Nueva Ecija gov't , Korean firm to set up mango processing plant
BALER, Aurora September 13 (PIA) -- The provincial government of Nueva Ecija is looking into a partnership with a Korean food processing company for the setting up of a P30 million mango processing plant in line with the goal of turning the province into a food basket in Luzon and in line with the public-private partnership scheme.
Gov. Aurelio M. Umali said that the provincial government is fine-tuning the joint venture with Drupe International, Inc. for a 1,000 square meter mango processing facility.
Umali said that the partnership will harness Nueva Ecija's potentials as a major mango producing area, with the province now ranking first in mango production in Luzon with huge plantations in Palayan City, General Tinio, Jaen and Talavera. (WLB/JSL-PIA 3/NEJ)
