With this hub in place, farmers will have an office and training center dedicated to implementing PCA programs effectively in Northern Mindanao. Sounds promising, right?
A Flourishing Future for Farmers

The Coconut Stakeholders’ Forum was packed with insights and plans that got everyone excited. They laid out programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) that aim to strengthen the coconut industry, including a proposed budget for 2027. Talk about forward-thinking!
