Initializes the poultry and swine raising projects in two locations. Requires own retail outlet to be more competitive in the long-run.
Scouted local area for agricultural produce production. Initial on-site evaluation is promising. Requires substantial funding to be viable and sustainable. Recovery after typhoon Yolanda lashes the area is slow. Basic agricultural products (ei. camote tops) are sold at Php5/bundle.
Support for a more cleaner and hygienic market place is BADLY NEEDED!
I am hopeful that things will pick-up (what year ????) once the local infrastructures (roads from farm-to-market) are properly in-place.
Note: manual hauling fees adds up to the cost of rice grains + spiraling cost of insecticides and fertilizers.
