CARGILL Philippines has partnered with CARE Philippines, Cebu-Bohol Relief and Rehabilitation Center (CRRC), and the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) to replant 100,000 coconut seedlings in devastated local communities through the Recovery Intervention for Severely Affected Coconut Farming Communities of Bohol by Super Typhoon Odette (RISE Coco) project.
