The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Agusan del Norte, through the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan (CFIDP), conducted a one-on-one product packaging and labelling consultation for 16 coconut-based Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) on September 4, 2026.
Held at the FSUU MIRACLE Printing Facility, a Shared Service Facility for Packaging and Labelling, the activity was conducted in partnership with Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU) through its Research and Innovation Center and the facilityโs designated cooperator.
The one-on-one consultation is part of the implementation of CFIDP CocoDev: โRedefining Packaging for Coconut Products in Agusan del Norte and Butuan City,โ which aims to assist participating coconut-based MSMEs in improving their packaging and labelling of their products. Through the intervention, each of the 16 beneficiary-MSMEs will receive digital printed packaging kit worth โฑ40,000 for each product that includes consultation, physical prototyping, and high volume printing.
During the consultation, the MSMEs discussed their existing packaging material used and label designs. The FSUU team assessed their current packaging needs, product requirements, and regulatory gaps. The technical consultation provided recommendations based on the productsโ characteristics, target consumers, brand identity, and market requirements.
The recommendations from the consultation will serve as a basis for the development and improvement of the MSMEsโ packaging and labelling. The intervention aims to improve product presentation and shelf visibility while ensuring that the packaging is functional, consumer-oriented, and appropriate for the productsโ market requirements.
