"For four decades, Filipinos have given Bounty a place on their tables, and the biggest way we can pay back their trust is by strengthening the country's food security. We're committed to safeguarding food security for all Filipinos through agricultural production and leadership." ~Kenneth Cheng, President of Fresh Group and CEO of Bounty Fresh Group Holdings, Inc.

In 2022, the Philippines placed 67th out of 113 nations in the Global Food Security Index. Four years later, the country is facing the same dilemma, with the Department of Social Welfare and Development promoting food security through regional collaboration.

Bounty intends to address this by strengthening local agricultural production and assisting the country in becoming food self-sufficient. The company collaborates with Filipino farmers, giving them with tools, technological support, and training, as well as market access required to succeed in a competitive environment.

These activities serve to ensure fresh, safe food for the country while also actively promoting a better, more sustainable Philippine poultry business.

"We want the whole agricultural sector to thrive together, so we empower thousands of entrepreneurs across the country and help farmers and livestock raisers succeed by providing advanced nutrition, technology, and technical support that improve animal health, productivity, and profitability. When our partners succeed, they help strengthen food security, create jobs in their communities, and ensure Filipino families continue to have access to safe, high-quality, and affordable food." ~Mr. Rodolfo Abelardo "Polo" Ablazo, general manager of the Commercial Feeds - Agribusiness Group

Food made better

Bounty's humble beginnings date back to Santa Maria, Bulacan, when it was a single-layer farm with 5,000 chickens. Over the years, it has invested in grandparent farms, parent stock farms, hatcheries, dressing factories, feed mills, and cool-cell broiler complexes to ensure that all of its products are safe and of excellent quality.





By 2023, the corporation had converted from many Bounty enterprises to One Bounty with four core groups: Bounty Fresh Group, Agribusiness Group, Branded & Value-Added Group, and Restaurant Group, each with a distinct focus of operations within Bounty. This change attempted to consolidate strategic vision, allowing seamless collaboration. Maximizing the overall value provided to partners and customers. This integration ultimately benefited the company's whole ecology.

"For 40 years, Filipinos have trusted and allowed us to be part of their meals, so we share our success with everyone who welcomed us to their tables. We will continue to provide comfort food that makes every moment better." ~James Benedict Carreon, president of Restaurant Group


"Our diverse portfolio of convenient, high-quality, and nutritious products is what makes Bounty a household fixture daily. We will continue to push the boundaries of food innovation, staying true to our commitment to 'food made better." ~Arch. Edwin Chen, president of Branded & Value-Added Group










Bounty's comprehensive approach--from feeding cattle to fueling the nation--solidifies its position as a pillar of the country's agriculture economy. As the company celebrates its 40th anniversary, it commits to continue innovating and partnering to ensure that a more food-secure tomorrow is within reach for the nation.




Today, the company continues to grow with more than 2,200 stores nationwide under the country's leading takeaway brands, Chooks-to-Go and Uling Roasters.
