Coconut Week
We would like to wish our coconut oil suppliers, Cocovida, all the best at the Megatrade Hall, Mandaluyong next week as part of the annual Coconut Festival. In the unlikely event that you happen to be in Manila from the 23rd to the 26th, please go over to Megamall and say hello!
COCO WEEK CELEBRATION AT MEGAMALL
The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) takes the lead in celebrating the National Coconut Week on August 24-30, 2007. The annual event was pursuant to Proclamation No.142 issued by then President Corazon Aquino in 1986. This celebration aims to impress on the public the richness in the coconut industry in terms of product versatility and applications and in its manpower resources, the greater number coming from the more than 3.5 million coconut farmers and farm workers.
Highlight of the celebration this year is a coconut festival on August 23-26 at the SM Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. The four-day festival features a trade fair-exhibit which provides the different industry stakeholders - producers, suppliers, traders, prospective investors and consumers - a venue to interact. Special events like seminars on various topics, product and book launchings, and techno and cooking demos will be held during the trade fair-exhibit days.
