MacroAsia New Ventures, Inc. (MNVI) has started a farming project that will support and strengthen the supply chain for its inflight kitchens and food commissary operations.
MNVI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of aviation support services provider MacroAsia Corporation, announced in a regulatory disclosure that it partnered with CoGrow Agricultural Services (CoGrow PH), a social enterprise that focuses on transforming idle lands into sustainable farms.
The agricultural production will be undertaken t MacroAsia’s own property in Maragondon, Cavite, where its water treatment plant is also located. Farmers from the area will be tapped, supported by CoGrow PH’s technical expertise.
MNVI said the project is designed to directly supply a portion of the leafy vegetable requirements of MacroAsia’s three kitchens.
“By internalizing selected agricultural inputs, MacroAsia aims to reduce procurement
costs, mitigate exposure to price volatility, and lower logistics-related expenses, while enhancing reliability, quality control, and predictability of supply,” the company said.
“These efficiencies are expected to contribute to improved operational resilience and margin stability within the MacroAsia Food Group,” it added.
The farm is projected to produce up to 100,000 kilograms of leafy vegetables annually, with company demand as priority.
“This project will pave the way for expansion of further agricultural production, looking at a target base of produce beyond MacroAsia’s own requirements,” the company said.
Land preparation is scheduled to start this month and the initial harvest is expected by the end of May 2026.
MacroAsia also noted that the project is part of its broader environmental, social, and governance framework, with localized agricultural production seen to reduce supply chain-related emissions and promote responsible land use and sustainable farming practices.
