Mighty Corp. partners with local farmers up north
in hopes to form a formidable player in the tobacco industry.
As parf of their Corporate Social Responsibility
projects, the cigarette manufacturer plans to increase their tobacco purchase
from local farmers.
Mighty Corp. spokesperson already revealed that
the company asked permission from the National Tobacco Administration for the
planned increase of tobacco purchase.
“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 this assured the local farmers
that their crops will be profitable in the 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.
