Hoc Po Feeds Corporation was established in 1989 as a prawn
feed manufacturer in the Philippines. Despite being quite late in entering
the prawn feed milling business, Hoc Po Prawn
Feeds has easily penetrated the blooming prawn industry and earned
the respect of many prawn farmers as well as their competitors. However,
due to the onset of the diseases that was brought about by the unsustainable
prawn culture practices in the year 1994, the once blooming Philippine
prawn industry suddenly collapsed.
This
problem did not stop the growth of Hoc Po Feeds Corporation. Intensive
research in finding solutions to revive the ailing prawn industry, as
well as diversifying the lost feed volume by manufacturing sinker fish
feeds, were the courses of action that the company had to take. True enough,
its prawn feeds became the present market leader in the Philippines and
its sinker fish feeds became the choice of many serious fish farmers.
As
the company grew, it had expanded its product line by introducing the
floater feeds by the mid-part of the year 2001. Again, Hoc
Po's Floater Feeds had easily gained the respect of many fish
farmers all over the country.
The
emergence of Hoc Po Feeds Corporation can be attributed to the
sincere dedication of the management and its whole organization in making
the Philippine Aquaculture Industry a sustainable and globally competitive
one. Hoc Po is now advocating the sustainable aquaculture technology by
manufacturing high quality feeds, and updating their business partners
with effective modern culture technologies that will maximize their production
and profitability without harming the inside and outside environment of
their culture systems.
Hoc
Po Feeds Corporation is aware that the Philippine Aquaculture Industry
as a whole will always face sustained challenges and crises brought about
by the fast changing world and globalization. Onset of diseases, volatility
of the price of the farmer's produce, fish kills due to bad culture practices,
and the high cost of raw materials to produce high quality feeds are the
major problems that Hoc Po and the entire industry must cope with.
The
present course of action of Hoc Po Feeds Corporation is to maintain
its present objectives. These are: continue to produce high quality aqua
feeds by utilizing the best raw materials available, and assisting their
clients though the company's technical and sales force on how to be efficient
while achieving the proper sustainable culture practices.
These
are the definite reasons why at present, Hoc Po Feeds Corporation
has earned the respect of all the major aquaculture players and institutions
in the Philippines.
Hoc
Po Feeds Corporation knows that it will always face the challenges
ahead before achieving global competitiveness and will always follow its
battle cry, "Your Strategic Partner in Sustainable Aquaculture".
For Hoc Po, this battle cry means manufacturing the best aquaculture feeds
and assisting its partners with the proper culture technology
