The MARID (Market Information Dissemination) Agribusiness Digest, since its creation in 1990, has been striving to attune itself with the changes shaping the agribusiness sector. As the first agricultural magazine of its kind in the Philippines, it has struggled to keep its readers abreast of prevailing issues and problems, market trends in the agro-industries, advances in related technology, as well as practical articles on crop growing, animal raising, pond cultivation and much more`. The point at the very beginning was to come up with a publication that would provide relevant market information to those involved and interested in the agribusiness sector.
