BDO Unibank Inc. has reaffirmed its support for the expansion of Bounty Fresh Food, one of the country’s largest fully integrated poultry producers, in a bid to bolster food security and nutrition in the Philippines.
“Food security and nutrition have always been at the heart of our purpose,” said Tennyson G. Chen, chairman of Bounty Fresh Group Holdings, Inc. “We entered the agri-food space to contribute to these national priorities while helping professionalize and boost the local poultry sector.”
From its roots as a modest family-run business, Bounty Fresh has evolved into a major player in the agri-food industry, with popular brands such as Bounty Fresh and Chooks-to-Go. The company is recognized for its innovations in traceable, antibiotic-free poultry and has established a nationwide food system focused on resilience and inclusivity.
BDO has been a long-time financial partner in Bounty Fresh’s growth, backing initiatives from local infrastructure improvements to global acquisitions, including New Zealand’s Tegel Foods. The bank’s support has enabled the company to modernize operations, improve logistics, and build new facilities, generating jobs in rural areas.
“BDO has played an important role in enabling Bounty’s growth over the years. From everyday banking and cash management needs to strategic milestones, they have been a valuable part of our journey,” Chen added.
BDO EVP and head of Institutional Banking Group Charles M. Rodriguez highlighted the bank’s broader mission. “At BDO, supporting companies like Bounty Fresh Food goes beyond financing. We share a vision of nation-building – one that empowers communities and uplifts the lives of Filipinos.”
