Discover the innovative spirit of Capiz's agricultural backbone at the Capiz Small Coconut Farmers Cooperative (CASCOFAMCO) in Ivisan. More than just a plantation, this is a bustling hub of community enterprise where the humble coconut, known as the "tree of life," is transformed into an amazing array of valuable products.

            CASCOFAMCO is a shining example of community empowerment, where thousands of local coconut farmers have united to own and operate their own state-of-the-art Integrated Coconut Processing Facility. A visit here offers a fascinating look into the journey of the coconut, from raw material to finished good.

            You'll see firsthand how every part of the coconut is used. The cooperative produces high-quality products like virgin coconut oil (VCO), cooking oil, and even organic bath soap. But the innovation doesn't stop there. The coconut husks are processed into "coco coir" and woven into geo-nets, which are used in major infrastructure projects to prevent soil erosion.

            A tour of CASCOFAMCO is not just a visit to a factory; it's a learning experience. It serves as a show window for sustainable agriculture and local enterprise, making it a unique and insightful stop for tourists, students, and entrepreneurs. By visiting, you directly support the livelihood of Capiz's small farmers and witness the incredible versatility of the region's most important crop.
