Led by Engr. Shynettee Clide P.

The DA-RFO XI F2C2 Team continues to roll out the Agro-Enterprise Clustering Approach (AECA) for the Montevista Coconut Industry Cluster. In collaboration with the Site Working Group (SWG), and the CFIDP staff, the team recently conducted a series of orientations for sub-clusters across three key barangays: Concepcion, Dauman, and New Visayas.

A central focus of this activity was the gathering of accurate farmer profiles and production data—the backbones of any successful cluster. By establishing a clear Production Module and Cluster Supply Plan, our officers are now better equipped to manage supply volumes and project harvests.

Through the AECA process, the Montevista Coconut Industry Cluster moves one step closer to organized, collective marketing and sustainable enterprise management. This strategic approach not only secures better market links but also ensures that our farmers are "market-ready" and resilient.

Together, we are transforming individual efforts into a unified, competitive agro-enterprise!
