are dedicated to fostering a fair, transparent, and sustainable local food system through the smart use of digital technology.

The Challenge We're Solving

For too long, small-scale farmers in our community have faced significant challenges: limited market access, unstable pricing dictated by intermediaries, and a lack of real-time market information. This often leads to reduced profits for farmers and unstable prices for market vendors, restaurants, and retailers.

Our Solution

AgriBayan is a web-based marketplace platform designed to bridge this gap by creating a direct, transparent, and efficient link between producers and purchasers.

• For Farmers: A platform to list their products with real-time details—quantity, price, and harvest dates—giving them wider visibility and fairer pricing.
• For Markets: A centralized, reliable hub to browse and purchase fresh local produce with real-time price comparisons.
• Direct Communication: An integrated messaging system allows farmers and buyers to negotiate directly, building trust and eliminating middlemen.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every farmer in Calamba City has the digital tools to secure fair prices, reduce post-harvest losses, and achieve financial stability. AgriBayan aims to strengthen the local agricultural economy, promote food security, and ensure sustainable growth for our entire community.

Our Partner

AgriBayan is proudly developed in partnership with the Calamba City Agricultural Services Office, aligning with our shared goals of empowering local farmers, advancing agricultural innovation, and ensuring food security for the city.
