new proposition

medyo mabudlayon an blog ta.

anyway, any news with our investment? I have a new one for you, why not invest it in dairy? Before any reaction, here's a background.

Land O' Lakes is a cooperative based in Minnesota. Their main business is in dairy and accounts for majority of milk produced in that state. Some 5 years ago LOL created a foundation in the Philippines to facilitate grants through a commodity monetization scheme. A large surplus of powdered milk will be given to the Philippines in which the latter can sell and proceeds to fund local nutrition projects. As part of the bargain, my agency, NDA, required LOL to set up a modest production unit in Camarines Sur. Goa became that area and right now outgoing Mayor Marcel Pan is producing so much milk that he is marketing his produce in Naga. There are now three dairy plants in Goa although only two are operating steadily.

A fourth milk plant was constructed two years ago in Pili was visited by US Ambassador Kenny with DA Secretary Yap early this year. This new plant is rated to process 2,000 liters of milk a day with facilities for cheese making. However, due to the limited number of animals, Camarines Sur can only produce so much. This is very disheartening as Gov. LRay, during the Kenny visit asked that the plant supply 900 liters of milk for its hunger mitigation measures.
In Goa, Mayor Pan is doing the groundwork for commercial marketing of his flavored yoghurt and other products.

By june this year, 200 animals will arrive from New Zealand to beef up production in Camarines Sur targeting recipients from four municipalities around Naga.

Would this mean that milk supply will be enough to answer the demand in Naga. Not quite. Since recipients are newbies there might be fallouts.

Medyo bitin pero lets leave some of the details for later. Tama na siguro an diyot na detalye for you to ruminate and let your imaginations fly. If you have questions please do text me, Jet has my new number, by the way, for security reasons I cant post my number here.
