main products of their processing business.
Lemongrass processing business was identified by
the community itself because they became living-witness and personally
experienced the benefits brought by the lemongrass-processed products such as
hydrosol and essential oil.
They also have an existing seven-hectare land of
lemongrass plantation that can suffice their present production.
To ensure supply sufficient and sustain business
operation, each landowner member commits to plant at least half a hectare each
year.
The project aims to uplift the lives of the people
in Barangay Ima, especially the members of IWICA. The success of the business
operation would give each of them an opportunity to generate additional income
