THE Pilmico Foods Corporation, a subsidiary of Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc, kicked off the Mindanao campaign for its Mahalin Pagkaing Atin program in Mintal, Davao City last Friday.
Officials from Pilmico donated eight egg machines and 20 piglets to the farmer-beneficiaries in the city at the Mintal gym as part of the program.
The company said these donations will allow the farmers to sustain their livelihood through an easy-to-manage business with a quick return of investment amid the threats of poverty and conflict.
The campaign aims for sustainable entrepreneurship providing livelihood to deserving beneficiaries in the city.
“As partners for growth, we are pleased to be able to extend assistance to the farmers of Davao through our egg machines and piglets. We hope that through MahalinPagkaingAtin, we will be able to provide the means for our farmer friends to uplift their lives and sustain an adequate livelihood,” said Sabin M. Aboitiz, Pilmicopresident and chief executive officer (CEO).
The campaign, which was introduced in mid-2014, aims to encourage sustainable entrepreneurship and preference for homegrown produce.
The company has already donated a total of 646 piglets, 191 egg machines, and 14 agriculture areas where beneficiaries receive feedbags as restart-up capital. Around 304 families nationwide are benefitting from the program as of this day.
A Producers Forum was also conducted last July 23 atThe Ritz Hotel at Garden Oases which aimed to link local backyard raisers with local buyers and purchasers.
