By Manny Piñol
Thailand's largest agricultural corporation, the Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group), is investing an estimated $2-B in the Philippines over the next five years to produce pork and chicken both for the local and export market.
President Rody Duterte, in a meeting with CP Group officials led by its Chairman Dhanin Chearavanont in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, welcomed the planned investment of the Thai corporation in the Philippines.
Chearavanont also said his corporation will donate a modest amount of P10-M for President Duterte's campaign against drugs and for his rural development program.
