Agri-10 preps for coco facility launch

 

The working committee for the launching of the PhP350-million Integrated Coconut Processing Facility Project held a coordination meeting on April 16, in El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental.

The meeting was presided over by DA-10 Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan, and in the presence of DA Undersecretary Engr. Roger V. Navarro.

The launching, to be held in San Isidro, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental, will feature a project pitching by Director Pacamalan for the said facility to be replicated in other and nearby parts of Region 10.

This public-private initiative aims to transform the coconut industry by producing high-value products such as cocopallets, activated carbon, virgin coconut oil, coco flour, skim milk, and coconut water, making coconut a key local economic driver beyond the traditional copra.#
