PUMP: Pinoys Uplifting Marginalized Pinoys

• We are an Institution designed to provide a mechanism to uplift the lives of the poor, most especially the poorest of the poor, and contribute to the revival of the Agriculture Sector; underpinned by the Cooperatives, Business Incubator and Impact Investment.

• We deal in the Agri-Business Industry (any resource either in land or water).

• We provide professional consulting work to other companies/entities as long as related to Agri-Business.

The Challenge

• 25% of Filipinos are marginalized (Poorest of the Poor are the farmers & fishermen; about 80% of the marginalized).

• The economy suffered continuous underdevelopments in Agriculture Sector affecting the manufacturing sector and the export performance.

• There’s a challenge and need to revive the Agriculture Sector which could result in massive poverty eradication as it can provide job and livelihood generation in the country-sides.

• Private Initiatives, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and Government Aid need more collaboration in addressing alarming poverty challenge .

• An effective way to contribute to the uplifting of the marginalized and revival of the Agriculture Sector is to institutionalized a mechanism or system via Agribusiness.

The Framework

The PUMP-PINAS Project is an agri-business initiative that is based on economies of scale (huge volume production), efficient logistics, cost-efficient market ready packaging, product specifications desired by end buyers, continuous enhancement in the product quality, high productivity level, and, most importantly, covers the full value-chain of high-value crops.

PUMP-PINAS AGRI-BUSINESS CORP. GOALS

This accumulated funding will be utilized for PUMP-PINAS Projects in Philippines poverty stricken regions.

Thereby, it seeks to connect all key institutions that have shared mission & vision for poverty eradication.
