Inauguration of Mindanao Grains Reina Mercedes Facility
REINA
MERCEDES,
“The small corn farmers will
directly benefit from this,” Mr. Aquino said at the commissioning rites for the
facility, during which he ceremonially switched on the equipment that started
the center’s operation.
The immediate benefit for
the farmers will be in the form of higher incomes and better yields because of
the infrastructure and the machines that will dry and process their corn, Mr.
Aquino said.
The RMCC, built at a cost of
P500 million, will help local farmers by directly purchasing their produce of
fresh corn-on-the-cob, and processing them into high-quality corn grains for
the food-milling and food-processing industries.
The facility can process up
to 200,000 metric tons (MT) of corn-on-the-cob into dried high-quality grains,
and store these in huge, state-of-the-art bulk silos with a total capacity of
60,000 MT.
It was built by Mindanao
Grain Processing Co. (MGPC), a unit of the La Filipina Uygongco Corp. group of
companies. The MGPC also operates two corn processing centers in Bukidnon
province, but the Isabela facility has five times the capacity of the Bukidnon
plants.
The inauguration of the RMCC
was the highlight of the three-day 7th Philippine National Corn Congress, whose
closing ceremonies Mr. Aquino keynoted yesterday.
The congress is the annual
gathering of more than 3,000 corn farmers and industry leaders, agricultural
technicians and other industry stakeholders.
The President thanked Dr.
Alfonso Uy, the MGPC chair and other company officials for building the
corn-processing center in Isabela.
“You already improve the
quality of their corn harvest, they also manage to sell to you their produce
for the right price,” he said.
The MGPC said it put up the
center “to improve agricultural efficiency, increase farming income, develop
food security and promote social justice not only for the farmers of Isabela
but also for the whole region.”
Isabela province is a major
corn producer in the vast and fertile

administration plans to put up one corn dryer for every 1,000 hectares of
