Growing Beyond | Shell #ProjectCoconut

The Filipino farmer versatile resilient and hardworking Tirelessly harvesting the land that provides us food and resources Coconut farming is the main livelihood for its residents However With long periods of waiting and little to no productivity The farmers are in a struggle to make ends meet We believe that like the tree of life, with its multitude of capabilities So should the farmers be able to do more with their full potential Together at Shell, in partnership with JNJ Oil Industries We envision a more practical livelihood program for the farmers. To provide them with alternative opportunities to make a living. So they can support their families give them a better future and a more sustainable way of living The aim of this project is to first improve the produce of the coconut farmers by increasing yield and also, at the same time, providing alternative sources of livelihood to increase their income. Program interventions include provision of technical and entrepreneurship training Additional livelihood and income streams and support for organizational development Through the formation of cooperatives, and conducting of workshops on financial management leadership, and values formation This is our first time to have a partner as big as Shell and the best thing about it is We learn a lot from them, even doing the CSR properly With their guidance, we do believe that the intensity or the magnitude that we can do is bigger than what we can expect. Coconuts are the primary source of biodiesel in the Philippines Shell, as a responsible energy company Proactively works towards the sustainable use of our natural resources
