Iligan’s Homegrown Flavors Shine at National Cacao Congress in Cebu

Iligan Highlights Agricultural Pride at the National Cacao Congress 2025

Representatives from Iligan City’s Local Economic Development and Investment Promotions (LEDIP) Office joined the National Cacao Congress 2025 to exhibit the city’s finest local goods and agricultural innovations. The event, hosted at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino, served as a national platform for cities and municipalities to promote agricultural excellence and sustainable farming practices.

Iligan’s exhibit featured a variety of locally made cacao-based and agricultural products, emphasizing the city’s commitment to empowering local farmers and small enterprises. The display also captured Iligan’s cultural richness through its four tourism pillars: Nature, Tri-Culture, Adventure, and Gastronomy—an integrated representation of its brand identity, “Iligan: Majestic Waterfalls and Beyond.”

Focus on Agricultural Innovation

The 2025 congress theme, “The Science of Intercropping Coconut with Cacao… PLUS Cash Crops,” highlighted innovations in agricultural diversification. Iligan’s participation aligned with national efforts to promote sustainable intercropping systems that can boost productivity and income among Filipino farmers.

Through its participation, Iligan showcased not only its local delicacies and agri-products but also its potential as a hub for agribusiness and investment in Northern Mindanao.
