SL Agritech Corporation (SLAC) is a research development and production of hybrid rice company in the Philippines.
Background
It is a subsidiary company of Sterling Paper Group of Companies which was founded by Henry Lim Bon Liong in 1998.[1]
From its former land provided by the government of Laguna, it is in the 40-hectare land in Barangay Oogong, Santa Cruz, Laguna, serving as its research and breeding complex. In April 2000, its first hybrid rice seeds were harvested (Mestizo A line and F1 Mestizo hybrid rice seeds). Its production led to an agreement between SLAC and the Department of Agriculture through the representation of PHILRICE. SLAC then established its first major seed production base at Banaybanay, Davao Oriental.
