HISTORY

A short story about us

Fu Dalu Agricultural Products Trading was established in 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — a time that challenged many, but also inspired resilience and innovation. Born from the vision to uplift local agriculture and empower communities, Fu Dalu began its journey by focusing on abaca farming, recognizing its potential as a sustainable and high-value crop.

Our first step was the establishment of a 5-hectare abaca nursery in Tipanoy, Iligan City, which laid the foundation for our commitment to quality and environmental sustainability. From there, we expanded our reach by delivering abaca seedlings to various municipalities across Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Sur, helping local farmers start or revive their own abaca plantations.

What started as a small initiative has since grown into a reliable partner in the abaca industry — supporting local livelihoods, promoting eco-friendly materials, and continuously developing innovative agricultural solutions.
