The fellow is Efren Sotto, who was at the time of our interview the communications manager of Pilipinas Shell’s Corporate Affairs Department.
He finished a Foreign Service course at the University of the Philippines but was very much interested in farming, raising ducks and hito on his farm in Laguna.
Unlike other ambitious raisers, Efren just maintained a flock of ducks numbering 500 which gave him an average of 260 eggs a day. That already gave him a fairly good return because he added substantial value by making salted eggs that commanded a premium price of R4 apiece. At that time, that was considered a high price as most other salted egg makers sold theirs at R3.20 each.
