BDO Unibank, Inc. continues to strengthen its support for the country’s agriculture sector through its long-standing partnership with Bounty Fresh Group Holdings, Inc., one of the Philippines’ largest fully integrated poultry producers.

“Food security and nutrition have always been at the heart of our purpose,” said Tennyson G. Chen, Chairman of Bounty Fresh Group Holdings. “We entered the agri-food space to contribute to these national priorities while helping professionalize and boost the local poultry sector.”

From a modest family-run enterprise, Bounty Fresh has grown into a leading force in agri-food, with brands like Bounty Fresh and Chooks-to-Go becoming household names. Known for pioneering traceable, antibiotic-free poultry production, the company has built a nationwide food system that is both resilient and inclusive.

BDO has been a key partner in this growth, supporting the company’s expansion from local infrastructure upgrades to major international ventures, including the acquisition of New Zealand’s Tegel Foods. The Bank’s financing has enabled modernization, improved logistics, and the establishment of new facilities across the country—creating livelihoods in rural communities.

“BDO has played an important role in enabling Bounty’s growth over the years,” Chen added. “From everyday banking and cash management needs to strategic milestones, they have been a valuable part of our journey.”

Charles M. Rodriguez, BDO Executive Vice President and Head of Institutional Banking Group, emphasized the Bank’s broader mission: “Supporting companies like Bounty Fresh goes beyond financing. We share a vision of nation-building—one that empowers communities and uplifts the lives of Filipinos.”
