SoCot carapreneurs eye promising biz in new dairy hub Jul 2020 Bubalus DA-PCC at USM,SoCot ,dairy hub ,Surallah, South Cotabato By Rodolfo Jr. Valdez Dairy buffalo farmers in South Cotabato prepare for exciting opportunities in dairying with an assured market for their milk produce following the establishment of a marketing outlet in Surallah, South Cotabato. DA-PCC at USM Center Director Benjamin John Basilio leads the groundbreaking ceremony for the new dairy hub in South Cotabato. During a groundbreaking ceremony held last July 8, Department of Agriculture-Philippine Carabao Center at University of Southern Mindanao (DA-PCC at USM) Center Director Benjamin John Basilio emphasized the importance of the dairy hub as a venue to promote quality milk products in Region XII. Said hub is the first-ever processing hub for buffalo’s milk in the region. “We are expecting an increase in the demand for buffalo’s milk products following this milestone,” Loida Estañol, a dairy farmer and member of Canahay Dairy Farmers Association, said. Underscoring the DA’s slogan “Masaganang Ani at Mataas na Kita”, Department of Agriculture Region XII Director Arlan Mangelen expressed his staunch support to the project to help achieve the goal to produce more milk in the region and alleviate farmers from mere subsistence. The construction of the Php3.6-million dairy hub is part of the Php10 million budget of the Carabao-Based Business Improvement Network (CBIN) project for South Cotabato, as initiated by the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food. “With the establishment of this hub, we are gradually completing the carabao value-chain in South Cotabato. Buffalo’s milk for processing will be coming from the produce of carapreneurs from Banga, Lake Sebu, Sto. Niño, Surallah, T’boli and neighboring towns in South Cotabato”.
