Jerr Quelnat Gerardo, "Gery", of the Philippines is an agricultural intern undergoing on-the-job training at a chicken farm in Chiba Prefecture. The farm is a large-scale operation, raising 90,000 chickens and producing over 70,000 eggs a day. The owner of the farm, Suzuki Nobuyoshi, has no successor and is entrusting the future of the farm to Gery. He hopes to have Gery learn advanced Japanese chicken farming technology, so that in the future he can build a chicken farm in the Philippines and have Gery manage it. Gery's dreams for the future are supported by his fianc仔, Irene Catura, who works as an intern at another farm. "I'm proud of my job, because it's something young Japanese don't know about", says a smiling Gery. His words ring with the confidence that he can support the Japanese poultry industry into the future. |
