J.K. Mercado initially ventured into production and distribution of Cavendish bananas in 1971. With the skilled and motivated work force, the company later ventured into Hog farming which has grown steadily over the years with its allied businesses such as cut flowers, crocodile farming and ostrich farming. With these developments, JK Mercado is now aggressively participating with ever-growing initiatives to source sustainable production of Bananas & Hogs; support the local community and protect the environment through conservation and education. ~ JKM
