Ralph Timothy Go is the Vice President for Sales and Business Development at Go Traktora Trading Incorporated, a leading dealer of John Deere, Kubota, and Sonalika tractors in the Philippines. In his role, Ralph is not only driving the company’s growth but also leading transformative initiatives that shape the future of agriculture. With a focus on strategic industry partnerships and a bold presence in social media and events, he’s ensuring the brand continues to grow and thrive. “I drive the growth of the company by being the first mover in the industry, initiating collaborations, being aggressive in social media and events, and expanding our branches and dealerships,” Ralph explains.
Last year, Ralph spearheaded the successful launch of the Go Traktora Fest, a groundbreaking event in the industry. This initiative brought together the company’s loyal customers, known as “Ka-Traktora,” and key partners to strengthen bonds and celebrate shared goals. “We gathered our existing customers, ‘Ka-Traktora,’ and our partners to further strengthen our relationship,” Ralph explained.
Ralph is incredibly excited about the future of Go Traktora Fest, envisioning an even bigger and more impactful event in the years to come. For him, the festival isn’t just about celebrating the present — it’s about inspiring the next generation to embrace farming, agricultural mechanization, and innovation. He believes that by fostering a deeper sense of community and purpose, Go Traktora Fest can be a catalyst for positive change, encouraging young minds to see farming not just as a tradition, but as an exciting, sustainable, and forward-thinking career path. Through this event, Ralph is helping to build a brighter future for both the agriculture industry and the generations that will carry it forward.
Reflecting on his career journey, Ralph acknowledges that his early years in the family business were filled with challenges, especially when it came to navigating the complexities of personal and professional conflicts. Yet, it was his unwavering optimism and resilience that allowed him to overcome these hurdles. “I’ve always believed in the power of optimism,” Ralph shared. “I know that hard work eventually pays off, and if I fail, it doesn’t stop me from reaching my goals. Instead, failure becomes an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve.” His mindset has not only helped him overcome obstacles but has also shaped the foundation for his success, inspiring him to move forward with determination and a continuous drive for growth.
Looking ahead, Ralph envisions Go Traktora not just leading, but transforming the agricultural landscape in the Philippines. He sees the company as a trailblazer in agricultural mechanization, driving change and innovation to empower farmers and inspire the next generation. But Ralph isn’t just focused on one path—he’s also looking to expand into new industries, all while finding the balance to spend more quality time with his family, the foundation of his strength.
“10 years from now, Go Traktora will be leading the growth of the industry, driving the mechanization of our agriculture and making the next generation excited with farming,” Ralph shared with a confident smile.
With his visionary mindset and unwavering drive, Ralph is planting the seeds for a future where farming isn’t just about tradition — it’s about progress, innovation, and a sustainable future for all. Just like a farmer carefully tending to his crops, Ralph is cultivating a thriving future for Philippine agriculture, one step at a time.
