| Bohol to host NCC anew
The next National Carabao Conference (NCC) will be held in Bohol, to be hosted by ACDI Multipurpose Cooperative and co-hosted by Bohol Dairy Cooperative (BODACO), the primary conduit cooperative of DA-PCC at Ubay Stock Farm (DA-PCC at USF).
During the 3rd NCISA General Assembly, members of the board of trustees agreed for ACDI MPC to host next yearโs NCC.
ACDI Multipurpose Cooperative is an institutional cooperative serving members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). It is recognized as the Most Outstanding Large Category cooperative in NCR by the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and as the largest cooperative in the country, with an asset base of more than PHP54 billion as of 2023.
Meanwhile, the BODACO, situated in Ubay, Bohol, specializes in milk processing, turning local raw milk into pasteurized drinks distributed widely through school-based milk feeding programs. Aside from pasteurized fresh milk and yogurt drinks offered by the co-op, BODACO is known for its signature Chocobao, a chocolate-flavored carabao milk product.
Aside from the host announcement, matters such as refining the NCISA structure, membership qualifications and dues, and proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation were also discussed.
An election for the associationโs new officers was also included in the agenda.
Imelda Bautista, a member of Aces Philproducers Corporation, was elected as the new NCISA treasurer, while the other board of trustees per island cluster are as follows:
