Uplifting the Value Chain of Potato Farmers Communities in Philippines
Potato Corner and the Gawad Kalinga’s Bayan-Anihan program have joined forces in a historic ‘Harvest Chips’ collaboration to benefit local communities in the Philippines.
This partnership provides chances for Benguet farmers and Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farmworkers to have their produce and goods reach consumers through well-known brands such as Potato Corner.
“Our meaningful partnership with Gawad Kalinga is the perfect blend of flavor and purpose. At Potato Corner, we firmly believe in enhancing lives not only through our […] flavored fries but also by extending our unwavering support to farmers and communities in need. We’re committed to making a positive impact and spreading joyful moments through every flavorful bite,” Joey Alvero, Potato Corner’s COO, mentioned.
Harvest Chips are locally sourced potato chips that can be coated in Cheese, Barbecue, Sour Cream, Chili-Cheese, Chili-Barbecue, Ranch, Wasabi, and White Cheddar seasonings. Additionally, customers can upgrade to premium flavors like Truffle and Golden Sweet Corn.
“We are filled with pride in our partnership with Potato Corner which is an incredible opportunity to create sustainable pathways for our poorest farmers through Harvest Chips. ‘Harvest’ or ‘Ani’ is a shared vision of our partnership where farmers, Gawad Kalinga community members, and Potato Corner patrons are acting in solidarity to create a value chain that connects and empowers the potential of the poor towards a future full of Hope,” Gawad Kalinga’s Chairman, Kuya Luis Oquiñena, mentioned.
