READ MOREVirginia Farms Inc. in Cebu has significantly expanded its swine business operations in the last eight years backed by various loans provided by the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK). The 52-year-old company currently operates a 360-hectare farm and a pork retail chain with 51 outlets. MANDAUE CITY, Cebu – From a humble backyard venture that started in 1968, Cebu-based Virginia Farms Inc. (VFI) is now regarded as the oldest and largest integrated farm-to-pork business in Central Visayas. With its 360-hectare farm in the town of Asturias and a pork retail chain with 51 outlets, VFI has been helping address the meat requirements in Luzon since last year as pork growers there have been largely affected by the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak. The company was able to ship a total of 10,760 hogs last year and continues to ship frozen carcasses weekly to the region. The growth of VFI, specifically in the last eight (8) years, has been supported by the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) through its Cebu North Lending Center, which financed the expansion of the company’s business operations and the construction of modern facilities. VFI President Rolando E. Tambago is optimistic that recent investments will allow the company to continue supplying Luzon with ASF-free pork. “With the current situation of the pork industry, there’s a good opportunity for us here in the Visayas to expand and meet the gap of pork supply in other areas. I hope that LANDBANK will continue to support us in our plans to expand and grow our business further, as we envision to be a major supplier of quality pork in the Philippines,” said Mr. Tambago. In 2013, VFI first availed of a term loan from LANDBANK to finance the construction of piggery buildings in its site in Asturias. The loan was also used to purchase refrigeration equipment for its pork retail chain, The Pork Shop. As the company decided to expand its piggery operations, it availed of another term loan from the Bank in 2014 to develop additional piggery houses and acquire boars and gilts to improve its genetic stock. With its growing operations expanding rapidly and retail branches opening one after another, VFI once again turned to LANDBANK in 2015 and in 2018 to finance the development of meat cutting and slaughterhouse facilities. Established in 2016, the meat cutting facility can process up to 1,000 hogs daily. Meanwhile, the modern slaughterhouse, which was inaugurated in 2019, can accommodate up to 1,000 heads per day at a processing rate of 100 heads per hour. VFI also availed of a short term loan from LANDBANK in 2020 as a working capital for the expansion of The Pork Shop. Since its inception in 2008, this retail business has grown significantly, with outlets now spread across Cebu, Iloilo, and Biliran. "LANDBANK remains steadfast in supporting the agriculture sector, including the recovery of our local swine industry. We will continue to extend credit assistance to hog raisers as we contribute to ensuring food security in the country," said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. As of end-2020, LANDBANK has extended a total of P237.62 billion in outstanding loans to the agriculture sector, with P142.75 billion representing loans to small, medium, and large agribusiness enterprises. In terms of economic activity, P37.48 billion out of the Bank’s total agriculture loan portfolio financed livestock projects, which includes P16.86 billion for the piggery industry.

READ MORETo support the local hog industry amid threats from the African Swine Fever outbreak, the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has launched a new lending program to assist hog raisers in sustaining and increasing pork production. During the program launch and signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between LANDBANK and the Department of Agriculture (DA) at the DA-Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) Convention Hall in Quezon City on March 17, 2021, the state-run bank said it has earmarked P15 billion for the SWINE (Special Window and Interim Support to Nurture Hog Enterprises) Lending Program. The LANDBANK SWINE Lending Program will be available for commercial hog raisers registered as cooperatives or farmers’ associations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large enterprises or corporations. “LANDBANK is supporting the Department of Agriculture by extending financing support to hog enterprises to sustain their operations and pork supply during this difficult time. Through the LANDBANK SWINE Lending Program, we aim to respond to the recovery requirements of our hog industry and contribute to ensuring food security,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. Loans under the LANDBANK SWINE Lending Program shall be used for swine production, which includes the acquisition or importation of semen or breeding animals; feed milling operations; the construction, improvement or retrofitting of necessary facilities that are compliant to biosecurity protocols of DA, the industry or integrators; acquisition of fixed assets; and as working capital. Eligible borrowers may avail of a short-term loan line or a term loan for up to 80% of their total project cost or financing requirement, with an affordable fixed interest rate of 3% per annum for three (3) years, subject to annual repricing thereafter. Under the Program, short-term loans have a tenor of one (1) year, term loan for permanent working capital is payable up to five (5) years, while fixed asset acquisition is payable based on the cash flow or payback period of the project, with grace period on the principal and interest. Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar and LANDBANK President Borromeo led the MOA signing to formalize the joint implementation of the SWINE Lending Program. Witnesses from DA included Undersecretary for Livestock William C. Medrano, Undersecretary for Operations Ariel T. Cayanan, Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) OIC-Director Reildrin G. Morales, and National Livestock Program (NLP) and Agricultural Training Institute-International Training Center on Pig Husbandry (ATI- ITCPH) Director Ruth S. Miclat-Sonaco, together with LANDBANK Agricultural and Development Lending Sector Officer-In-Charge, Senior Vice President Ma. Celeste A. Burgos. Under the agreement, DA will provide the list of eligible program borrowers and assist them in the preparation of a business plan, enrollment in the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC), and in securing necessary permits. The DA will also provide loan recipients trainings on biosecurity management and breeding or rearing of hogs, while engaging the services of different organizations in capability building and implementation of biosecurity protocols. LANDBANK, for its part, will accept and evaluate loan applications of eligible borrowers and facilitate the release of loan proceeds. The Bank will also monitor the performance of the Program and provide monthly reports to DA. The DA and LANDBANK will work together to promote the Program through the conduct of focus group discussions and dissemination of educational materials. The LANDBANK SWINE Lending Program will be available until December 31, 2026 in line with the Department of Agriculture’s hog re-population plan. Last February, the Bank earmarked P2 billion for its new credit offering for the fisheries sector under the LANDBANK Commercial Fishing Vessel Financing Program, aimed at assisting existing and prospective commercial fishing operators in acquiring fishing vessels for domestic or overseas use.

READ MOREState-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) generated a total of P124.39 billion in sales for the recently concluded Retail Treasury Bonds Tranche 25 (RTB-25) offering. This accounts for 27% of the total P463.32 billion raised by the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr). LANDBANK sales were composed of P78.82 billion in new money and P45.57 billion through the switch offer, where holders of previously issued bonds exchanged their holdings for RTB-25. A total of P78.80 billion from the new sales were facilitated via over-the-counter placements at LANDBANK branches while P20.17 million was transacted through the Bank’s online channels. LANDBANK’s Link.BizPortal via the BTr’s Online Ordering Facility processed P11.89 million of the P20.17 million online sales. The remaining P8.28 million was transacted using the bond purchase feature in the mobile banking application of the Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank), the digital-only branchless bank subsidiary of LANDBANK. “Despite being a universal bank, LANDBANK is also a retail bank that serves the diverse needs of retail investors for affordable and low-risk investment instruments. We will continue to support the National Government’s financing strategy by making government securities more accessible, including to Filipinos abroad,” LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo said. The offer period for RTB-25 began on February 9, 2021 and closed as scheduled on March 4. The three-year issuance carried a coupon rate of 2.375% per annum. The total P463.32 billion raised from the bond offer is more than 15 times oversubscribed from the initial issue size of P30 billion. Proceeds from the issuance will partially fund the government’s national budget for 2021 to support programs aimed at strengthening the Philippine healthcare system and help accelerate economic recovery against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
