PHIL COCONUT AUTHORITY

Nature of Business: Government Agency

The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) is a government agency of the Philippines, established to develop, regulate, and promote the growth of the coconut industry in the country. Its functions include research and development, extension services, policy formulation, and the implementation of programs to enhance coconut production, processing, and marketing.

PCA is neither a factory manufacturing coconut products nor a trading company that buys and sells coconut goods for commercial profit. Instead, it serves as a supervisory, regulatory, and developmental body for the entire coconut sector in the Philippines, supporting various stakeholders including farmers, processors, and exporters.
