From Humble Beginnings to a Beacon of Health and Sustainability

Nestled in the serene landscape of Brgy. Mabini, Mainit, Surigao del Norte, Rural Blends Food Products Manufacturing began as a small but ambitious initiative fueled by the passion and vision of its founder, Mr. Allan Sevandal. What started as a home-based operation has since blossomed into a thriving enterprise dedicated to producing nutritious and wholesome food products for health-conscious consumers.

A Vision Rooted in Health and Quality

From the very beginning, Rural Blends was driven by a clear mission: to provide premium roasted corn powder and roasted organic black rice powder—products that cater to the growing demand for healthier food alternatives. Mr. Sevandal recognized the need for accessible, high-quality nutrition and set out to meet it with innovation, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Overcoming Challenges with Resilience

The journey was not without obstacles. Establishing a food manufacturing business in a rural setting came with its own set of challenges—from sourcing raw materials to maintaining operational efficiency. However, the most devastating setback came in December 2021, when Super Typhoon Odette wreaked havoc, partially damaging the company’s resources and facilities.

Yet, in the face of adversity, Rural Blends found strength in resilience. With the support of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Surigao del Norte through the Pangkabuhayan sa Pagbangon at Ginhawa (PPG) program, the business was able to recover. Grants and supplies provided by DTI allowed Rural Blends to rebuild, restock, and resume operations, proving that even the toughest challenges could be overcome with determination and community support.

A Commitment to Health, Sustainability, and Community

Guided by six core objectives—promoting health and wellness, ensuring product quality, prioritizing sustainability, fostering innovation, engaging with the community, and achieving sustainable growth—Rural Blends has built a reputation as a trusted name in food manufacturing.

Flagship Products: Nutritious, Delicious, and Wholesome

Beyond business success, Rural Blends has made a lasting impact on the local community. By creating job opportunities and supporting local initiatives, the company has become a catalyst for economic growth in Brgy. Mabini. Its commitment to community engagement has not only improved livelihoods but also strengthened bonds with the people it serves.
