Carapreneurs embark on standardized dairy biz in Mindanao Mar 2025 None dairy biz By Rodolfo Jr. Valdez A total of 45 Dairy Box operators from Regions XI and XII have now embarked on a more standardized carapreneurship as they recently underwent training on the Dairy Box management and operation last February 25-28, 2025 at the ATI Satellite Office, University of Southern Mindanao, Kabacan, Cotabato. Carapreneurs embark on standardized dairy biz in Mindanao The activity, spearheaded by the DA-Philippine Carabao Center at USM, aimed to equip conduit cooperatives with fundamental business knowledge and skills to effectively manage and maximize carabao-based enterprises, strengthen brand identity, and foster customer loyalty towards carabao dairy products. “Adhering to a standardized carapreneurship is key to improving not only the productivity but also the profitability of our carapreneurs. By ensuring uniformity in practices, especially in Dairy Box management, we can create a more sustainable and competitive dairy industry in Mindanao,” DA-PCC at USM Center Director Geoffray R. Atok emphasized. The three-day learning event focused on standardizing operations of the nine Dairy Boxes situated across Regions XI and XII through the discussions on basic business principles, Dairy Box branding, yellow book manual, and marketing strategies. "Ang pinaka-importanteng natutunan ko sa training ay ang mga pangunahing kaalaman sa negosyo, tulad ng pagkakaroon ng malinaw na vision at mission para sa Dairy Box. Binigyan din kami ng mga mahahalagang kaalaman tungkol sa mga estratehiya sa marketing dahil ang pagkakalabawan ay hindi lang natatapos sa pag-alaga ng kalabaw bagkus ay hanggang sa pagnenegosyo ng mga produkto mula rito," Cherry M Damasco, vice chair of Pangi Multipurpose Cooperative, said. Dairy Box is an infrastructure support for smallholder dairy farmers designed to provide them with an opportunity to gain access to the commercial market for greater income. The first Dairy Box store was established in the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija in 2015, and has since expanded nationwide.
