MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Cargill has joined with Biotech Farms in Mindanao, Philippines, for a new feed production partnership.

Cargill will establish a dedicated production line at Biotech’s facility in the Biotech Agro-Industrial Complex in Tantangan, South Cotabato on the island of Mindanao.

Mindanao is one of the most dynamic agricultural regions in the Philippines and home to a growing base of animal farmers, producers and agribusinesses, Cargill said. The partnership is part of the company’s strategy to deliver faster, more reliable and high-quality feed solutions to better serve customers.

“This is about serving our Mindanao customers better — with the reliability, responsiveness, and quality they deserve,” said Sonny Catacutan, senior managing director for Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health Philippines. “The Tantangan Plant gives us a stronger presence in a region essential to the future of the local agricultural industry. It allows us to enhance service to our customers and live our purpose of nourishing the world starting with every bag of feed. We’re excited about what this partnership brings, not just in operational capability, but in helping us create more impact for customers, farmers and communities that depend on us every day.”

Selected through a rigorous evaluation process aligned with Cargill’s global standards in food and feed safety, quality and operational excellence, the Tantangan feed mill features modern milling technology, proven high-performance production and a dedicated monthly feed output to meet the growing demand in the region, the company said.

With production now fully operational, the Tantangan Plant partnership reinforces Cargill’s expanded footprint and supply chain resilience in Mindanao while accelerating capabilities to deliver tailored, safe, and sustainable nutrition solutions at scale, it said.

“This partnership is a testament to our shared mission of empowering Mindanao’s farmers with innovative, sustainable solutions,” said Rey Chiang, chief executive officer of Biotech Farms. “Since 2001, Biotech has been at the forefront of transforming Philippine agriculture through precision farming, renewable energy and circular economy practices. Together with Cargill, we will amplify our impact — ensuring farmers receive high-quality, tailored feed nutrition solutions using Cargill’s cutting-edge research, data-driven insights and a vast supply chain network that not only boosts productivity but also aligns with our commitment to environmental stewardship and community upliftment.”

Biotech Farms is a leading vertically integrated agribusiness in the Philippines, specializing in swine, poultry, feed production and rice milling. Established in 2001, the company produces more than 500 tonnes of animal feed daily and processes premium rice.
