Agriculture is a vital industry in the Philippines and yet it is neglected (Ofreneo, 2019)

Filipino farmers suffer from weak bargaining power and a lack of genuine support (Dejaresco III, 2019)

Filipino farmers suffer with no food and financial security due to the lack of high-value storage facilities and value-added processing technologies. This gives

them no control in selling their own harvests.

Along with our technical partner New Agri Asia (NAAC), we have harnessed the ability to bring

prosperity to our Filipino farmers directly.

We believe that long lasting projects that benefit the local community are important to strengthen

farmers and the agriculture sector.

THE

SPOKEBRINGING JOBS TO THE PEOPLE AT THE FARM WHERE THEY’RE NEEDED MOST, INSTEAD OF BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE CITY WHERE THEY’RE NEEDED LEAST

What is a spoke?

A spoke is a local shop that accepts farm harvests of raw

materials (primarily coconut & dairy) and converts them into

semi-finished goods. These "intermediary" goods are then

shipped daily for further processing at the main hub.

Spokes can harvest many items including young coconut water, young coconut meat, coconut sap, dairy cow milk, water buffalo (Kalabaw) milk, goat milk, calamansi juice, carabao mango, assorted vegetables, among many others.

What raw materials can be processed?Each spoke will be a

Local Partner.

They will be built in the heart of Philippine farmlands

These will then be transferred daily to the hub using high-value logistics for further processing.

Each spoke guarantees intermediary goods, revenue, and resources to hub.

THE

HUBINCORPORATING LEADING TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS INNOVATION TO COMPETE GLOBALLY

What is a hub?

It is the central facility in a spokes network that

processes intermediary goods (coconut meat, dairy, vegetables, etc.).

The hub utilizes high-value processing

technologies such as IQF and MST.

The hub is also dedicated to value-added storage facilities including dry,

refrigerated, frozen, and CA storage.

Value Added Processing (VAP) secures stabilization, reduction, and preparation of young coconut meat

that can also process them into pie filling, puree, and slices

Millisecond Technology (MST) is a new patented pasteurization technique that processes liquid using a proprietary technique of

negative pressure plus below-pasteurization level heat that prolong the shelf life of milk and juices around 90 days

EACH HUB WILL CREATE

Based on hub operations with ten (10) satellite spokes (this represents 80% capacity).

These are exportable high-value finished goods.

Our model is a system of high-value processing and logistics to sell Filipino farmers’ harvests at premium prices. This allows

every farmer who works in this business to expect and earn a higher and more stable income.
