Although still a small enterprise, the company has already demonstrated strong potential and growing demand for its products. Like many developing businesses, it faces typical challenges such as limited equipment and manual production processes. These hurdles have constrained its ability to scale operations and fully meet market demand. However, through the support of the SETUP 4.0 iFund, DM Agribiz will be able to upgrade its technologies, streamline its workflow, and expand its market reach.

The project amounting to PhP 750,000.00 will provide much-needed technical support to help the company improve its production processes and enhance the quality of its products.

This partnership with DOST marks a significant and promising step forward for DM Agribiz Corporation. By embracing science and technology, the firm is not only strengthening its competitiveness in the fertilizer industry but also reinforcing its commitment to supporting sustainable and resilient farming practices across the region.
