Representatives from Coconut Alliance of the GIZ Office Manila paid a courtesy visit to Department of Agriculture (DA) 12 OIC Regional Executive Director Dr. John Pascual today, July 5, in City of Koronadal, South Cotabato.

Chief Advisor and Project Leader Cornelia Skokov presented to DA 12 top officials the project entitled “Coconut Alliance: Towards Sustainable Coconut (Oil) Production at Scale – Supporting Sector Transformation in the Philippines” implemented in 2021 until 2025.

This project seeks to enhance the demand of coconut oil in Southern Mindanao, where 10,000 smallholder farmers create higher incomes, increase farm productivity and transparency in coconut supply chains and market linkages, and structure replication and upscaling beyond the project’s lifetime.
