FPSDC keeps in mind, and heart, our local farmers and how the Federation can help them get better income through their products and services. With this, FPSDC launched the newest upgrade to its product distribution and marketing facility: the e-cooptrade.coop. This is an e-commerce platform that carries the F&C brand together with other products from the cooperatives. It aims to be the premier cyber marketing hub of the cooperatives in the Philippines as it enables the buying and selling of products from the cooperatives and the communities.
The e-commerce platform, e-cooptrade.coop is the brainchild of the tri-partnership of FPSDC, RedRoot Artists Cooperative, and Cooperative Development Authority. The goal of this project is to help boost the cooperative’s and community enterprises’ competitiveness in an ever-changing global market through online presence. It aims to promote homegrown & organic products by cooperatives and social enterprisers in the Philippines.
This alternative and sustainable form of marketplace has the power to advance the local Philippine economy, illustrating that the cooperatives and community enterprises can work together to provide high-quality, homegrown products in the market.
