PHILIPPINES – Empowering Family Farmer-Members through Coop-to-Coop Cooperations

The AgriCOOPh Coops4food program was introduced in 2020. This is an initiative that links producers’ cooperatives to consumers’ cooperatives, organizations, and community associations. The Coops4food model is a community-supported, market-driven strategy that generates interest and unlocks the potential of non-traditional markets as procurement organizations of fresh farm products to match the demand of their members and constituents. This business model helps to develop a food system that increases the intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, and organic rice in the Filipino diet rather than one that relies more on processed food from supermarkets.

In 2021, the Coops4food program expanded with the participation of AgriCOOPh through its Sales and Marketing Service (SMS) unit and member cooperatives in the supplementary feeding program of the DSWD-7. This is under the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP), a program that aims to help mitigate hunger, ensure food and nutrition security, and reduce poverty in urban and rural communities, including marginalized communities.
