One of the crucial topics discussed was the challenges on food security. Although Central Visayas is the fourth largest economy in the country, food security and sustainability have been ongoing challenges. This is particularly evident as Cebu has become a service-driven economy with less production in Agriculture compared to other neighboring regions.

To make agribusiness sustainable, the importance of collaboration with public sectors was emphasized. Representatives from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and Department of Agriculture (DA), highlighted the potential for government assistance and partnerships.

Moreover, entrepreneurs were introduced to various platforms for possible solutions, especially in digitization for the ease of doing business. The summit provided a platform for sharing of experiences and fostering resilience in the face of change.
