P5-M coconut hub to rise in Bohol

A P5-million coconut-based agro industrial hub will soon rise in Bohol province as part of the government’s effort to create jobs, encourage business, and develop livelihood among marginalized coconut farmers, the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) over the weekend said.

In a statement, outgoing PCA Administrator Euclides Forbes said that the provincial government of Bohol has started the construction of the country’s first coco-based agro-industrial complex which could also serve as a tourism destination in the province.
