The DOST-PCAARRD-funded program, titled “Development of Integrated Crop Management [ICM-Tomato] for Increasing the Productivity of Fresh and Processing Tomato Production,” aims to develop integrated crop management (ICM) technology to increase the productivity of fresh and processing tomatoes in the Philippines using adaptable and site-specific products and technologies for pest control and nutrient management.
The Northern Foods Corporation (NFC) is an agri-based firm established in March 1984 as an anchor company initially to produce paste and subsequently process other agri-based products from indigenous crops. As an anchor company, it serves as an industrial link for small farmers who are contracted to produce raw materials to be processed.
NFC’s processing plant, which is located at San Joaquin (Sarrat, Ilocos Norte) was designed, manufactured and installed by the Franrica Manufacturing Corporation of the USA. It has a processing capacity of 500 metric tonnes of fresh fruits per day and produces about 4,000 metric tons of tomato paste every processing season in January to April every year.
