Bill declaring Davao 'chocolate capital' triggers scuffle over Philippine branding


Mindanao Bureau Chief
DAVAO CITY — Legislation declaring the Davao region the cacao and chocolate capital of the Philippines has provoked opposition from other cacao growing regions, who instead proposed more inclusive branding declaring the Philippines as the country of origin for exports.
Val D. Turtur, president of the Cacao Industry Development Association of Mindanao, Inc. and former chair of the Philippine Cacao Industry Council (PCIC), said the approval of Senate Bill (SB) No. 1741 “will get the attention of the international community that the National Government is supportive of the cacao industry,” while gaining the region’s farmers some leverage on pricing.
