Brief Company History And Background

SL Agritech Corporation (SLAC), a subsidiary of Sterling Paper Group of Companies, started in 1998 as an unincorporated entity performing research work on hybrid rice. Inspired by the success of China to overcome food shortages shortly after the postwar era and become surplus producer and exporter of rice, the Lim family, sought and obtained the assistance of Prof. Yuan Long Ping to develop hybrid rice varieties suitable to tropical conditions prevalent in the Philippines. The personal commitment of the
person widely regarded as the “father” of hybrid rice, laid the foundation that dictated the direction and growth of the company and gave it a unique position in the development of hybrid rice technology in the Philippines.

In September 11, 2000, SL Agritech Corporation was formally incorporated with the primary purpose of promoting the development, commercialization and growth of hybrid rice technology. Underlying this objective is a commitment to bring employment and entrepreneurship to the rural areas and stimulate economic growth.Starting modestly with land provided by the provincial government of Laguna in October 1999, SLAC initiated the development of several hybrid rice parental lines which were later transferred to a 40-hectare farm in Sta. Cruz Laguna that now houses the research and breeding complex of the company. In April 2000, the first crop of Mestizo A line and F1 Mestizo hybrid rice seeds were harvested, as stipulated in the initial partnership agreement forged between SLAC and the Department of Agriculture represented by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PHILRICE).In 2001, the Hybrid Rice Commercialization Program was formally launched, signaling the drive to spread hybrid rice technology
across all regions. It was also at this time that another agreement was signed with PHILRICE for SLAC to produce Mestizo Parental seeds. This prompted the company to establish its first major seed production base in Banaybanay, Davao Oriental. The marketing effort at that time consisted of joint undertakings between PHILRICE and SLAC with promotions channeled through trade fairs, television and radio features. These were later followed by more substantive efforts in the form of technology
demonstrations.The development of SLAC’s proprietary hybrid rice SL-8 which was initially released in D.S, 2002-2003, marked the start of the company’s expansion and the development of its marketing organization. A Regional Sales Manager who supervises a team of technical sales representatives and agronomists serving as field technicians divides the national sales area into three sales regions. The field technicians generate demand for the product by constant interaction with farmer groups and local
agriculturists while sales representatives make sure of product availability at places of distribution. The marketing program of SLAC makes no major departures from standard sales and marketing practices of companies in similar fields. It features a marketing organization made up of a strong field base that implements marketing strategies formulated in consideration of the total operating environment. This basically means that the marketing mix takes into account the factors
that determine the “sale-ability” of the product in relation to conditions obtained in the market place. Product features for example must address factors critical to stakeholders in the rice supply chain.Reinforcing the implementation of the marketing programs is a close working relationship with the Regional Field Units (RFU) of the Department of Agriculture, PHILRICE and the various agencies involved in the GMA Rice Program, a strong, albeit tacit partnership evolved with many of these agencies.

Ramgo International Corporation was established in 1966 by the late Ramon A. Ong who during that time noticed that our Filipino farmers always look for a reliable source of high quality seeds at the most economical price.

Ramgo has since taken the challenge of the varying trends in the seed industry particularly the introduction of Hybrid vegetable varieties.Ramgo continues its task of providing the world’s best seeds and has an ongoing research program to screen and test newer and better vegetable varieties to enable our Filipino grower and make his produce compete in the global market.

It has various trial areas all over the Philippines in collaboration with prestigious state universities. This concept behind the collaboration is to test the vegetable varieties in the environment where it is best suited. Ramgo’s technical staff consists of fresh and brilliant agriculturists and are deployed all over the country to disseminate new techniques in the field of horticulture through farmer meetings and demonstration areas.

Our mission is to constantly bring the world’s best high quality seeds to the farmers and render as much service as possible for the betterment of the Filipino farmers.

