Carapreneurship in Bataan soon to boom with ALAB-Karbawan project Oct 2020 Bubalus Bataan , ALAB-Karbawan,Carapreneurship By Chrissalyn Marcelo Business opportunities and a sure market for milk are soon to benefit carapreneurs in Bataan following the groundbreaking ceremonies for the establishment of a 300 sq m dairy processing plant and outlet in Orani last December 7. Some of the top officials of DA-PCC and LGU-Orani leading the groundbreaking ceremony of the new dairy processing plant and store held at Orani, Bataan. The Local Government Unit (LGU) of Orani, Bataan, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture-Philippine Carabao Center at Central Luzon State University (DA-PCC at CLSU), led the ceremonies. Orani Mayor Efren Dominic Pascual, Jr. said the facility will serve as a venue where farmer-members of Tapulao Multi-Purpose Cooperative (TMPC) can process and sell their milk-based products. The facility is the first-ever processing plant and outlet for carabao’s milk in their province. “At present, thousands of children are in need of milk. In fact, the national government allocated a total budget of Php31M for the milk supplementation program alone in order to provide milk for these children,” former DA-PCC at CLSU center director Dr. Daniel Aquino said. He added that carapreneurs in Orani can also gain profit by selling ice cream made from carabao’s milk through the ice cream making machine, which was turned over to TMPC during the ceremony. Meanwhile, DA-PCC Deputy Executive Director Dr. Caro Salces underscored the multiple benefits that the project could bring not just to the individual beneficiaries but largely to the community. “The project will help boost the local economy, raise smarter kids through provision of proper nutrition, and bring farmers daily income from selling of carabao’s milk,” Dr. Salces said. In a video message, Senator Cynthia Villar, who sponsored the ALAB-Karbawan Project, said that she is pleased with the implementation of the said project as it can benefit farmers who will continue to engage in the dairy business. TMPC was earlier entrusted with 40 dairy buffaloes from the project prior to the groundbreaking ceremony. The DA-PCC at CLSU also turned over three forage choppers to TMPC as part of its production support. The facility is a component of the Carabao-based Business Improvement Network (CBIN) project popularized as Accelerating Livelihood and Assets Buildup (ALAB)-Karbawan.
