One thought on “San Miguel Foods Inc.’s Poultry Contract Breeding Business Opportunity”
  1. Dear San Miguel,
    I am Jordan John Canoy Wipf, Filipino. My Dad and I are interested in contract chicken growing in Palawan, where we live. We have a nice location that, we believe, fits your description, and would like to get this site inspected for preliminary approval, before we begin to work on the list of requirements stated here. I understand that you have a local consultant who can do this here in Palawan. May we have the name and number of this consultant?
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Jordan John Canoy Wipf
