Businesswoman Finds Sweet Success in Grape Farming

Ma. Candelaria Caballes of MBX Grapes Vineyard in General Santos City

DILIMAN, Quezon City—About 10 years ago, ship repair business owner Ma. Candelaria Caballes was encouraged to try her hands on grape farming but her first attempt did not bear fruit.

In 2014, Caballes tried planting grapes again in a more accessible 1,000-square-meter piece of land. After six months, she was already able to harvest and this was the start of what would be a lucrative farm business.
