AGRIC 2025 Attendance Drops by Thousands

The buzz was still strong, but the numbers were down. The 2025 National Agriculture and Trade Show (NATS), held from May 30 to June 1, pulled in 34,042 visitors, down more than 7,000 from last year’s crowd of over 41,000.

Hosted under the theme “Integrating Sustainable Food Systems: Mitigating Climate Change, Strengthening Agricultural Resilience,” the event still saw solid regional participation and enthusiastic public turnout, despite blazing heat over the weekend.

The ministry also praised law enforcement for keeping the grounds safe and incident-free.

However, one major highlight, the Ford Ranger raffle draw, was postponed after falling short of the minimum ticket sales. “We assure the public that this is a legitimate undertaking for which there will be a winner,” the Ministry said, adding that all purchased tickets remain valid. The new draw date is set for July 11, 2025, with ticket sales now back underway.
