Key Insights & Recommendations
Lanzones-Coconut Synergy: With 3,825 farmers (49%) growing lanzones, this seasonal crop provides Q4 cash injection while coconut provides baseline income year-round.
Cacao Industrial Opportunity: Nearly 900 farmers already growing cacao, with concentration in Catarman and Mahinog, enabling shared processing for tablea/chocolate production.
Vegetable Gap: Despite fertile volcanic soil, only 5.6% of farmers grow vegetables, creating opportunity for shade-tolerant intercropping to improve food security.
Livestock Integration: Only 1.6% participation in livestock, offering significant room for coconut-cattle or coconut-goat integration for natural weed control and fertilizer.
