We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our very own—Julia Marie P. Balase of COCONATURALS—for emerging as one of the official winners in the 2025 Young Farmers Challenge Provincial Level Competition (Start-Up, Open Category)!

Coming from the community of Anibongan, Maco, Davao de Oro, Julia continues to prove that local talent, passion, and innovation can create meaningful impact. Her enterprise, COCONATURALS, showcases how creativity and sustainable practices can transform simple resources into promising agribusiness opportunities.

Among 38 outstanding youth enterprises recognized this year, Julia’s achievement highlights the growing strength of young agripreneurs in our locality. With the ₱80,000 grant, she is now set to further develop and scale her project—bringing our community’s pride to even greater heights.

To Julia: your dedication inspires many young dreamers in Anibongan and beyond. Keep shining, keep creating, and keep leading the way for a more innovative agriculture sector. 

Congratulations! Your success is our community’s success.
