How a century of nourishment built a nation

FOR generations, food has brought Filipinos together. For a century, Del Monte has cultivated farmland in Bukidnon, growing not just pineapples but a legacy of sustainability. Its plantation has achieved carbon-negative status, with trees planted, sustainable water recycling, and soil-conservation initiatives.

Behind every pineapple are the men and women who make up the Del Monte family. Beyond livelihoods, Del Monte has created a community with housing, schools, a hospital, and recreational spaces. Through the Del Monte Foundation, this culture of care extends beyond the plantation, reaching villages. Its livelihood training programs have graduated thousands of individuals. The School Development Program has built classrooms, aided schools, and donated chairs and learning kits. The Foundation’s Scholarship Program has produced graduates and continues to support scholars.

Del Monte’s story continues as it explores new ways to bring goodness into daily life. With innovations in dairy, snacks, and drinks, the brand expands its commitment to quality and nutrition. Del Monte Kitchenomics remains a vibrant community that inspires home cooks.

The Centennial Packaging Refresh symbolizes 100 years of trust. The Kaayo Film tells the story of how this legacy began in Bukidnon and grew through generations.

A century on, Del Monte shows that nourishment begins with the land, is sustained by people, and enriches the nation.
