The UP Agribusiness Society (UP ABS), in partnership with UPLB Department of Agribusiness Management and Entrepreneurship (DAME) and ROMARCOM Academy, launches the Youth Leaders of Agribusiness Congress (YLAC) 2023. YLAC 2023 will be a 3-day on-site intercollegiate business case competition which is aligned with the theme: “YIELD in Agribusiness 2023: Youth Involvement and Engagement for Limitless Development in Agribusiness” to be held at the University of the Philippines Los Baños on May 31 – June 2, 2023.

This competition aims to provide an avenue for agribusiness students and other related courses to showcase their analytical and conceptualizing skills in cultivating a progressive agribusiness sector. Finalists will be exposed to various supplementary workshops and leadership training to guarantee that they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to analyze a case, equipping them to be the next prime movers of the agribusiness sector.

The key partner company will provide a real-life business case to the participants of the business case competition, who will then use it to create a Presentation Deck. Qualified teams will then proceed to the on-site semifinals where they will present their submissions. The top-performing teams will advance to the grand finals, which will be preceded by a series of training sessions and workshops that will be held the day before the finals to equip the grand finalists with the necessary knowledge and skills for a case analysis.
