A ceremonial activity with the theme “Convergence in Coconut Farming Communities Towards Sustainable Rural Enterprise Project (2020 Bayanihan)” was held last July 22, 2021, at San Andres National High School. Out of the 18 funded centers in the country, Romblon was chosen to have two centers for the Coconut Processing Convergence Project for the Municipalities of San Andres and San Agustin. The project was made possible through the partnership of Romblon State University and the Department of Agriculture – Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA).
“This project is for the Municipality of San Andres and San Agustin. Romblon State University is honored to be the way for the reality of the project. Sustainable development goals, accountability to every fund from the government where the community can benefit is significant for the success of this project.”
–Dr. Merian P. Catajay-Mani
The said a project with a total fund of Php 34 Million will pave the way for possible research opportunities and benefit local farmers and the economy of the LGUs.
Thank You, Department of Agriculture – Philippine Coconut Authority!
