Exhibiting at IFEX Philippines 2025

Pinagdanlayan Multi-Purpose Cooperative (PMPC) is a dynamic rural-based cooperative located in Dolores, Quezon, Philippines. Established in 1992, the cooperative was initially formed to uplift the economic conditions of local farmers and residents. Over the decades, PMPC has evolved into a multi-sectoral enterprise involved in coffee production, agribusiness services, garment manufacturing, and cooperative lending.

Core Business

PMPC’s primary mission is to empower its members through sustainable livelihood programs, value-adding agricultural processing, and inclusive business practices. The cooperative engages in both agro-enterprise development and non-agricultural ventures, providing members with diversified income sources.

Product and Service Offerings

The cooperative’s diversified portfolio includes:

• Coffee Production and Processing

  • Ground Coffee (Master Blend) – Roasted and ground locally sourced coffee beans
  • Drip Coffee Sachets (6-pack) – Single-serve drip packs for convenience and freshness
  • Roasted Excelsa Beans (1 kg) – Sourced from highland Quezon coffee farms under the “Kape Danlayan” brand

• Garment and Textile Services

  • Production of uniforms, shirts, and promotional materials using embroidery, sublimation, and heat-press techniques
  • Supported by SSF (Shared Service Facility) grants from the Department of Trade and Industry

• Agribusiness & Livelihood Services

  • Hog fattening and livestock distribution programs
  • Agricultural lending and microfinancing services for farmer-members
  • Technical training on animal health, organic farming, and entrepreneurship

• Retail and Marketing

  • Local cooperative store for farm inputs, household items, and cooperative products
  • Participation in provincial and national trade fairs (e.g., OTOP, DTI Go Lokal)

Specialization and Core USP

PMPC’s unique strength lies in its integration of community development and agro-enterprise innovation. The cooperative is especially known for its Kape Danlayan brand, which champions Quezon-grown Excelsa beans—a lesser-known but robust variety appreciated by specialty coffee enthusiasts.

Their adoption of Shared Service Facility (SSF) technologies for both coffee roasting and garment production enables high-quality outputs with consistent branding. This capability allows PMPC to compete in niche local and export markets despite being based in a rural area.

Financial Performance

While specific financial disclosures are unavailable, the cooperative reports consistent asset growth across its three decades of operation. According to Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) benchmarks, PMPC is classified as a large-scale cooperative with over 1,000 members and PHP 50M+ in assets as of 2023.

Revenue streams include:

• Coffee product sales (30%)
• Garments manufacturing (25%)
• Lending and agribusiness (45%)
