The said training was a follow up of the Training on Coconut Processing held on September 23, 2021 which featured among others the technology on Nata de Coco processing. During that time the initial fermentation process was conducted. The follow through demonstration on harvesting, sweetening and packaging was done to the group to complete the learning development of the community group composed of women and coconut farmers. 

The training also included basic food hygiene and good manufacturing practice (GMP). This activity is part of the Livelihood Trainings for COVID-19 Economic Recovery.
