Century Pacific Food Inc (PSE Ticker: CNPF), the Philippines’ largest canned food company, has been awarded by Asiamoney as the country’s Best Managed Company in 2016, under the Small Cap category.

Century Pacific Food Inc. (CNPF) has been named Asia’s “Marketing Company of the Year” by the Asia Marketing Federation (AMF), one of Asia’s foremost governing bodies in marketing.

Forty companies from all over the region were nominated for the prestigious award, from which 16 finalists were chosen representing a total of nine nations.

The Philippine’s largest canned food manufacturer, Century Pacific Food, Inc. (CNPF), has joined a global coalition to address tuna supply and sustainability challenges.
CNPF, through its wholly-owned subsidiary General Tuna Corporation, is the first Philippine company to join the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) which advocates improved fishery management, research and development, and responsible fishing practices.

How can operators in the Philippines sustainably expand the tuna fisheries industry?

Filipinos are estimated to consume about three cans of tuna a year, and expectations are that as purchasing power strengthens, this will rise to at least five cans of tuna over the next few years, bringing the consumption level closer to that of other countries in the region.
