The CamSur Multi-Purpose Cooperative (CMPC) formally inaugurates with a simple celebration of a Holy Mass and ribbon-cutting rites its very own Rice Processing Complex I (RPC I) last October 01, 2016 at Barangay Tariric, Minalabac, Camarines Sur with the officers, management staff, and community members of the said cooperative in festive attendance.
The RPC I was materialized via a grant from the Department of Agriculture Regional Office 5 wherein farmer-members of CMPC were able to access the many activities of government agencies such as NFA that aims to ensure food security and a sustainable rice supply for the province of Camarines Sur.
Part of the activities under the said program are registration as accredited rice miller, capability trainings, seminars, and exposures to the rice business, procurement of paddy rice at more competitive prices. Also, product development through rice branding was given importance in order to attain consumer recognition including new packaging sizes, trademark registration, and current trends in rice marketing to suit the evolving consumer taste and purchasing power.
