The group also visited the one month old red lady papaya plantation of Narcing Mangune and Rene Pablo located at the same area in Suklayin, Arayat.

These farms are now receiving nutritional care from the Feta Corp. acquired BPN organic liquid nutrient.

The group is focusing in the marketing of BPN all over Central Luzon, and working in parallel in planting hectares of red lady papaya and hybrid BT corn.
