Mighty Corp. creates another formidable player in
the tobacco industry by teaming up with local farmers up north.
As part of the Corporate Social Responsibility,
the company looks to increase their purchase of tobacco from local farmers.
Having already submitted a Letter of Intent
to the National Tobacco Administration, the company aims to uplift the
lives of local tobacco farmers nationwide.
“We are grateful and we are looking forward to
the firm commitments of Mighty Corporation to help the 65,000 strong tobacco
farmers in the Philippines with their pronouncements this year to purchase
10-million kilograms of tobacco leaves and the P10-million outreach projects
for tobacco farmers,” said the NTA representative.
He also claimed that more farmers are now assured
that their crops will be profitable in the local market.
“Now that we are assured of an alternative
market, besides other tobacco companies, our members will again be inspired to
devote larger areas to the cultivation of Ilocandia’s most important cash
crop,” he said.
