Summary
Coconut farming is a primary industry in the province of Misamis Oriental where most of our farmers/partners are located. This project will support coconut-based women-led enterprises with the goal of improving their lives by making and selling value-added products from coconuts and secondary crops. These products include charcoal from coconut shell, vinegar from coconut water, coco peat, organic fertilizer and coco-coir from husks, vegetables and processed snack food and drinks, among others.
