History

It was a priority project of then Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to revolutionise the agricultural sector of the country, and establish a food consolidation centre.[6] By the power a Presidential decree issued in Шаблон:Start date and age, it took about more than a year to establish what was called the Greater Manila Terminal Food Market (GMTFM) on Шаблон:Start date and age.[4] However, the estate was renamed to Food Terminal Incorporated (FTI) on Шаблон:Start date and age.[4]

The company’s major activities include warehousing, food processing, research and quality control, marketing services, and trading.

In April 1979, the Human Settlements Development Corporation took over the ownership and management of the company.[4] FTI became a major subsidiary agency of the National Food Authority (NFA).[4]

Decline

On 1989, food trading and food processing operations, including live animal slaughtering, were suspended.[4] Cold storage services were also suspended in 2004 due to technical problems and viability concerns.[4]

There have been several attempts over multiple Philippines presidential administrations to sell off part of the property, including a public auction in 2009, but they all failed.[2] In November 2012, the Philippine government announced the sale of the Шаблон:Convert of the Шаблон:Convert property to Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) for 24.3 billion Philippine pesos.[2][3] Ayala plans to turn the property into a mixed-use development, now known as Arca South.[3][7][8] Proceeds from the sale are pledged to the programmes of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Agrarian Reform. The remaining Шаблон:Convert remains in FTI.[3][8]

Revival

FTI will be revived by the Department of Agriculture (DA), with its reopening in Taguig.[9][6][7] FTI still has a Шаблон:Convert area available, with Шаблон:Convert occupied by informal settlers.[6][7] The new FTI will feature food processing and cold storage facilities for produce to be sold to various consumer and vendor associations.

According to Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, FTI will own logistics equipment to transfer goods from regional food terminals to markets, with a total of six food terminals to be built during President Rodrigo Duterte's term.[9][6]

FTI aims to be the leading food processing and distribution hub in the Philippines by 2030.[9]
