Agriculture is changing fast, and the most successful solutions are those that combine global knowledge with local insight—a strategy known as glocal thinking.

SMC Hi-Bred Phils, Inc. applies this approach by taking cutting-edge global maize research and tailoring it to the specific challenges faced by Filipino corn farmers. This means creating seeds that are not only high-yield but also resilient against local pests, diseases, and climate patterns.

By embracing glocal thinking, the Philippine agriculture sector can become more competitive, sustainable, and profitable. And with companies like SMC Hi-Bred leading the way, Filipino farmers are better equipped than ever to feed a growing nation.
