The World Coconut Congress (WCC) 2025 + Sustainable Coconut Roundtable (SCR) 2025, the premier gathering of coconut stakeholders, is set on September 24 to 26, at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City. With the theme “Future-Proofing the Coconut,” the congress aims to ensure the coconut industry remains resilient, profitable, and sustainable amid growing environmental, economic, and geopolitical pressures.

The WCC) 2025 + SCR 2025 will bring together leading stakeholders from across the global coconut value chain—including producers, processors, exporters, researchers, policymakers, and investors—for a landmark convergence of innovation, collaboration, and strategic advancement.

This high-impact event is organized by the United Coconut Associations of the Philippines (UCAP), in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA). Joining UCAP in this initiative is the Sustainable Coconut Partnership (SCP), which will host the Roundtable Plenaries on September 26, spotlighting global efforts toward sustainability and inclusive growth. SCP will also lead a Members and Partners Day on September 25, and conduct Practitioners’ Training sessions on September 24 and 26, designed to equip industry professionals with actionable insights and practical tools.  The event is held in cooperation with the International Coconut Community (ICC) and supported by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB).  

The three-day congress will feature high-level plenary sessions led by global thought leaders, delivering critical insights into emerging market trends, policy developments, and agricultural innovations that are shaping the future of the coconut industry.

Complementing the plenaries is a curated exhibition showcasing cutting-edge product innovations, advanced equipment, and a diverse array of coconut-based solutions—from food and beverage to health, beauty, and industrial applications.

At the heart of the exhibition, the Exhibit Stage Area will have a dynamic program of live activities, including cooking demonstrations by celebrated chefs and culinary competition champions. Adding to the excitement is the inaugural Keto Conference PH, a pioneering forum for exploring ketogenic nutrition and the evolving role of coconut products in health and wellness.

“The Congress is a venue for collaboration, innovation, and long-term strategy to secure the future of the coconut industry—not just for national economies, but for the millions of farmers and communities who depend on it,” said Marco C. Reyes, Chairman of the United Coconut Associations of the Philippines (UCAP).
