Charoen Pokphand Foods Philippines Corp. (CPFPC), the local subsidiary of Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Co. Ltd., will invest USD 8 million in a new agro-industrial poultry facility in Abucay, Bataan, to meet rising domestic demand for chicken.
The facility, located in a strategic agro-industrial corridor, will feature modern tunnel-ventilated poultry houses and ancillary infrastructure, ensuring a safe, stable, and environmentally compliant supply of broiler chicken. CPFPC emphasizes measures for waste management, odor control, and resource efficiency.
Commissioning is planned for December 2028, with commercial operations beginning in January 2029. The project is expected to generate employment, strengthen agricultural linkages, and support regional economic growth.
This move complements CPFPC’s USD 1 billion investment to expand hog production and restore pre-African swine fever levels by 2028, reinforcing the company’s commitment to food.
