The Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) Regional Office II successfully conducted the Coconut Farmers Cooperatives Summit 2026 on October 7, 2026, in Hotel Andrea City of Cauayan, Isabela, bringing together 15 Coconut Farmers Cooperatives (CFCs), government implementing agencies, partner agencies, and CDA RO II personnel for meaningful dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collaboration toward a stronger coconut industry in Region II.

The activity formally opened with the Welcome Remarks of Atty. Jovilyn M. Gaffud-Marquez, Regional Director, setting the tone for a productive gathering focused on strengthening coconut farmer cooperatives and fostering collaboration among stakeholders.

The Summit was graced by Dr. Emmanuel M. Santiaguel, CDA Administrator, who served as the Keynote Speaker, highlighting the vital role of cooperatives in empowering coconut farmers and contributing to the sustainable development of the coconut industry.

Adding to the meaningful gathering was the Solidarity Speech delivered by Ma’am Sylvia P. Domingo, City Cooperative Officer of Cauayan City, Isabela, expressing support for the continued strengthening of coconut farmer cooperatives and collaborative efforts among stakeholders.

The activity was also attended by representatives from the Agricultural Training Institute – Regional Training Center 02 (ATI-RTC 02), Department of Agriculture – Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (DA-PhilMech), Department of Trade and Industry Region 02 (DTI R02), Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), and Department of Agriculture – High Value Crops Development Program (DA-HVCDP).

Anchored on the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan (CFIDP) and supported by Republic Acts No. 11524, 11364, and 9520, the Summit underscored the importance of cooperative strength, sustainable agriculture, value addition, market access, and inclusive growth in empowering coconut farmers and building a more competitive and sustainable coconut industry in Region II.

The Summit concluded with the Closing Remarks of Atty. Nita Doreen L. Maestre-Tabbu, Assistant Regional Director, who encouraged the participating cooperatives to continue moving forward, reminding them that “malayo na ang inyong narating, pero mas malayo pa ang inyong lalakbayin” which is a reminder that while much has already been achieved, greater opportunities and milestones still lie ahead for the cooperatives and the coconut farming community.
