Mighty Corp sealed an agreement for outreach projects in the North

Bulacan-based tobacco manufacturer, Mighty Corp signed an agreement that paves the way for outreach projects for tobacco farmers in the Ilocos and Cagayan Valley provinces.

Mighty president retired General Edilberto Adan and vice president retired Judge Oscar Barrientos signed an agreement with the National Federation of Tobacco Growers’ Association and Cooperatives represented by its national president Mario Cabasal. The joint projects aim to uplift tobacco farmers under the former’s corporate social responsibility program.

Mighty Corp has already delivered 90 diesel-fed water pumps and 16 units of power tillers to various farm groups in the provinces of Abra, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Isabela and Cagayan.

There are also plans to support the NTA’s yearly search for the best tobacco farmers in the country. NTA Administrator Edgar D. Zaragoza said Mighty’s CSR will boost the tobacco industry.

“The more players dealing directly with the farmers, the better and merrier,” he said.

“This should encourage other industry players to do the same to help the tobacco farmers and their families," he added.
