MINDANAO ENTRY OF CPF PHILS. TO BOOST CORN, HOG PROGRAMS An executive of Asia’s biggest agro-industrial conglomerate, the Charoen Phakphond Foods Phils., will join me and North Cotabato Governor Nancy Catamco in a virtual conference which could start the expansion of CPF Philippines of its hog production operations in Mindanao. CPF Philippines Vice Chairman Sakol Cheewakoset who was in South Cotabato last week to break ground Caraga INFOCUS
for the 2,400-sow level hog breeding farm in Polomolok is expected to ask Gov. Catamco’s support in its expansion plan in the province. The Polomolok hog breeding facility is a joint project of CPF Phils. and Nutrihogs, a General Santos City company owned by the couple Nathaniel and Marivet Caballero. Last week, I asked Khun Sakol to support the Mindanao Development
Authority (MinDA) in its Livestock and Hog Industry Development Program by establishing more breeding facilities especially in areas where the Mindanao Corn Grains Silo Storage facilities would be established. Khun Sakol responded positively and asked if there would be specific areas which MinDA would recommend as prospective expansion sites. March 13-19, 2021 |
