JAPAN-BASED Green Power Development Corporation is considering Davao Oriental as site for a processing plant for whole coconuts, according to the provincial government. In a statement, it said Governor Nelson L. Dayanghirang met last Thursday with the company’s top executives led by Chief Executive Officer Gen Kimitsuka and Consultant Jose Dante Mara. Based on the its submitted proposal, the investment will also involve supplying coconut seedlings to farmers and buying the harvest from them. Mr. Dayanghirang assured support to the venture as the company sets meetings with municipal government officials as well as indigenous people communities as some of the planned farm areas and processing plant site will cover ancestral lands. Green Power Development is also eyeing the establishment of hydro- and solar-powered energy facilities to provide supply to the plant.
