At least 72 households in this city will benefit from Human Nature’s requirement of sunflower oil and passion fruit juice.
Human Nature is a line of locally-produced organic personal care products by Gandang Kalikasan, Incorporated, a business founded by the children of GK founder Tony Meloto in 2008.
Jaime Severino, president of Kapitbahayan Homeowners’ Association of Pueblo Antonio Gawad Kalinga (GK) Village in Barangay Habana, Toril, said being tapped to deliver Sunflower oil and passion fruit juice as raw materials for Human Nature’s products is truly a good news for them.
Severino said their association will sign soon a contract with Human Nature which initially asked them to allocate eight hectares for Sunflower plantation alone.
If their Sunflower seeds will produce quality oil, they will be paid between P300 to P400 for every liter produced.
For the passion fruit juice, on the other hand, they will get more than P1,000 for every liter. [PNA]
“We are blessed because GK is helping us out in marketing our products,” he said.
Aside from Human Nature, the Pueblo Antonio GK Village is also a grower of ice cream maker Selecta for yam (ube).
Severino said their goal is to have their children become professionals because that’s the only way they can get out of poverty.
“Because of our business activities, at least we are now slowly moving towards becoming part of the middle class,” he said. [PNA]
