Mighty Corp. joins forces with farmers up north
to form a formidable player in the tobacco industry.
As part of their corporate social
responsibilities, Mighty plans to substantially increase their tobacco purchase
from local farmers nationwide.
The company already submitted a Letter of Intent
to National Tobacco Administration for the purchase increase.
“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 claimed that many farmers are glad that their
crops will be more 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.
