On March 18, 2025, the ATI-RTC XII distributed Coconut Pressers and Coconut Graters to coconut farmers' associations and cooperatives who had participated in the November 2024 Training on Virgin Coconut Oil, Coco Sweetener, and its By-products.

This equipment donation will provide the farmers with the necessary tools to put their newfound knowledge into practice, enabling them to process and market their coconut products more efficiently.

The initiative underscores ATI-RTC XII's commitment to supporting local farmers and fostering the growth of the coconut industry in Region 12 through its CFIDP Region XII team, led by CFIDP Focal Person Ms Hannadi G. Pompong and Alternate Focal Engr. Teofilo T. Jumawan, Jr.
