Cargill inaugurates poultry plant in the Philippines
The new poultry processing facility has a capacity of 45 million chickens per year and it is the largest plant in the Philippines, providing dressed and marinated chicken to meet the increased demand at JFC brands in the country.
The investment, which underscores C-Joy’s commitment to deliver convenient, safe and affordable chicken products to the JFC brands in the Philippines was celebrated in the presence of the Batangas 3rd District Congresswoman Ma. Theresa Collantes, Sto. Tomas Mayor Edna Sanchez, and the United States Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim.
„Cargill and Jollibee came together to start this plant because of our common commitment to the highest standards in product quality and food safety. This is reflected in this new plant which harnesses technology and global experience to deliver tasty chicken products in an environment which is safe for our employees and is environmentally sustainable,” Paul Fullbright, President and CEO of C-Joy said.
C-Joy is partnering with local poultry farmers in Batangas and nearby provinces to supply chickens to the new facility.
Cargill provides food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services to the world. The company has 155,000 employees in 70 countries.
