In a heartening display of corporate social responsibility, two businesses have joined forces to provide much-needed support to Philippine farmers. Go Traktora, a major distributor of world-renowned agricultural tractors, has partnered with Cleanfuel, a fast-growing fuel company known for its quality products and competitive pricing.
The collaboration aims to ease the financial burden on farmers, who have been grappling with rising fuel costs. Cleanfuel, which offers gasoline and diesel at lower prices compared to the industry’s “big three” oil companies, is now providing an additional P3 discount per liter on gasoline and P2 discount per liter on diesel to Go Traktora’s clients.
“We need to help our clients, especially the farmers, since the prices of fuels are going up, and this program is a big help for them,” said Ralph Go, the Vice President for Sales and Business Development at Go Traktora. “This is a big incentive we can give them as we need to help them produce more agricultural products with lesser costs.”
Atty. Bong Suntay, the President of Cleanfuel, echoed this sentiment, stating that the collaboration is part of the company’s social responsibility efforts to support the economic recovery of the country. “The farmers, who are the main clients of Go Traktora, would be the main beneficiary here, and we are very thankful that we are now a part of this effort,” he said.
The partnership is particularly significant for the Central Luzon region, which is considered the “food bowl” of the Philippines. By providing substantial fuel discounts to farmers, the two companies are directly supporting the productivity and profitability of the agricultural sector, which is crucial for the nation’s food security and economic well-being.
“Those P2- to P3-discount to the already cheaper costs of gasoline and diesel these days is a big help among the Cleanfuel customers,” the article notes. “With the collaboration with Go Traktora, farmers can now save big per day, especially when one is using around 30 to 40 liters per day in tilling their land.”
This heartening partnership between Go Traktora and Cleanfuel serves as a shining example of how businesses can leverage their resources and expertise to uplift the lives of those in the agricultural sector, who play a vital role in the country’s development.
