Dairy Box is a local outlet that serves as a venue for PCC’s partner cooperatives in showcasing their products. The outlet sells flavored milk, ice cream, pastries and pastillas from COMAVEMCO MPC members and other dairy buffalo cooperatives. Apart from the adoption of PCC’s local business model, the agency also provided assistance to COMAVEMCO MPC in terms of knowledge in technical and processing goods. “The shop provided value-added benefits to the milk sold by farmers and at the same time promotes Compostela’s local product Queseo” Ebonito Alivio, general manager of the Dairy Box, said. Queseo or local white cheese is the One Town, One Product (OTOP) of Compostela where an annual Queseo festival was being held. More than a hundred people have visited during the outlet opening led by the cooperative’s Board of Director Chairman Vilma Gulane. Amongst present from PCC were Dr. Caro Salces, Deputy Executive Director; Guillerma Abay-Abay, Carabao-based Enterprise Development Coordinator; and Dr. Glen Bajenting, Ubay Stock Farm Officer-in-Charge.
