FPRDI helps Zambales tree growers’ sawmill
June 11, 2013
The Botolan Agro-Forest, Inc. (BAFI), a tree growers’ cooperative based in Zambales, is looking forward to brighter days. It has just purchased two units of Woodmizer sawmill following the technical advice of FPRDI’s For. Pablito Alcachupas.
Mr. Dick Hakansson, BAFI manager, has asked for FPRDI’s help as their sawmilling plant has been suffering from poor productivity for one year now, unable to reach its designed rated capacity of 5,000 board feet of logs per 8-hour operation.
