Vitarich Corporation, a major Philippine company that produces chicken and animal feeds, recently held its yearly meeting with stockholders on June 26, 2026. According to a disclosure filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 10, 2026, the company shared how it performed in 2025 and outlined its future plans under a theme called “Renewed Purpose.”

What Does Vitarich Do?

Think of Vitarich (trading on the Philippine Stock Exchange under the symbol “VITA”) as a company that helps feed chickens and other farm animals, and also raises chickens itself. They make the special food that chickens eat, they raise chickens on farms, and they sell chicken products to people. The company is based in Marilao, Bulacan.

How Did Vitarich Perform in 2025?

According to the company’s report, Vitarich had a strong year financially:

• Total Sales: The company earned ₱12.35 billion in revenues for 2025
• Net Income (Profit): They made ₱290.4 million in profit, which is 34% more than the previous year – that’s like earning ₱134 and then earning ₱179 the next time
• Cash on Hand: The company had ₱841.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, meaning they have more money available to use when needed
• Total Equity: The company’s total equity grew to ₱2.51 billion, which shows the company is financially stronger

What is “Renewed Purpose”?

Company President Ricardo Manuel M. Sarmiento explained that 2025 wasn’t just about making money – it was about the company thinking deeply about why it exists and what it wants to achieve. He said the company wants to help Filipino farmers and farm business owners (called “agripreneurs”) succeed, support people’s jobs, and help build a better food supply system for the Philippines.

Sarmiento stated: “We did more than look back at decades of growth, cycles of challenge, and subsequent recovery. We engaged in a profound organizational reflection. We took a step back to reassess not just how we operate, but why we exist.”

Changes in Leadership

During the stockholders’ meeting, shareholders made an important decision. They voted to increase the number of company directors from 9 to 10 people. They also elected Isabella Victoria M. Sarmiento as a new member of the Board of Directors.

Focus on Sustainability

The company also mentioned it’s paying more attention to ESG – which stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. This means Vitarich is trying to be more responsible about protecting the environment, helping society, and running the company properly. These principles are being included in how they buy materials, produce their products, and manage risks.
