CAFFMACO engages in the manufacture of quality feeds, operating a consumer store, livelihood projects such as Dispersal, Mara Farm and other services. Livestock and poultry production has generated the profitable component of farming system in the province of Cavite but the main problem of the industry and the livestock raisers was that the pork production is always faced with uncertainty such as the price, quality and marketing of the animals and inconsistent demand and supply which are affecting not only producers but then even the consumers who have to pay a high price for pork in market. The cost of meat is too expensive now a days and allowing them to spoil would mean throwing away a good sum of money.

The cooperative expect expansion in the field of agro-processing and think of some measures for the development of the projects as additional services to members. As such, the Board created a new department, the “Meat Processing Department. Meat Processing is the generic term used to describe the industry. However, a number of terms are used to describe the facilities at which a meat processing occurs, including abattoirs, slaughterhouses and meat packing plants. The terms abattoir and slaughterhouse are synonymous and refer to plants which slaughter livestock and dress carcasses only, often with limited or no processing of by-products. Meat packing plants undertake slaughter and carcass dressing, but also undertake the further processing of meat products and by-products.

To provide members with good quality processed meat that were not infested by disease and/or imported, Caffmaco also engages in meat processing.

The project can also be a market outlet for the produce of members. The processed meat includes skinless & native longanisa, bacon, tocino, lumping shanghai, pork tapa, hamburger patties and embutido. These products were branded as Caffmaco’sBest.
