Empowering Women With Livelihood Program

Southern Fresh Products, Inc., an exporting company of fresh Del Monte Gold pineapples under the Del Monte label, helps empower community women with livelihood program.

These women-members who are dependent wives, mothers, or sisters of landowners or employees of SFPI get their source for their daily consumption out of their earnings from the livelihood project. Otherwise, they are plain home-buddies with no income to support their families.

The program includes bag- and stuffed toy-making, food processing, pillow- and curtain-making, as well as vegetable gardening. They get orders, which have been growing larger, from neighboring communities and nearby towns in Bukidnon. Meanwhile, they sell the vegetables, which they harvest from their garden, to nearby neighboring communities.
