Mr. Rivera, the CEO and chairman of SFMH & UEC, became interested in meat processing when he engaged in this type of business in the 1980s to generate additional income for his family. Later, he left his job in the government to put up a one-stop-shop business related to meat processing and later on a training institution where people can develop their entrepreneurial talents and skills.
Spices and Foodmix House serves the needs of meat entrepreneurs and those who wish to engage in meat processing as a livelihood opportunity, while Ultima Entrepinoy continues to cater to people who want to expand their horizon in terms of acquiring skills that would eventually lead to entrepreneurship.
