Aboitiz Foods, through its producer brands Pilmico and Gold Coin, continues to strengthen its role in shaping the future of the poultry industry through strategic participation in industry events and the continuous expansion of its portfolio.
Poultry has remained one of the most widely consumed sources of protein, accounting for nearly 40% of global meat production in 2020. This makes it a core focus for Aboitiz Foods as it contributes to the sustained growth and development of both the poultry and gamefowl sectors.
This commitment is evident in the manufacturing process, where rigorous quality control is practiced at every stage—from the meticulous sourcing of raw materials to the final, precise formulation. Each product is the result of dedicated research and development, ensuring feeds are designed to support poultry health, productivity, and growth. Pilmico and Gold Coin’s success is further strengthened by the expertise of an exceptional team of nutritionists and veterinarians who provide unwavering technical support to customers.
Strategic Partnership and Community Engagement
In August, Pilmico participated in the 2025 Philippine Poultry Show and ILDEX Philippines, a premier gathering in the agribusiness industry, held at the SMX Convention Center Manila. This event provided a platform to connect with stakeholders and showcase its poultry and specialty nutrition solutions. Representing Pilmico at the ribbon-cutting ceremony were Norie Bermudez, Vice President and Country Director of Agribusiness Philippines, and Teodoro “Teddy” Deocares, First Vice President for Supply Chain.
Continuing its dedication to engage with various communities across the agribusiness industry, Pilmico also took part in the annual Fiestag event held earlier in the month at the SMX Convention Center Manila. This community-focused gathering celebrates Philippine culture and the passion for gamefowl. As a trusted gamefowl brand in the industry, Salto emphasizes its commitment more than just providing feeds; it focuses on building relationships and supporting the gamefowl community. The event brought together Salto endorsers, enthusiasts, and customers, allowing them to engage with one another and participate in different activities.
Salto: A Legacy of Excellence and Global Expansion
Salto Gamefowl Feeds has built a strong reputation in the Philippines, which has paved the way for its expansion into international markets. For over a decade, Pilmico’s flagship gamefowl brand has been a trusted name in the Philippines, recognized for its complete and balanced nutrition that supports breeders in achieving excellent performance. The feed is expertly formulated to promote faster growth and a stronger immune system, helping game birds achieve their peak performance.
Building on this success, Pilmico has launched Salto in new markets, including Indonesia, Guam, and Saipan. Production is currently underway at Gold Coin Indonesia, and the Philippines began exporting to these markets in May 2025. This expansion represents not only business growth but also highlights product quality and marks a significant step in the brand’s international growth strategy. In addition to providing high-quality feeds, Pilmico remains committed to its value of ‘Keeping Customers Top of Mind’ by offering technical support to its customers, guiding them through every stage of their gamefowl journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is poultry a strategic priority for Aboitiz Foods, and what is the scale of the sector?
Poultry accounts for nearly 40% of global meat production, making it one of the most consumed sources of animal protein worldwide. For a food and agribusiness company operating across Asia, that scale makes poultry a natural core focus. Supporting the sector’s growth – through better feeds, technical expertise, and industry engagement – directly contributes to broader food security goals while strengthening commercial position in one of the most significant protein markets globally.
What does Aboitiz Foods’ quality control process involve in poultry feed production?
Every feed product undergoes rigorous quality control at each stage of the manufacturing process – from the careful sourcing of raw materials through to precise final formulation. This is backed by dedicated research and development work and supported by an in-house team of nutritionists and veterinarians who provide ongoing technical assistance to customers. The result is feed specifically designed to support poultry health, productivity, and growth – not generic products but science-driven solutions tailored to the sector.
How did Aboitiz Foods engage with the poultry industry at the 2025 Philippine Poultry Show and ILDEX Philippines?
In August 2025, Pilmico participated in both the Philippine Poultry Show and ILDEX Philippines, a premier agribusiness industry gathering held at the SMX Convention Center Manila. The events provided a platform for direct customer engagement, product showcasing, and knowledge exchange with poultry industry stakeholders. Participation in these events reflects the company’s view that meaningful sector support extends beyond product supply to active involvement in the communities, conversations, and events that shape the industry’s direction.
What role does the gamefowl sector play in Aboitiz Foods’ poultry portfolio?
Alongside commercial poultry, Aboitiz Foods supports the gamefowl sector through its Pilmico and Gold Coin producer brands. The gamefowl industry is a significant and culturally rooted part of the Philippine livestock landscape, and applying the same quality standards – rigorous R&D, formulated nutrition, and dedicated technical support – to this segment reflects the company’s commitment to serving the full breadth of poultry raising in the Philippines rather than focusing exclusively on commercial-scale operations.
What are the key takeaways from Aboitiz Foods’ approach to the poultry sector?
Three themes define the approach. First, quality and consistency in feed production are non-negotiable foundations – from raw material sourcing to final formulation, every step is designed to deliver reliable outcomes for farmers. Second, technical partnership is as important as product supply – nutritionists and veterinarians working alongside customers create sustained value that builds long-term loyalty. Third, active industry participation – at events like ILDEX and the Philippine Poultry Show – positions Aboitiz Foods as a committed stakeholder in the sector’s growth, not just a supplier.
