Warm greetings from SMFI Agribusiness!

The SMFI Agribusiness Development Group is developing a sustainable sourcing program of its agri-based raw materials requirements which for now calls for the mobilization of at least 500,000 hectares of farm lands in the Philippines. SMFI is committed to help develop the countryside by providing livelihood opportunities in rural communities with the introduction of alternative crops and the improvement of farm technologies and income.