East West began in 1982 with the goal of blending European style seedsmanship with Asian tropical vegetables.  We were convinced that by introducing intensive breeding programs to developing vegetable seed markets we could improve the lives of farmers while building a successful business.  Our first commercial success, a hybrid bitter gourd, came after several years of research investment.  But our hard work has paid off by significantly raising industry standards for all vegetable seeds.

Our strategy is based on breeding appropriate varieties by living and working in the markets we serve.  From our early work in the Philippines, we have expanded to include breeding programs in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Bangladesh.

Our reputation as producers of excellent varieties reaches even beyond Asia, to Europe and North America where we provide seeds to Asian vegetable producers demanding authentic and high quality vegetables for Asian cuisines.

Our success has come from a unique blend of strengths. 
We have one of the best tropical Asian vegetable germplasm collections in the world, which helps our creative group of international breeders develop superior varieties. But we also have a unique approach to market development and assisting farmers.

Through our network of field representatives we understand firsthand the challenges farmers face, and promote innovative, problem-solving cultivation techniques.  This hands-on exchange of knowledge promotes the success of both our farmer-customers and our business.

History

Response to an urgent need

Rice is crucial to the Philippines' political stability and national security. It is the country's staple food and many Filipinos depend on it for a living. However, increasing population, shrinking rice hectarage, and damage caused by natural calamities, as well as man-made problems beset the rice industry. Compounding these is a policy environment that is more favorable to traders and millers.

While relevant rice research and development (R&D) efforts were done before the 1980s to address problems besetting the rice industry, efforts were at best fragmented and, therefore, did not translate into sustained rice self-sufficiency. Funding support for rice R&D was also negligible primarily because of the country's dependence on the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). But with a global mandate, IRRI cannot respond to all the needs of any one country. It can better help solve the Philippines' rice problems if the country has a strong national rice R&D body that will localize and bring IRRI's technologies to the farms.

Joongang has developed a hybrid cool air dehumidifier dryer that uses contemporary drying technologies and a heat pump in times of increasing oil process and high demand of efficient energy conserving products and alternative energy.

The Department of Agriculture designated as the lead agency to boost farmers' income and reduce poverty incidence in the rural sector through the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP). With its vision, "Prosperous rural communities, built on profitable farms that provide surplus for agro-industry and food security".

Since mid of 2002, a Singapore businessman Mr. Ng Kee Soon, had envisioned IBG Super Microorganism Bio-fertilizer to be the key to modern agriculture in the Philippines and the beginning of a new era. With his persistence to ensue in this vision, he encourages his close associate Mr. Lim Wai Lee, a Hong Kong national and several of his fellow countrymen, to invest in the Philippines and soon after obtained the sole distributorship from Malaysia and the formation of Bio-IBG Philippines Corporation.

The tropical islands of the Philippines is mainly an agricultural country with soil rich and fertile and fueled by the monsoon winds, rainfall occurs from May to February annually. Staple food crops such as rice, corn, sugarcane and vegetables are grown abundantly throughout the year. A wide variety of fruit crops are also grown to cater for the local and foreign market, they are mango, banana, durian and pineapples to name a few, hence it is an agricultural habitat.

In the past few decades, agricultural production in the Philippines has been steadily increasing. Factors contributing to the increase in agricultural output include the use of higher yielding crop varieties, advanced technological equipments and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The use of chemical fertilizers however has its draw backs, these chemical fertilizers are growing more and more expensive and decades of continued use made the soil acidic. Some farmers who would want to rehabilitate their soil were hampered by the cost of lime application, trucking services and labor. With soil becoming acidic, farmers experience a gradual decrease in their production. Forcing them to increase chemical fertilizer inputs, hence increase of the cost of production. The effect would be a higher product cost and loosing a grip on the competitive world market. Too much chemical fertilizer application contributes to environmental hazards such as red tide and poisoning of local fauna and flora species that are beneficial to the growth of agricultural crops let alone health issues. This method will naturally create an upspring of unsustainable farming
