Help on shipping sample of VCO in continental US

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I hope that you will put into consideration the effort

being exerted right now by the vcno association along

with DTI, PCA, BFAD and DOST, etc. in making sure

that what is marketed abroad will be according to the

best of quality and price. Since there are a lot who

are doing it on their own we must be careful with

maintaining a high standard of quality.

I just came from a gen meet of the VCNO in which BFAD,

CITEM and PCA were part of the meeting. Heavily

discussed was the fast tracking of the standards to

make sure that the consumer will be protected and made

aware of the standards of quality that is being set.

You can get more info on the interim standards by

getting in touch with the association. We are working

closely on the national standards for VCNO with the

concerned gov't agencies.

I hope that after your careful study of the existing

brands in the market, unbless your making your own.

You would have already chosen to bring samples that

will at least pass for high quality and not just for a

cheaper price. That is why we are working closely

with BFAD to be able to help the industry come up with

high quality VCNO and to make sure that we don't

experience another nata de coco incident.

A lot of the buyers normally require the following

although it varies from time to time but not limited

to:

cold processed

Centrifuged processed

With no heat

kosher

halal

organic

bfad approval

HACCP/GMP

ISO

So you see there is a lot to consider. Hope that ou

will be open to discussing further. I also want to

invite you again to join the association so that you

may benefit from it if you are serious with making it

a business. aside from an advocacy.

Thanks

As I have suggested to Divina Bawalan of PCA, it would be a good idea to have

" inspectors " at the customs " outgoing area " to make sure that what goes out for

export is indeed " quality vcno " .

My husband and I have been producing cold pressed VCNO for personal use. By the

way, how does one get to be a member of the association of vcno?

Thanks.

Does this mean now that all exporters have to be a member of the VCNO

association?

Of course not. what i am suggesting is to be one

although its not mandatory. WE put up the association

and worked hand in hand with the gov't agencies and

other ngos concerned with the coconut industry to be

able to come up with the natioanl standards that will

benefit the industry. We don't want a repeat of the

nata de coco incident. There are a lot out there

doing vcno, but how sure are we that what is coming

out will conform with what should be in terms of

quality. I am not questioning that what the others

are exporting is of inferior quality, only that we

should be open to working togther for the growth of

the industry whether you are a member or not. Coz

whatever happens will affect the industry good or bad.

Thanks. But if other exporters are non-members of the vcno association, it

would be hard to regulate the export of vcno. If this is the case our only hope

is to have the exported vcno tested at the port before shipment, test for

pureness of vcno, aflatoxins, molds, and no moisture content.
