Mighty Corp. Aids Farmers Up North

Local cigarette manufacturer Mighty Corp. vows on increasing their tobacco purchase and helping millions of tobacco farmers  up north increase their yield.

According to the president of Mighty Corp., the company's market share signifcantly increased during the past years. In return, the company aims to aid farmers whose lives are dependent on the tobacco industry increase their income.

“We have earned our fair share of the market by making affordable cigarettes sold to the mass market. We’re proud of our modest success coming from a home-grown and Filipino-owned cigarette company,” he said.

“With a bigger share of Mighty Corp. in the market today, we are giving the tobacco farmers a fair share of our success by offering competitive prices to their crops,” he added.

“Last year, we have bought even the low-priced tobacco leaves. Had Mighty Corp. not done that, it would have created a problem for tobacco farmers.”

“We are happy to offer better prices to tobacco farmers and are willing to tie-up with the Department of Agriculture and the National Tobacco Administration to cement our partnership with the farmers.”

The president also explained that asides from helping millions of tobacco farmers nationwide, the company also helps the country's economy grow in the form of taxes.

“Our contribution is in the form of taxes, which helps in the development of the country. We also employed more factory workers. Now, we have more than 2,000,” he said.

“As far as CSR is concerned, we will have irrigation pumps in their area and provide mini tractors. This will come in the form of grant. We will have scholarship grants.”
