POVERTY seems to be the major issue hounding our people. Food availability, lack of employment, lack of education, housing, medical needs, etc. are all related to POVERTY.
TUKO is a name that Filipinos recognize. It is a Filipino name for the Gecko that thrives in natural environments. Since it is a predator and usually eats the small insects, it cannot exist nor thrive in an environment ravished by chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and therefore may be considered as a harbinger of green and healthy habitat. Finding the TUKO in a farm signifies that the environment around is healthy and green and safe. It is a name that reflects our social advocacy, that of helping the environment by promoting the sales of green healthy and organic goods, providing the means for the poor and small farmers and integrators, to reach the nationwide and international markets.
TUKO DISTRIBUTION INC. is a social advocacy tool for assisting FARMERS and Micro Small Medium Enterprises in the Philippines to have market accessibility, utilize and optimize their product market exposures, sales, delivery, and logistics capabilities. Where before small farmers have no capacity for volumes, manufacturing ability, and market reach, TUKO Distribution Inc. aims to provide the vehicle to catapult the small farmers into the marketplace and participate progressively towards wealth and employment generation, capacity building, and social networking.
Tuko Distribution Inc. is fully committed to our local Agriculture. TDI has a personal relationship with the farmers. These personal relationships allow the farmers to grow with confidence, knowing they will have a reliable outlet for their produce. “Farm Direct Relationships’ is at the core of Tuko Distribution’s program and our commitment to sustainability.
This concept has been developed in the Western World(particularly in the US), and we seek to copy the same principles to develop the market strategy for the farmers. As communities rally around them, supporting them, buying their produce at the right time and prices, it does provide them the kicker start to bring their operations to a more profitable one, while providing the community with fresh, green, and safe food produce from their farms. The harvests are not just green and organic, but SAFE.
We carry a wide range of fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen seafood, frozen meats, and dried fish from different provinces in the Philippines. In March 2021, we came up with Tuko Merkado, and opened our tukomerkado.com website, designed for retail purchases to be delivered within Metro Manila and nearby Areas.
