PCA organizes 1st National Coconut Sugar Congress

Koronadal City (March 01, 2012)  - The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Agricultural Research will hold the 1st National Coconut Sap Sugar Congress on March 5-6, 2012 at Marco Polo Hotel, Davao City.

 

With the theme, “Coco Sap Sugar, Handog ng Kaunlaran at Kalusugan sa Pamayanan,” the congress is a bold and definitive move towards promoting and accelerating the development of not only the coco sap sugar but of the coco sap-base industry as a whole, which is slowly gaining grounds in the domestic and global markets due to its economic and health benefits.

 

The growing interest in the coco sap-based products today, requires the need to formulate strategies and push expansion programs to take advantage of its competitive strengths.  It is also a challenge to hasten the realization of the coco sap’s potential as a pillar of the countryside development.
