DAVAO— Fourteen homegrown Davao brands have brought their finest coconut products to the Sandugo OTOP Trade Expo 2026, running until July 19 at Island City Mall in Tagbilaran City. The Davao delegation is turning heads at the Coconut Philippines Pavilion, offering Boholanos and tourists a taste of the region’s premium agri-enterprises.
A Davao Showcase at the Heart of the Expo
The Coconut Philippines Pavilion, occupying Booths C1 to C8 near East Exit 3, has become a magnet for visitors seeking high-quality, proudly Filipino coconut-based goods. The pavilion features an impressive lineup of Davao brands, including AG Pacific Nutriceuticals Corporation, Ahya Coco Organic Food Manufacturing Corporation, and Healthy Sweets Mindanao Corp. Each booth tells a story of how local cooperatives and enterprises are transforming raw coconut into world-class products.
Also drawing attention are Angie Handicrafts and Serilla Wooden Crafts, whose coconut-shell creations and wooden pieces showcase the versatility of the tree of life. Lubritech Asia Trading and Bioskin Philippines offer wellness and personal care items derived from coconut oil, while Lao Integrated Farms and BREAD-MPC represent the farming backbone of the Davao Region. The diverse lineup—from food to fashion to wellness—demonstrates the depth of Davao’s coconut industry.
From Davao with Pride
The inter-provincial collaboration was made possible through the Department of Trade and Industry’s regional offices, which partnered to bring the Davao delegation to Bohol’s premier trade event. The initiative falls under the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan, a program designed to help coconut farmers and MSMEs move beyond raw copra into higher-value, market-ready products. The Sandugo OTOP Expo provides the perfect stage for these enterprises to find new customers and business partners.
For Davao’s coconut farmers and entrepreneurs, the expo is more than just a selling opportunity. It is a chance to tell their stories, build their brands, and connect with institutional buyers, exporters, and tourists. Every purchase supports a family, a cooperative, or a small factory back in Davao. The pavilion embodies the spirit of inclusive growth that both regions champion.
