The Coconut Negosyo Festival 2025 opened on November 27 at Oriental Prince in Dahican, celebrating the coconut as Davao Orientalโs โTree of Lifeโ and a vital driver of local livelihood and innovation. Led by DTI Davao Oriental with support from the Provincial Government and the City of Mati, the event gathered coconut farmers, MSMEs, youth creatives, artisans, and partner agencies.
Exhibits and demonstrations highlighted coco-based food technology, weaving, beadwork, fabric arts, and a Coconut Product Innovation Competition. LGUs presented their own coconut displays, while youth sessions and the Rampa Oryental fashion showcase added vibrancy to the celebration.
The festival underscored the provinceโs commitment to strengthening the coconut industry and empowering community-based innovation.
