AN AGRICULTURE startup said it sees an opportunity in offering small dairy farmers quality silage that can be stored, simplifying animal feed logistics.

Golden Forage said it offers compact silage balers and wrap technology which s make it “possible for smallholder farmers to store and transport forage more efficiently across rural and island communities.”

Founder Pat Erick Buna said in an e-mail that the expected transformation of feed logistics will stem from “the overlooked but critical aspect of forage production and preservation.”

“In the Philippines, where access to quality feed is inconsistent and post-harvest losses are high, our silage baling model offers a scalable solution tailored for smallholder settings,” he added.

Golden Forage’s baling process helps farmers “preserve surplus feed and reduce seasonal shortages,” Mr. Buna said.

Storability makes surplus silage a high-value product as a result of the mechanization  of part of the feed process, he said.

“There’s a clear opportunity to modernize local supply chains, create decentralized baling centers, and build a national forage ecosystem that’s resilient, efficient, and farmer-led,” he said.

The challenges, according to Mr. Buna, include infrastructure gaps, limited access to financing, and low awareness of forage technology.

He noted that agriculture is fragmented, under-mechanized, and often resistant to change.

“Building trust and aligning with cooperatives, local governments, and national agencies takes time — but it’s essential to long-term adoption,” he said.

On the other hand, he said the need for “consistent, storable, and affordable feed is urgent—especially with growing demand for livestock and dairy,” Mr. Bune said.

“Our silage baling model addresses this gap in a way that’s scalable, localized, and suitable for smallholder conditions.”

Golden Forage sees the potential for its technology to become  “a key enabler of a decentralized, farmer-driven forage supply chain in the Philippines,” Mr. Buna said.
