Transforming Tomorrow with Systemic Innovation

Pioneering Sustainable Solutions for Global Prosperity Leading the Way in Sustainable Development

Together We can Make a Difference

“I have witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by our farmers and the immense potential for growth within these sectors. Syntegral’s approach represents a significant advancement towards achieving sustainable and equitable agricultural development in our country.

Syntegral Global Solutions is introducing innovative methodologies that promise to revolutionize, initially, the coconut and abaca industries. Their commitment to paying farmers up to 6 times their current income is a groundbreaking step towards improving the livelihoods of our coconut and abaca farmers in the Zamboanga del Sur and Bicol Regions.

This initiative will not only increase farmers’ incomes but also motivate them to adopt better agricultural practices, thereby enhancing the overall productivity and quality of our agricultural industry. It’s changing lives.”

Syntegral Global Solutions

Syntegral Global Solutions (SGS) is poised to revolutionize the Philippine coconut industry by
establishing a fully integrated processing operation that leverages innovative methodologies and partnerships.
Our approach not only aims to enhance productivity but also to significantly improve the livelihoods of coconut
farmers in the regions we operate. Our mission is to drive systemic innovation in the coconut industry,
contributing to sustainable development and economic growth in the Philippines.

The Philippine coconut industry, despite being the second largest in the world, is significantly underutilized,
with 70% of its production focused on low-value copra. This limits farmers’ income and squanders much of the
coconut’s potential value. Additionally, the industry is plagued by inefficiencies, outdated agricultural practices,
and a lack of modern processing facilities.

SGS has developed a comprehensive development model that integrates advanced processing
technologies with a strong focus on sustainability and community development.

Comprehensive Development Model

Integrated Processing Facilities

We will establish state-of-the-art facilities in regions with abundant
coconut supply but currently lacking modern processing capabilities.

Value Addition

Our facilities will produce a wide range of high-value coconut products, including
virgin coconut oil, coconut water, coconut flour, and other derivatives for both domestic and export
markets.

Farmer Empowerment

SGS is committed to paying farmers significantly higher rates than current
market prices and providing them with the necessary training, inputs, and support to increase
productivity.

Public-Private Partnerships

We are partnering with various government agencies, including the
Philippine Coconut Authority and the Department of Agriculture, to ensure the success of our
initiatives.

Sustainability and ESG Integration

Our operations will be grounded in environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) principles, ensuring that our impact is both positive and sustainable.

SGS is not just building a business; we are spearheading a paradigm shift in the Philippine coconut industry. By leveraging innovative technologies, fostering deep-rooted partnerships, and committing to sustainable practices, we are creating a model that promises significant returns for investors while delivering profound social and economic benefits to the communities we serve. We can turn this vision into reality, transforming the lives of countless Filipino farmers and setting a new standard for agricultural development in the region.
