San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. announced that it will pour in as much as PHP 75 billion into its traditional food business lines--which had taken the backseat in the conglomerate's rapid expansion during the last decade--due mainly to resurgent demand from increasingly affluent consumers. The new investments would include new processing plants for its Purefoods meat products and new bottling lines for its beer business. The expansion of the food business will cost San Miguel an estimated PHP 60 billion in capital expenditures until 2018, the bulk of which will be spent on new production facilities for its hotdog, corned beef and luncheon meat products. The company will be putting up meat processing plants in Cavite, Cagayan de Oro and Cebu, which will be able to produce hotdogs, chicken nuggets and other processed meat products. The company is expanding the capacity of its flour mills by an additional 1,200 tons per day.
