Cassava Assembler Program

The SMFI Agribusiness Development Group is developing a sustainable sourcing program for its domestic raw material requirements. Its target is to mobilize at least 500,000 hectares of farm land in the Philippines. SMFI is committed to help develop the countryside by providing livelihood opportunities in rural communities with the introduction of alternative crops and the improvement of farm technologies and income. We are interested in developing partnerships for the domestic production of cassava, sorghum, sweet potato and other crops for our feed mill facilities nationwide.

For our flagship cassava program, SMFI Agribusiness provides:


  • Guaranteed market with an agreement defining a mutually agreed volume, delivery schedule and product quality standard
  • Guaranteed floor price
  • Start-up technical assistance in production, post-harvest and logistic operations

SMFI Agribusiness is looking for assemblers/consolidators with the following characteristics:


  • Willing to go into large-scale cassava production
  • Willing to invest in post-harvest and logistics facilities
  • Can provide technical and financial assistance to farmer proponents
  • Can consolidate volumes from farmers and ensure delivery to SMC
