Building Collaborative Alliances

Our collaborations with these farmer groups are important in advancing Hatchgrove’s supply chain sustainability. Our alliances and network allow us to expand our reach to many more farmers in the Philippines and exchange resources and sustainable practices in production and processing, thereby increasing our credibility to external stakeholders. As global demand for coconut increases, we expect more farmers to join this alliance.
