Haciendas Progreso and Ma. Antonia, situated in Barangay Bulad, Isabela, desire to bring development into the area by going into economic activities to convert these land devoted to sugarcane into an agro-industrial hub for the Municipality. The basic idea is to employ agriculturally based technology that will require some form of industrialization of which the local population has already some familiarity with. It is important that the project must have a local as well as an international impact.
The decision was to go into organic farming and produce organically grown products for local sales as well as for export to the neighboring Asian countries and the western market. Products will be in the form of muscovado sugar, frozen semen or young animals for breeding from a nucleus swine farm, quality gamefowls or meat from organically maintained herds of cattle and goats.
The project milestones shall be as follows :
- Utilization of existing cattle and gamefowl farm waste to start organic buildup.
- Establish a large herd of Boer goats and upgrade these animals.
- Establish a swine genetic nucleus farm.
- Develop an organic fertilizer plant.
- Practice organic farming.
- Build a muscovado plant.
