Mighty Corp. and National Federation of Tobacco Growers’ Association and Cooperatives (NAFTAC) plans to jointly pursue outreach projects that wil uplift the lives of tobacco farmers up north.
As a result of their agreement, the local cigarette manufacturer distributed water pumps and power tillers to different farm groups from different provinces up north.
The company also said that they will sponsor the college education of new high school graduates who are children of tobacco farmers under the National Tobacco administration’s three year-old scholarship program.
Finally, the company will also support the National Tobacco Administration's annual search for the best tobacco farmers nationwide.
The administrator said that the company's CSR projects, as well as projects of other tobacco companies, will greatly uplift the lives of tobacco farmers from all over the country.
“The more players dealing directly with the farmers, the better and merrier,” he said.
“This should encourage other industry players to do the same to help the tobacco farmers and their familes,” he added.
In addition to their current projects, Mighty Corp. also increased their tobacco purchase from various tobacco farmers nationwide. They also absorbed tobacco leaves other companies didn't take and bought low-grade crops at very good prices. All of these to ease lives of tobacco farmers nationwide.
