A CANADIAN network of cooperatives is seeking to forge a partnership with the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 2 (DA-RFO2) to boost the coffee industry in the Philippines with P260-million investment in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley).
Ferdinand Cortez of the DA-RFO2 Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Section said that the Society for Cooperation for International Development (Socodevi), a Quebec-based network of cooperative and mutual assistance enterprises, recently met with DA-RFO2 representatives to explore potential collaboration opportunities.
